Problem/Motivation

It has been raised the lack of info about Drupal Global Contribution Weekend (DGCW). Currently the only source of details are the single years pages, where the description of the event is 3 lines (see 2019 page), template is not really attractive and most of the information are redundant as being pretty much the same every year.

Proposed resolution

  • Create a DGCW landing page in the Documentation space
  • Describing what the event is in more/better details (see initial suggestion here)
  • Better links to page sections (Resources, Past Events, etc.), either by creating their own sub-pages OR creating a Index section with contextual links (anchors) to better navigate through the page
  • Have a template artwork people can share and use (i.e see 2018 page)

Fixing a typo on IS.

Currently working on the initial suggestion google doc -

  • structurally differentiating between yearly event template and global information
  • marking "sprint" terminology for next steps

Feel free to add suggestions.

I am currently working with a number of groups to create "Community Group Sections". I'm hoping one or two of these will be published in the next day or two.

I wonder if Global Contribution Weekend is indeed a "community group" and, therefore, should have a section of their own, describing who "organises" it, how, what happens and how to get involved. The group would be able to add as many pages as they like, much like a documentation section, along with their own blog.

Any thoughts?

This is what we have so far: https://groups.drupal.org/node/534740
Please review :-)

I noticed that it would be useful to have a new re-usable single-event page as well which is why I created a page for 2020 (work in progress: https://groups.drupal.org/node/534741).

Wasn't sure about "Create a DGCW landing page in the Documentation space". The landing page and the respective event pages should be closely connected. If the landing page should really better be moved to d.o some relative links must be adjusted.

Note to self: create issues to replace "sprint" occurrences in several places (marked in the google doc).

edit:
Sorry Rachel, had the editor open for a while and missed your post. Will take your ideas into account.

This looks great!

I think @aaron, @Bojhan, or @nedjo (the sprints group organizers) need to be contacted so that a link to it can be placed in the group description section, otherwise the page is going to quickly get lost.

I'm starting to think that making Global Contribution Weekend a "community group" is a good idea, especially when events move to D.O. The new page has four distinct sections (about DGCW, hosting, participating, and archive) which might be better as different pages. We'll need two or three people to curate the pages, D.O. project for issues, blog(?), etc.

I agree with making Global Contribution Weekend a "community group". We can probably discuss - and maybe action - next steps in Amsterdam?

Adding to the issue summary the task Decide if DGCW should have its own "community group" and - if yes - create pages and content (documents in this issue are a good source of content)
