Calling all coders, designers, and housing professionals! Shelter Scotland needs you to help us solve Scotland’s housing crisis. We’re getting together on the 29th of July for a weekend of brainstorming and collaboration to devise digital solutions that help address the real world problems for people facing homelessness and bad housing.

375,000 households now call the private rented sector their home and understanding their rights and responsibilities is becoming increasingly difficult. With the imminent introduction of a new private rented sector bill, landlords and tenants will need to comply with a range of new responsibilities when renting a property.

There are 595,000 households living in social properties and we’re seeing more and more people being digitally excluded. This poses a real risk with the planned roll out of Universal credit and more and more services and welfare resources being moved online.

First time buyers are finding it increasingly difficult to access assistance to start their journey towards homeownership.

We’re finding it harder and harder to reach those ‘hidden homeless’ – who don’t have a home of their own but rely on support from friends and family members.

Drupal Sprints enable anyone working with Drupal to improve the quality of the software at the centre of our community. By participating you will learn from your peers, and raise the skill levels of everyone who collaborates with you.

For the London Drupal Sprint you’re welcome to join us on the Saturday, the Sunday, or both days, for face to face collaboration on Drupal core, contrib modules, and improving handbook documentation.

Our special focus this sprint will be on Drupal Console, the new CLI for Drupal 8.

If you’re new to Drupal, or to contributing, we run a Drupal Ladder session to get you up to speed. If you’re already a contributor you’ll enjoy collaborating with our other experienced contributors.

Free tickets HERE.
