Next year the Drupal project will be 20 years old. As one of the oldest open source project with a continuous and vibrant community, much of Drupal.org's contribution tools actually predated the existence GitHub. For the last several years, the Drupal Association engineering team has been working on updating and modernizing these developer tools, migrating all of Drupal.org's more than 35,000 repositories to a GitLab instance, and creating an integration between Drupal.org issues and GitLab merge requests.

In this talk, we'll chat about how to use these new contribution tools, talk about the scope of the effort to make this migration happen, and talk about the future of contribution to the Drupal project. If you've always thought about contributing back to Drupal, but haven't yet made the leap, this will be a great opportunity to get started.
