Drupal contribution event in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is part of Drupal Global Contribution Weekend 2023.

Join on - Google Meet

Everyone is welcome; if you have built a site in Drupal, you can contribute. We will split into groups and work on:

• Drupal core issues
• Translations

Local contribution events world-wide will be held during from Saturday January 28 to Sunday 29, 2023. Listed alphabetically by continent, country, locality (state, province, city; where applicable).

For general information about the event format, please visit the landing page Drupal Global Contribution Weekend.

Another core security release coming in only two days. Be sure to update both your Drupal 7 & 8 sites. https://www.drupal.org/psa-2018-003

If you haven't head this somewhere in the Drupalverse, a very important security update release for both Drupal 7 and 8 is coming on March 28, 2018. Make sure to set aside some time to update your sites!

Our group needs at least two more organizers!

Plans are underway for this group to become more active and hence, a need for some of our members here to step up and volunteer as organizers.

I must admit that this group has not been active since it's creation and I would like to encourage all members to get things started.Please feel free to share with anyone interested to join and let's work together to make this a vibrant community!

During this event Ousmane Samba, https://www.drupal.org/u/ousmaneo, one of the top Senior front-end engineers at Gebeya will demonstrate how to build an online e-commerce platform using Drupal-7 (with commerce module) as back-end and AngularJS as front-end.

Finally November 19th, Drupal 8 will be released. It is going to be a great release that will set a new standard for CMSs.

So, all over the world the Drupal community is organising Drupal 8 Release Parties.

Is there already one in your country? If not? Why not get together with a few likeminded Drupal people and talk Drupal 8, no matter where you are.

If you do organise something, there are some instructions that can help you make your party more visible in this group:
https://groups.drupal.org/drupal-8-release-parties

We all know Drupal 7 will be released shortly.
D7 Release Parties are being thrown all over the world in celebration - most taking place Jan 7, 2011.

I know for a fact the African Drupal Community is much larger and more active than most people realize, so why not take this opportunity to show the world where all the African Drupal communities are hiding?

Hi all! I just wanted to inform all of your that the translation for Drupal into Amharic is under way. We have a lot of work ahead of us and it would so nice to see all of you (Amharic speakers I mean) to contribute.

You can see our status here, http://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/am, you can join the project and suggest some translations. Hopefully we would have a wiki on how to do that right at the Ethiopian groups by the end of this week.

Why an Ethiopian group? Because we need each other! We need to work together, we need to do things our way! That is what came to my mind when I wanted to start this group. This group is all about working together and sharing! If anyone has a project to work on whether free or paid, we could pitch in together and do a decent job.
