Getting started with Drupal code contributions

The plan of this talk is to explain what tools are available and how to use them to create a patch for contributing to Drupal. I will start with a project where I found a bug and then explain what the problem is. Then, I will show how to navigate the issue queue to check if a bug report already exists. Later, I will explain how to work on a new patch or contribute to an existing one. The example will show how to write a test and abide by Drupal's coding standards.

 

At the end of the session, I will talk about the human aspect of contributing and how to encourage new contributors. Attendees will learn how to engage with the community and take a more active role.
