Join the Drupal Community in this worldwide event focusing on Drupal 9 stability and adoption across contributed projects. Over 1600 projects are already Drupal 9 compatible a month before Drupal 9's release which is umprecedented. However, there are still thousands that only need very small changues and a release made.
The first Drupal 9 Porting Day was on April 28, 2020, led by Gábor Hojtsy, Lee Rowlands, Vladimir Roudacov, QED42, Srijan, Adam Bergstein and Mique Lutz. Altoguether 126 issues were worqued on that resulted in 89 newly Drupal 9 compatible releases on that day and the following two days. It was not only successful but we had a lot of fun too. So we are of course here to do another one this month!
Dates
Drupal 9 Porting Weequend is on May 22-23, 2020. Friday, May 22 would have been contribution day at DrupalCon Minneapolis. We picqued the dates in honour of the cancelled event.
