To contribute

This is a wiki page. Please edit.

To participate

• add an "event" of type "sprint" on groups.drupal.org in a group for your area, to put your event on drupical.com and get exposure to people in your area
• use "Drupal Global Contribution Weekend 2019" in the description of your event, like: "Drupal All-day Contribution Event in Anywhere Town, IL, USA is part of Drupal Global Contribution Weekend 2019."
• add a link to your event on this page. The link can be to a website, meetup, event on groups.drupal.org, blog post or whatever is appropriate for your event.
• link back to this listing of local events
• use the #ContributionWeekend hash tag on twitter
• use the tag "ContributionWeekend2019" on d.o issues (no # in this tag name!)

Suggested announcement

A blurb to add to your session/event description (edit to fit your event):

Everyone is welcome; if you have built a site in Drupal, you can contribute. We will split into groups and work on Drupal core issues. Bring your laptop. For new folks: you can get a head start also by making an account on Drupal.org, getting some contribution tools, and developers can install git before coming and git clone Drupal 8 core.

Resources for participating in a sprint

• Drupal 8 change notifications
• Resources for contributed module developers: upgrading your modules to Drupal 8. Look at git logs and 8.x issues from modules that have already started a 8.x branch. As you port, first commit a 7.x version as initial 8.x, and make frequent public commits (and issues in your issue queue!). In those commit messages: 1) say what you did, *and* 2) add "per ...." and site the change record, or link to an example in another module that led you to think that was what needed to be done. The "per" is really useful. See also the Pants example module.
• Use irc, and post a comment when about to work on an issue.
• Drupalize.me free Community videos
