How do I join Contribution Day?
You can attend Contribution Day free of charge.
Step one is to register to attend. It's a popular day with limited numbers, so make sure you get in early.
Remote participation is also available via Slack and Zoom. Watch the #drupalsouth-code-sprint channel for details on how to join closer to the day.
Looking for inspiration for the day? Why not take a look at the contributor tasks to find out ways to get involved. Groups will generally be arranged by topic, so find a group working on something that interests you, join in and have fun!
Why does contribution matter?
The Drupal open-source project is reliant on community contributions that help advance and improve it. Contribution Day is a chance to come together and focus efforts for tangible results and valuable knowledge-sharing.
Taking part also helps build your contribution levels for the Certified Partner Program.
How do I set up a development environment?
For local development environment setup, our pick is Docker Compose. Follow the instructions for installing Docker Compose on OSX, Windows and Linux.
If you don't already have a local development environment for Drupal contribution, you can set up a starter project using this: composer create-project mstrelan/drupal-contrib
See the README.md for more details.
If you're more familiar with DDEV, we recommend you look at DDEV Drupal Contrib.
If you experience any issues, join us on Slack beforehand, and we'll happily answer your questions.
What else do I need to know?
Make sure you read the DrupalSouth Code of Conduct, so that we can all foster a safe and inclusive environment for every Community Day participant.
