Dear all,

This is a formal announcement of Drupal Sprint India event happening
on October 30-31 2009. An event for those who love Drupal, geeks and
non-geeks alike.

Announcing Drupal Sprint India, a gathering of Drupal enthusiast from
all over India, to contribute to Drupal development.

The event is organized by Pune Linux Users Group with the support of
Bhaskaracharya Pratishthan as Venue Sponsors.

Drupal is probably the best community driven CMS in open source.
Community driven softwares need community contributions for regular
enhancements and this is your chance to contribute and gain karma.
Drupal sprint India is a two day non-stop event where Drupal
developers, documentation and translation guys will get together to
enhance Drupal. We will have code sprints, documentation sprints as
well as translation sprints.

Join coding sprints to fix patches for upcoming Drupal 7 release or to
port modules from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 or to develop new modules from
scratch.

Join Documentation sprint to document Drupal. Documentation sprint
will be headed by Addison Berry, Drupal documentation project lead.

Those interested in localization can join the party to translate
Drupal to local languages.

You need not have *any experience* with enhancing Drupal before hand,
even newbies are invited.

That is not all, we have more in store for you.

Got any Drupal success story to share or you have put Drupal to any
innovative use or any magnificent case study where you have integrated
Drupal with third party web services or web sites? This is the time to
showcase this. Parallel to sprint, we will hold talks and workshops to
showcase the capabilities of Drupal beyond CMS to build website. If
you have a story to showcase, register for the event right ahead.

Talks/Workshop registration ends October 15 2009. All talks and
registrations submitted will go through a community voting and top 10
talks plus workshops will be chosen for the event. We plan to hold
total of 8 hours of talks and 8 hours of workshops around Drupal over
two days.

Still interested in Drupal to use it in your next big venture... Just
drop in and learn from the best Drupal brains around the country on
how to put Drupal to best use.

So click   http://drupalindia2009.plug.org.in   now and register for the
event.
The event is free, registration is free.  All you have to make sure
that your code is also FREE.

So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar for the event dates!!
