Organizing contribution events

A contribution event is getting people together for a set amount of time – usually one to two days – and working on some aspect of Drupal. Ideally, participants will learn from others as they go, and the goal is either to get some specific work done, mentor new contributors, or both. This section provides information on how to organize a contribution event.
