Contribution Sprints
What is a sprint?
A sprint is a get-together for focused work on a project. Sprints are an important part of Drupal's growth, and are also a great opportunity to get involved, because others are on hand to help you contribute. DrupalCon Prague includes a full day of sprints on Friday, the 27. September. Come and collaborate in person with hundreds of other Drupal community members. And, folks curious about mentoring here at Drupalcon Portland or organizing their own local sprint can come to the session Stories & strategies: turning regular people into mentors of mentors.
