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

You are probably thinking...

Why would I attend a sprint?
I attended a sprint that one time, should I attend again?
How can I make a difference to such a large and complex open source project like Drupal?
This session will cover:

What are sprints? Where are they? What's the point of them?
How to find a sprint and hosting your own.
What you can work on at sprints.
My experiences at getting started with sprints.
Tips on how to survive your first, second, third sprint at beyond.
Becoming a mentor.
