Code sprint

Code sprint is going to be on 27th of November at Ramada Hotel in the Negotiation Room. It will start at a 10 AM and will last till a 5 PM. All day you will be developing Drupal and contributed modules. The most active participants will be awarded with prizes from our soponsors.

What is a code sprint?

A code sprint is getting developers for a set amount of time – usually one to two days – and just writing code. That's it. You’re not teaching anything. Participants will learn from others as they go, but the focus is not on instruction. The goal is to create working software. Code sprints are also sometimes called hackathons or codeathons.

There are two types of code sprints: in-person sprints, where you get everyone together in one room, and virtual sprints, where you get people together on IRC or another online resource.

In-person sprints

In person sprints are indisputably the most effective way to tackle difficult code challenges.

You have a strong meetup and you have a strong camp presence and now you want to get some work done. Or you have been coordinating among several leaders in a given area of development and it's time to get them in the same room working together.

Numbers

Sprints can have anywhere from 3 to 10 to 150 people (like we saw at Drupalcon London).
