Community building is more than just software, and more than just people. The nature of online communities is changing, no longer defined exclusively by bulletin boards or superblogs.
This is a group for everyone where we can discuss what it is that makes for a rich and robust community -- from the perspective of web developer, designer, evangelist, organization, member ... always with an eye on Drupal.
Join the discussion!

Read moreBest practices for building local community sites
The purpose of this thread is to discuss best practices for building local community sites.
I am building a local community site in D7. This is my first community site, so I started this thread to see if anyone has advice for a local community site newbie.
I know that this advice may vary depending on the type of community, but hopefully there are some common threads between all local community sites.
I did not make this thread too specific on purpose so this can be an open discussion related to building local community sites with Drupal 7.
Thanks,
Hector

Hello all,
Last week, I attended the 2012 MIT-Knight Civic Media Conference at the MIT Media Lab and had the opportunity to do a 5-minute "ignite talk" about the What's Up initiative that we are carrying in Wisconsin:
Built on VoIP Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal/), What's Up is a software platform designed to allow people in a small geographic community to share information, plan events and make decisions, using media that is as broadly inclusive as possible.
Read moreHow to create "Community"
This isn't really a technical question... I'm mostly kicking off a conversation....
How do you build a community with Drupal? Here are some of the ideas I am coming up with.
1) Have it easy for people to log in with their existing accounts (Facebook/Twitter etc)
1a) Fetch their icon photos from Facebook
2) Have people "follow" others with the same interests
3) Have an extensive User Profile system
4) Have a private messaging system
5) Also post to Facebook and Twitter to help piggy back off users' communities on those systems....

Read moreCommunity and Drupal forum site examples? General recomendations
Hi everyone,
Have a task to build a community site. To put simply: 50% of features will be forum, community faq with voting, the other 50% will include e-zine, maybe some kind o a shop, link directory, user rating and etc, not much social networking stuff.
I am leaning to Commons installation, but it is not exactly what I want to start with.
