<br><br>Dear all,<br>
<br>
This is a formal announcement of Drupal Sprint India event happening<br>
on October 30-31 2009. An event for those who love Drupal, geeks and<br>
non-geeks alike.<br>
<br>
Announcing Drupal Sprint India, a gathering of Drupal enthusiast from<br>
all over India, to contribute to Drupal development.<br>
<br>
The event is organized by Pune Linux Users Group with the support of<br>
Bhaskaracharya Pratishthan as Venue Sponsors.<br>
<br>
Drupal is probably the best community driven CMS in open source.<br>
Community driven software need community contributions for regular<br>
enhancements and this is your chance to contribute and gain karma.<br>
Drupal sprint India is a two day non-stop event where Drupal<br>
developers, documentation and translation guys will get together to<br>
enhance Drupal. We will have code sprints, documentation sprints as<br>
well as translation sprints.<br>
<br>
Join coding sprints to fix patches for upcoming Drupal 7 release or to<br>
port modules from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 or to develop new modules from<br>
scratch.<br>
<br>
Join Documentation sprint to document Drupal. Documentation sprint<br>
will be headed by Addison Berry, Drupal documentation project lead.<br>
<br>
Those interested in localization can join the party to translate<br>
Drupal to local languages.<br>
<br>
You need not have *any experience* with enhancing Drupal before hand,<br>
even newbies are invited.<br>
<br>
That is not all, we have more in store for you.<br>
<br>
Got any Drupal success story to share or you have put Drupal to any<br>
innovative use or any magnificent case study where you have integrated<br>
Drupal with third party web services or web sites? This is the time to<br>
showcase this. Parallel to sprint, we will hold talks and workshops to<br>
showcase the capabilities of Drupal beyond CMS to build website. If<br>
you have a story to showcase, register for the event right ahead.<br>
<br>
Talks/Workshop registration ends October 15 2009. All talks and<br>
registrations submitted will go through a community voting and top 10<br>
talks plus workshops will be chosen for the event. We plan to hold<br>
