Drupalcon Boston 2008 Coding Sprint at the MIT Stata Center

Mike Hostetler — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 20:43:34 +0000

Drupalcon is wrapping up today with a code sprint hosted at MIT's Stata Center. At least 100 drupal developers are all gathered in this beautiful building right now.

My goal for the day was to submit one patch back to the Drupal project. The ways of collaboration in Drupal are designed to keep the project quality high. The effort required to download the code, change something, test it isn't new. However, the extra steps of creating a patch, explaining what the patch does, submitting the patch to the issue queue, receiving feedback from other developers, changing my patch, uploading it again, etc, etc is new.

So, as of 4pm, I was finally able to submit not just 1, but 4 patches back to the Drupal project. Surpassing my goal is pretty exciting, but contributing back to a project that's given me so much is even more exciting. If you don't know about Drupal, check it out at http://drupal.org.
