Sprints…?
I can just sit at
home and work
Sprints are too
far away from
me.I will slow
people down
I can’t help
with anything
Why should you
attend a sprint?Cue: Negative seagulls
The community says…
Ruben
“I love sprinting because this
is where Drupal is made.
Sprints are the heart of
Drupal. A bunch of people
with different interests
sitting together and working
on the same project, a project
they believe in.”
