Drupal Sprint - Vancouver

Getting set up - Please have these steps setup before the sprint!

1. Create an account on Drupal.org if you do not yet have one.
2. Set up an IRC client to access Drupal's IRC.
   • Server: irc.freenode.net
   • Port: 6667
   • Nickname: Use your Drupal login if it is available. (Registering your nick)

   Suggested clients:

   • Desktop applications: Colloquy or Limechat (Mac), Xchat (Windows)
   • Chat clients with IRC plugins: Adium (Mac), Trillium (Windows), Pidgin (Linux)
   • Web-based chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/

   Read Drupal IRC information

   Join the #drupal-pnw and #drupal-twig and #drupal-contribute channels.

3. Install git.

4. Install a local development stack.

   Drupal developer's suggest the Acquia Dev Desktop, which has installers for both Windows and Mac. Follow the Drupal Ladder instructions. (video)

   Other suggestions:

   • MAMP (Mac) (video)
   • WAMP (Windows) (video)
   • Ubuntu web server (linux) (video)

   Create 3 development sites with 3 databases. For simplicity I recommend:

   • d8.dev with a d8 database to do your development against
   • d8clean.dev with a d8clean database to compare your conversion code against the latest core.
   • d8twig.dev with a d8twig database to review the twig sandbox code.

5. Clone Drupal 8 and D8 Twig Sandbox with git:

   (run these commands from within your respective web directories)

   D8 Twig sandbox webroot:

   git clone --recursive --branch 8.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git your/d8/webroot/path
   cd your/d8/webroot/path

   D8 Twig sandbox webroot:

   git clone --branch front-end http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/pixelmord/1750250.git your/d8twig/webroot/path
   cd your/d8twig/webroot/path 

6. Read some reference material
7. Install the copies of Drupal and you're ready to patch!.

During the sprint

1. Create an account on this site if you do not yet have one.
2. Take a look at the sprint tasks or types of available tasks and see what you'd like to try.
3. Work with a mentor to find a task.
