Behind every great Drupal feature is a stubborn person (not necessarily a developer) who refused to let it stay broken. Want to be that person? We’ll show you how.

In this wildly entertaining session from two seasoned Drupal core maintainers and bug fixers, you’ll be walked through the murky steps of getting your feature or bugfix into Drupal core, Drupal CMS, or prominent contrib project.

We'll cover:

- Identifying issues or features that can be fixed
- Pitching the idea to relevant stakeholders
- Assembling your team
- Doing the actual work (including what makes a MR review-worthy)
- Handling the complexities of communication (spoiler: this is often the hardest part)
- Getting it across the finish line (aka committed!)

We’ll also break down real-world case studies of contributions to Drupal core, following them from first idea to final commit, and covering the wins, the failures, and the desperate Slack messages in between.

At the end of this session, you’ll walk away with the motivation, ability, and confidence to land your very own EPIC contribution.
