Events/2012/WebSprint2012

Introduction

A "sprint" is an event where people come together to work intensely on a particular project. FSFE's Web Sprint 2012 will focus on improving FSFE's web sites and services for one weekend in Manchester, with several meals and social events in which to relax and / or share ideas, and generally get immersed in Free Software.

Features will be added, websites will be beautified, bugs will be fixed, snacks will be eaten and subjects will be debated. Fun shall also most definitely be had.

The last FSFE Web Sprint took place in Berlin, and resulted in the launch of a site-wide design for fsfe.org. This year we have different priorities.

Hacking: At 11.00, we'll introduce the main tasks we want to work on, and see which of these people want to take on.

At 11.30 there'll be a little workshop on how to set up your local machine to hack on the website. Afterwards we'll explain a bit of XSLT magic and how we use it on fsfe.org for different purposes: shared content, translation, etc.
