LGD DEV DAYS 2026 - DAY 2 - CONTRIBUTE

​REGISTRATION CLOSED

​Brighten up your February with our first-ever LGD Dev Days.

​Hybrid event - London and online (via Zoom).

​Day 2 - Contribution

​The LocalGov Drupal Contribution Day is an opportunity for anyone to get involved in contributing to LocalGov Drupal, whether you are an experienced Drupal developer or completely new to drupal.org

​We have some hopes for the day - for example, we’d like to get Elections and Waste Collection to stable releases, but primarily it’s about what you want to work on.

​Look at the issue queue for the day and think about what you’d like to work on (you may already know)

​We assume for code contributions

• ​You have your own computer

• ​You have some experience with Drupal

• ​You have some familiarity with git 

​How the day will run

​We’ll split into groups to work through projects and issues (mostly self-organised on the day) and use Zoom breakout rooms for those online and tables in Space 4. We’ll come together 3 times during the day to see how everyone’s getting on

​We will have experienced people on hand to help first-time contributors on the day. 

​Preparation for the day:

• ​Please join the dedicated Slack channel for the event  - #dev-days-lgd

• ​Make sure you have a drupal.org account and have set up your organisation (message on #group-technical to ask someone to verify your profile before you create your org)

• ​A local working development environment is recommended.

  • ​We recommend DDEV

• ​A fresh install of LocalGov Drupal, see https://www.drupal.org/project/localgov 

• ​Have a look at the issue queue for the day and think about what you’d like to work on. If you have a clear idea, let us know in the #dev-days-lgd channel on Slack. 

​Programme:

• ​Zoom room will be open from 9.30am for people to meet and settle in

• ​Welcome talk explaining the day at 10am

• ​Contribution time from 10.30

• ​Come back together at 12.45pm to do a quick standup to find out what’s happened

• ​1:00pm LUNCH

• ​Come back when you want

• ​Final recap at 4pm

​If you have questions about the day or anything in this email, please don’t hesitate to reach out in advance of the day on #dev-days-lgd channel on Slack.
