The Great Git Migration

sdboyer — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:54:35 +0000

Type: Not planned session

Where once there was CVS, tomorrow, there shall git reside. In this session, we'll talk about what the switch is going to mean, where we are in the process, and what we need from YOU!

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

s/CVS/git/g

Drupal.org is migrating from CVS to git. That means core and contrib, every module and every theme, every install profile - everything that was once held in CVS will be moved over to git. For the initial conversion, which we're calling phase 2, our goal is more or less 1:1 feature parity with what we do in CVS now. The big goodies will come later, in phase 3.

From Dries' original typo trying to register the Dutch word for community,
... to the adoption of Drupal by kerneltrap.org
... to the jump across the Atlantic and some of the first and still prominent Drupal-based companies coming out of the Howard Dean presidential campaign,
... to the weekend from hell and Drupal.org finally moving to dedicated servers,
... to the camps now being held on six continents,
we'll look at how has Drupal spread throughout the world and try to pinpoint turning points in the development of the Drupal community.

June 2010 we took a bold leap as a new company and decided to spend part our summer developing an Open-Source Internet Curriculum. We partnered with COSOLA-MACILE, a non-profit organization focused on K-12 education in less advantaged communities.

In July, we are travelling to Itabo, Dominican Republic to teach 6th-12th grade students and teachers about the Internet, Open-Source technology and Drupal, using Drupal Gardens as the primary teaching tool. The Pilot Program will run for approximately 2-weeks as an after school program open to interested MACILE participants.

Mitigating the Developers pain

clemens.tolboom — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 16:30:53 +0000

Type: Not planned session

Checking out a projects page for open issues is breathtaking. How can the number of open issues be reduced without the help of the projects developer? It is called triage and can be applied by almost everybody. Can it?

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

How to use the issue queue is documented on http://drupal.org/node/317 but we needs hands to help closing a lot of dead wood issues and prevent developers to be overwhelmed by newly created issues.

For this to happen we need triage team members and useful instructions and permissions of developers about who and what can be tempered with in their issue queue.

On http://drupal.org/node/838682 an effort is made to document what we normal soles can do about it.

Everyone being able to enable a module or theme could help with this handson session.
