First-time Contributor Workshop
summary
Hands-on primer for becoming a Drupal contributor that shows actual steps: using drupal.org issue queues and the novice tag to find starter tasks, commenting “DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019 — working on this” to claim work, creating patches via the project’s Version Control tab and git, testing patches on simplytest.me (sandbox builds in ~2–3 minutes, admin/admin), using the DDEV/QuickSprint bundle to run a local dev site, and marking fixes reviewed and tested by the community after screenshots and notes.
