Taking a community initiative from idea to success, a Bug Smash case study
Time: Wednesday 19th October 11:20-11:35
Room: Ballroom 2
Track: Showcases & Project Management
Created in October 2020, Bugsmash is a community-run Drupal initiative with the goal to tackle the growing backlog of bugs in Drupal Core.
Working asynchronously (though based in Australian-friendly timezones) Drupal community members from around the globe work together to smash (triage, update and close) Drupal bugs.
With 450+ members, this is the largest active Drupal community initiative that is making a substantial contribution to Drupal core and helping to train new community members.
This case study will cover an overview of the initiative, how and why it was started, how it is run and how it continues to grow by one of its founding members - Griffyn Heels.
