Counting down
Salsa is once again sending a large contingent to Salsa Digital, both as attendees and speakers. In total, you’ll see 11 Salsarians on the ground in Hobart. While we’ll all be there to soak up the open source and Drupal good vibes, we’ve also got some serious business on the agenda. As well as being Gold Sponsors, Salsa is giving back to the Drupal community through our 100-hour pledge and we’ve got three speakers on the schedule.
Our open source giveback pledge
As one of our DrupalSouth 2019 initiatives, we’re pledging 100 hours to the Drupal community. And it doesn’t have to be coding. In addition to Drupal coding, our 100 hours will cover content, QA, peer review, etc. So, what should we focus on? In true community style, we’re going to take it to the Drupal community, at DrupalSouth. These are our plans:
Day 1: We’ll be on a mission to get ideas from attendees — what do they want to see done? What are the burning issues?
Day 2:We’ll poll the attendees on which ideas to select, to get us a top 5
After that, we’ll give the Drupal community one month to vote on the top 5 Drupal issues they’d like us to work on.
