One of the highlights of Florida DrupalCamp is the Coding for a Cause Event where over 30 Drupal developers give back to the community. This year three lucky nonprofits will get a new website. Ben and Ryan will give you the backstory and play-by-play game film on how this all comes together. This talk is “must ” for those planning to contribute or spectate at Sunday’s Coding for a Cause event.

How to contribute to Drupal (from non-coders to experts)

dvandemark — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:23:05 +0000

There are plenty of ways to contribute back to the Drupal community, even if you can't code or are just starting. We'll be covering:

Queue farming - a great way to start understanding what's going on in a specific area
Documentation - simply install a module and read the docs. Something you don't understand? Document it for everyone else!
The Boston Initiative which lays out a roadmap to helping out by coding
