Jesus Manuel Olivas & Darryl Norris attended SandCamp and DrupalCamp Florida.

Our goal is to attend as many Drupal events as we can and organize Drupal Console contribution sprints.

Contributions

During SandCamp we wrote the "config:delete" command # 1366, # 1984, which it was a very requested feature that allows you to remove a configuration. As well as improving some of the configuration and state commands. We also wrote "state:delete" # 1968, # 1985, which allow you to delete a state from your Drupal site.

During DrupalCamp Florida, we have a chance to have a sprint and teach people how to contribute, during this session we receive two Pull Requests.

MidCamp we won’t able to attend personally but Mauricio Dinarte was representing the Drupal Console team and did a great job during the sprint to improve the project Spanish translation to 98.75%, increasing by almost 12%. On the previous release Spanish translation was 87.7% completed.
