Drupal.org team week notes #11

We all have been waiting for this.. Drupal.org upgrade project is entering QA stage! Over 190 people already signed up to be A/B testers. Announcement has been updated with further instructions, make sure to check it.

In other upgrade news - the Bluecheese team got more volunteers now with new people joining last week and team's issue queue is active again!

The Project team had a lot of progress in the past 2 weeks and fixed issues like:

Drupal 6

Drupal.org team week notes #10

Last week we finished migrating companies from the old Drupal services book to the new Marketplace. We are already reviewing requests to be listed in the new section. If you want to get your company listed, please follow marketplace guidelines. We still have quite a lot of open requests, so please be patient while our volunteers are going through them. Or better.. help us make it faster by reviewing some of the requests! Find out how you can help.

Drupal.org team week notes #9

We are finally back after Drupalcon and "after-Drupalcon week" with a short week notes post.

DrupalCon..

was amazing! We've had several BOF sessions, met lots of community members and had lots of productive discussions. Drupal.org office hours BOF resulted in a "Drupal 8 call to action" block on the drupal.org front page (thanks woeldiche). Notes from other BOFs will be published as updates to their relevant issues or groups on groups.drupal.org.

Marketplace

Drupal.org team week notes #8

Busy times at the Drupal.org development land! During past weeks we've launched new events page on groups.drupal.org, with the help of lisarex and primerg.

Case studies sprint on IRC happened last week. For a couple of hours we worked on migrating old case studies to the new section and a lot got done. We would like to thank Terry Hughes, Lisa Rex from Acquia, Elizabeth and Haylie from New Target, Ray Saltini from Blink reaction for joining us for the sprint. We are planning to have more of such sprints in future, so keep an eye on announcements.

We also worked on various other things listed on our working page.

Drupal 7 upgrade

Drupal.org team week notes #7

Last week the COD team finished their summer marathon and launched five DrupalCon websites on the latest version of COD for Drupal 7. Find more details in this blog post by Jacob Redding. We'd like to say thank you to everyone who helped us make that happen.

During the past weeks it seems we've reached a consensus on the guidelines for the Marketplace and are going to move forward with the code implementation in the next few weeks.

The case studies section still needs more content and on Saturday, August 11, we are planning an IRC sprint for case study migration. Everyone is welcome to join and help us migrate some case studies! More information will follow soon.

Drupal 7 upgrade

Drupal.org team week notes #6

For the past few months, we have been holding "Drupal.org Office Hours" on IRC. Each Monday anyone interested in contributing to Drupal.org development had a chance to talk to the team, get support and advice, generally see what we are working on. Lately we noticed that less and less people attend office hours. We would like to know what is the reason and how can we make office hours more efficient. Please fill out this short survey to let us know how we can improve!

Now to the updates.

Thanks to the fast feedback from mikeker, maintainer of the Better Exposed Filters module, new Events page for groups.drupal.org is very close to deployment.

Drupal.org team week notes #5

Another 2 weeks passed and we have some updates.

Tezza is doing great job reviewing case studies together with lisarex and kwseldman. We are slowly adding more of them to the Featured section. There is always a room for more reviewers - take a look at the wiki if you'd like to help.

The new events page for groups.drupal.org is basically ready. Few things are stopping it from being deployed. One of them - Better exposed filters module, which we need to install on groups.drupal.org, more accurately - this patch for Better exposed filters needs some testing.

Drupal.org team week notes #4

The past 2 weeks have been pretty active and we have some awesome developments to share today.

First, a new slideshow has been added to the Case studies section thanks to bmaheshs and Kapil Juneja from Tekriti Software. This section is now fully ready to showcase the best sites built with Drupal. If you have an impressive site to share, follow the guidelines and publish your own case study.

Drupal.org team week notes #3

Earlier this year we asked you to vote on improvements to Drupal.org that you would like to see happen. Request for a better showcase of Drupal websites was in the top 5 by the results of the voting. This week we are happy to announce a revamped Case studies section. This section is a space for members of our community to share what they have been working on and get some feedback. At the same time we hope that it will be helpful for people evaluating Drupal as possible solution by providing real-life examples of awesome sites built with Drupal, technical details of their implementation and details of project management process. Thank you to lisarex, larowlan, drumm and all other community members that made this possible!

Drupal.org team week notes #2

During past 2 weeks we had slow progress on all fronts, with the biggest impediment - resource constraints (as in too few people to do too many things).

We are very close to deployment of updates to Case studies section on drupal.org. This will be the first step of redesign of that section. In future we are planning to add slideshow (bmaheshs and the team at Tekriti Software are working on this right now) and various other enhancements.
