Drupal.org redesign sprint in San Francisco

During a lunch at the Paris sprint, Dries suggested doing a sprint in San Francisco. I ran with the idea and now we are working on implementing the Drupal.org redesign at Chapter 3’s freshly-refurnished office. Mark Burdett, Matt Cheney, Erik Hopp, Josh Koenig, Kieran Lal, Courtney Miller, Todd Ross Nienkerk, Colin Sagan, David Strauss, and I are busy implementing the new Drupal.org. Chris Bryant, Dmitri Gaskin, Karoly Negyesi, Stephanie Pakrul, and Derek Wright are joining us later this week. I am working on the dashboard and helping organize everything. Kieran has a full list of what we are working on.

Thanks to Chapter 3 for expediting their new desks making room for 12 more people. AF83 and Advomatic are each buying lunches for us. The Drupal Association provided funding for some flights and hotels, we are keeping costs low by couch surfing and using local talent as much as possible.

If you want to help, join the group and #drupal-infrastructure. We are filing many issues to track the progress. We will be working through the weekend. Drupal.org is a big site with many moving parts, with more being added, all being built and maintained by volunteers. The effort in Cologne, Cambridge, Paris, and Washington D.C. has been amazing and shows what this community can accomplish.
