Today I spent a little time digging into the bug I reported in the Backup and Migrate module as part of my Drupal 8 blogrimage. Doing so, I started to see how modules will need to change to use the new Configuration Management system.

Today was my second day of trying to build a website on Drupal 8. It gave me a great demonstration of how volatile this release is, and what a challenge this blogrimage will be.

I'm calling a mulligan and restarting with a new challenge: I'm going to spend the rest of the 30 days rebuilding thegreenbag.com as a Drupal 8 site.
I hate to do this, because I was really hoping to make more of a contribution back to the Drupal community by participating in the #1day1patch campaign, but I'm just spending too much time finding issues I can work on, and don't have enough time left over to actually work on anything. So instead, I'm going to work on getting a production site up and running on Drupal 8.

Well, I spent some time going through various issue queues and looking at various problems, but didn't find anything that I could readily write a patch for. My chosen blogrimage challenge may turn out to be more difficult than I thought. I didn't really make any progress on the Blogrimage website, either. I have some ideas that should make the next couple of days a bit more productive.

Today was a busy day, so I flailed around a bit trying to find a patch to write for my blogrimage. I ended up working on one of my own Drupal modules, Quick Cache Cleaner, and finally rolling a 7.x-1.0 release.

Pradeepan and I selected A Small Orange to host the Blogrimage website. Pradeepan created an account last night, and the test site that I made is now running on the new hosting. The domain name has still not transferred, so you'll have to settle for screen shots until we can access the site directly, but the project is moving forward.

My day 1 patch was a quick fix to the LDAP module based on old notes from previous testing. For day 2, I really had to get back in and test the 2.x branch of the LDAP module. (I don't really plan to spend all 30 days of the blogrimage on this module, but it seems a good place to start.)

Day 1 of creating the Blogrimage website included sending Pradeepan a summarized project plan and starting the site build on my private development server. Pradeepan's vision for the site is to import feeds and other content from participating bloggers (blogrims?) to create a centralized showcase for the content being created during the Blogrimage.
We didn't plan ahead. We started communicating about this the night before the Blogrimage started, so now this will be as much a part of the Blogrimage as any other challenge.
Here's the overall plan:

Contributing patches to Drupal does not need to be a complicated process. For today's patches in my #1day1patch and #blogrimage challenge, I touched on a couple of simple typos.
