Assuring quality on Drupal.org
This core conversation is all about brainstorming better Drupal.org development processes, and is a first step in discussion, which will continue in DSWG community conversation on Wednesday. If you are planning to attend DSWG session, it is beneficial to attend this core conversation as well.
Sprints
On Friday, September 27, we’ll have Drupal.org table(s) in the big sprint room. Come and help us improve home for the Drupal project. No specific coding skills required!
Big issue queue clean-up
We are going to go though Drupal.org maintenance queues, such as Webmasters, Content, Infrastructure, fix as many issues as we can and close old, not relevant any more issues.
You can also join remotely via IRC, #drupalorg channel on Freenode.
Drupal 7 QA and bug fixing
We are very close to launch D7 Drupal.org. Community QA is going on for a few weeks already. Come and do some more testing to ensure successful launch. You can also help by actually fixing some of the bugs found during QA. Helping the team now will literally bring launch date closer.
Looking forward to meeting you at DrupalCon Prague!
As always, we’d like to say thanks to all volunteers who are working with us and to the Drupal Association Supporting Partners, who made it possible for us to continue the upgrade project. Supporting Partners such as Aten Design Group, Palantir.net, Deeson Online and Adyax crowd source funds that pay for the development team’s time and Drupal.org hosting costs.
