Here is the invitation message:
Drupal 4.7 is probably going to go into code freeze in the next several weeks=
. In order to facilitate an effective release cycle for contributed modules w=
e are conducting the first of several workshops on how to port modules to Dru=
pal 4.7.  In particular, this is important for the CivicSpace community which=
 has at least 30 contributed modules that they require to be ported to Drupal=
 4.7.

<b>When:</b> 11AM Pacific Coast Time, Coordinated Universal Time -7 hours; Da=
ylight Saving Time
<b>Where:</b> IRC irc.freenode.net, #drupal-porting
<b>Who:</b>
-Module Maintainers
-Developers who are wiling to make patches to contributed modules
-Developers who have written custom modules
-Users who are willing to install Drupal 4.7 from CVS and test upgraded modul=
es

An upgrade document has been written for porting Drupal modules from 4.6 to 4=
.7 by Karoly Negyesi.  Karoly is going to help run a workshop next Saturday a=
t 11AM Pacific Time for two hours to facilitate developers porting their modu=
les from 4.6 to 4.7.  If you are not a module maintainer but would like to as=
sist a maintainer you can port a module and submit a patch that has been peer=
 reviewed to the maintainer.  In most cases maintainers will be happy to reci=
eve a working peer reviewed patch.  If you are a maintainer and would like vo=
lunteers to port your modules for you please contact me Kieran at civicspacel=
abs dot org and I'll help to match volunteers to your modules. If you are not=
 a programmer but are willing to install Drupal 4.7 from CVS and apply patche=
s to modules then you can help validate that patches work.

If you have a custom module that is written for previous versions of Drupal n=
ow is your chance to get live Drupal developer help to get it read to move to=
 Drupal 4.7.

Documentation is available here: <a href=3D"http://drupal.org/node/22218">Por=
ting modules to Drupal 4.7</a>

The next porting workshop will be done at a different time to facilitate the =
various time zones that our developers work in.  Suggestions welcome.

The first workshop will be in <b>IRC #drupal-porting on irc.freenode.net</b>.
