Drupal Developer Days Szeged: The sprints

We are coming to the end of the dedicated sprint days at Drupal Developer Days Szeged. Let’s take a look at the success we’ve had so far.

Sprinters started arriving early on Monday morning and by the end of the first day the two sprint rooms were almost full. 

A third sprint room had to be added to the roster on Wednesday as we were out of space on Tuesday evening. To give you a good idea on numbers the total number of sprinters so far is over 150!

There’s a great vibe in the sprint rooms. Everyone has been saying how well organised the sprints are. Everyone’s enthusiasm to work on Drupal is sky high.

The sprints have covered many initiatives for Drupal 8 and Drupal.org with huge progress being made already. Since Monday many new contributors have worked on Drupal 8 and have already had their work committed to core.

The number of core commits this week so far has passed the 90, and it’s going up at a speedy rate. Many thanks to Webchick, AlexPott, and Catch who have been working around the clock to commit everyone's hard work.

Here are some highlights of the week so far:

  • The Frontend sprint needed to mass relocate as so many people turned up. They are now in a bigger location taking up half a sprint room.
  • The Beta Blocker Bunnies working hard to reach the Beta release of Drupal 8.
  • A special mention for the coffee. Free latte macchiatos (hand delivered by Gábor Hojtsy if you ask him nicely).
  • Everyone regrouping after dinner for late night coding in the sprint rooms until being made to leave.
