I can just sit at
home and work
Sprints are too
far away from
me.I will slow

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.”
