A range of topics were covered in the first few sessions, including finding and testing bug fixes, Composer, Drush, and how to re-roll patches. +{% endblock %} + +{% block content %} +From Damien's [introductory blog post][2]: + +> Not sure what this whole "patch" thing is? Have a core change that you can't quite finish? Running into a problem with a contrib module, or a theme, or a 3rd party library, and not sure how to fix it? New to maintaining a module and unsure of what to do next? Wondering how to get your module through the security opt-in process? Is your project's issue queue getting you down? Join us every Thursday at noon EST for the Mediacurrent Contrib Half Hour where we'll be available to help solve contrib challenges. +> +> Each week we'll host a live meeting to give step-by-step guidance on some best practices for contributing to Drupal, and provide Q and A assistance for our favorite open source (OSS) content management system (CMS). The meetings will be lead by yours truly, Damien McKenna, a prolific contributor to the Drupal community, and my coworkers here at Mediacurrent. + +There is also an [updates blog post][3] that continues to show the latest information, and the video recordings are [uploaded to YouTube][0] after the session. Here is the first one from November: + +
+ +
+ +I enjoyed watching the first few videos, as I’m always interested in contribution to Drupal and open-source and how to encourage it, but then no new videos were uploaded for a while and I hoped that it hadn’t faded away. + +I’m glad to see today that it’s back and that all of the previous videos have been uploaded and added to the [YouTube playlist][0], and that [on the update post][3] there are scheduled topics for the rest of this month including documentation and automated testing. + +I do enjoy watching these, and I like both the presentation and Q&A format that they alternate between. I’ll look forward to catching up over the next few days, and to hopefully seeing them continue to be uploaded after future meetings. + +Thanks Damien and Mediacurrent! +{% endblock %} + +[0]: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu-MxhbnjI9rHroPvZO5LEUhr58Yl0j_F +[1]: https://www.mediacurrent.com/blog/introducing-mediacurrent-contrib-half-hour +[2]: https://www.mediacurrent.com/blog/introducing-mediacurrent-contrib-half-hour +[3]: https://www.mediacurrent.com/blog/updates-mediacurrent-contrib-half-hour-weekly-meeting
