First time contributor workshop or 1/2 day training

[AmyJuneH]

AmyJune (me) is proposing to lead a 1/2 day training or workshop. Either Friday or Sunday, whichever day makes the most sense...

Workshop Proposal:

Come for the code, stay for the community.

Drupal thrives on community contributions in the form of patches and documentation to both contributed modules and core. This helps the project move forward and stay relevant.

Not everyone who works on open source projects is a senior developer. Drupal is built through lots of little tasks. Smaller tasks help people increase confidence and gain experience, which, in turn, leads to more contributions. We'll build on each other's strengths to learn how to navigate the issue queue while having fun trying new things.

But how does one become a contributor?

Together we will go through the process of creating an issue, writing a patch, uploading the fix to Drupal.org, reviewing the patch for RTBC (reviewed and tested by the community) and more.

We'll even take a look at the upcoming GitLab contribution process because specific tools and processes change over time.

Prerequisites:

• A basic understanding of Drupal and maybe the command line (but not necessary)
• A laptop

About the Trainer:

AmyJune is an active contributor in the Drupal community. A self described "non-coder", she has been a top 20 contributor to the Drupal project two years in a row. As a Community Ambassador, she believes that giving back to an open source project should be easy and fun.

I am going to close this one since it looks like the training was added to the site.
