# Join us!
Join us for the 3rd Drupal 10 Global Porting Day! We will be focused on porting Drupal 9 projects (modules and themes) so they are compatible with Drupal 10. This is a 48 hour global event that covers all time zones.
We are looking for:
- Organizers
- Mentors
- Promoters
- Participants (maintainers, programmers, testers, project managers)
You do *not* need experience porting projects (modules/themes) in order to contribute at this event. If you have any experience with creating or testing modules or themes, then don't hesitate to become involved :)
Join the #contribution-events Drupal Slack channel for more information.
# Come prepared
We strongly encourage all participants to come prepared to save theirs' and mentors' time on basic preparation tasks. The recommendation is to have 2 development/testing environments ready before the event starts:
- Development/testing environment with Drupal 10 (latest) installed
- Development/testing environment with Drupal 9 (latest 9.5*) installed
For non-developers and testers, we suggest using the DrupalPod cloud-based environment, which does not require installation on a local machine. For beginner developers, we suggest starting with DDEV as a local development environment. For all others, use any development environment of your choice.
# Slack channels
Not in Slack yet? Join Drupal community.
We will primarily collaborate in Slack in the #d10readiness and #contribution-events Drupal Slack channels. The #d10readiness channel will be used when working on specific projects (modules/themes) if you are stuck or need help with porting. The #contribution-events channel will be used for general questions about contribution.
# Documentation
We have documentation for this event. If you have additional documentation on porting modules and themes from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10, we welcome your contribution. Pop into the #contribution-events Slack channel and let us know.
# Tagging & social media
Please use #Drupal10PortingDay (note the case) on Twitter and other social media. A banner image can be found below.
For issue tags, use Drupal 10 porting day (note the case and it's singular) AND Drupal 10 compatibility (if not already tagged). We will tag any issues we work on during the event. Note: You can see the issues being worked on for the event on the Kanban board or by checking the issue queue for issues tagged with Drupal 10 porting day.

# Mentor information
Sign Up as a Mentor (yay!)
Prerequisites
It is assumed that you have worked on custom and/or contributed Drupal modules and/or themes before as a developer and that you understand how to use development tools including composer. It is also useful to know the Drupal issue workflow. We will have detailed documentation on the porting process, so you don't have to know all the steps. Although not mandatory, it would be helpful if you have done Drupal upgrades/porting before.
Responsibilities
-
(required) At minimum, mentors are expected to monitor the #d10readiness Slack channel for questions and requests for help during their time slots. Questions may include: what module/theme to choose, what issue and patch to use, how to update a patch/MR, how to set up a local environment, how to review, how to test, etc. It is not expected that you will know all of the answers. We will have documentation that will cover a lot of things, so you are there to guide people to the right place if possible. If you don't know the answer and it's not in the documentation, that is okay. We are trying to have multiple mentors available during each time slot so there is more help. There will also be non-mentors in the Slack channel that may end up helping with questions as well.
- (desired) Ideally, mentors would be comfortable jumping into a call via a Slack Huddle during their time slots if requested by a participant who would like help via a video call. This is not a requirement, but could be helpful.
- (optional) Process questions should happen in the #contribution-events Slack channel and can be mostly covered by Kristen Pol during waking hours, but if mentors can also keep an eye on this channel during their time slots and answer questions if they are not answered in a timely manner, that would be helpful.
