The week of April 23 - April 27, the Drupal Association is sponsoring a sprint, hosted by the Oregon State University Open Source Lab, to upgrade Drupal.org from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7!
The sprint will be mainly focused on the following areas, and the following attendees will be there:
- Drupal Customizations team: Neil 'drumm' Drumm (team lead), Angie 'webchick' Byron, Dylan Tack
- Infrastructure team: Narayan 'nnewton' Newton (team lead), Lance Albertson, Rudy Grigar, David Strauss, William O'Connor (solr lead)
- Project*: Derek 'dww' Wright (team lead), Chad Phillips, Michael Prasuhn, Brandon Bergren, Jonathan Hedstrom, Karoly Negyesi, Diana Dupuis
- Git*: Sam 'sdboyer' Boyer (team lead), Marco Villegas, Michael Halstead, Howard Tyson, Melissa Anderson
- Bluecheese Theme team: Joel 'banghouse' Moore (team lead), Chris Ruppel, Lewis Nyman
- Documentation Of The Drupal.org Site team: (We would like at least one on-site volunteer to be involved with each of the above teams for purposes of documenting the processes involved and decisions made during the upgrade.)
Maintainers of other Drupal.org subsystems (e.g. sub-sites, testbot, content, IA) are encouraged to sprint along with us virtually this week in #drupal-infrastructure!
Note that unlike many sprints where all able hands are needed, this one is dedicated to work by the current maintainers of the drupal.org sub-systems, so that important groundwork can be laid quickly. For those interested in following the sprint progress, updates (hopefully daily) will be posted here. We don't yet know exactly where the broader community can help (that's one of the outcomes of the sprint we're hoping to achieve!), but as we identify and define ways, issues will be opened in the appropriate project queues and cross-referenced here.
Keep your eyes peeled on http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg/drupal7, which will be the living "roadmap" document for this initiative.
