Contribution sprints: Getting involved and coming back for more.

With the upcoming Drupal 8 release attending contribution sprints is more important than ever. Contribution sprints are being hosted at Drupalcons, Drupalcamps and dedicated sprint events all over the world and the community needs you!

You are probably thinking...

1. Why would I attend a sprint?
2. I attended a sprint that one time, should I attend again?
3. How can I make a difference to such a large and complex open source project like Drupal?

This session will cover:

• The rewards of sprinting.
• Surviving your first, second, third sprint and beyond.
• My personal experiences at sprints and lessons I've learnt to get the most out of them.
• How to contribute at sprints. *Spoiler alert:* it is not all about writing patches.
• Mentoring at contribution sprints.
• Advice on running your own contribution sprint.
