As a component of Freedom House's <a href="http://www.gozaar.org">Gozaar site</a>, the forum provides a space for Iranians and other Farsi speakers to discuss democracy, human rights, politics, and other issues affecting Iranians. In particular, Freedom House seeks to improve the usability of the forum and the quality of the Farsi language tools. </p> <p><b>Project Objectives:</b></p> <p>The project aims to select, customize, and implement a third‐party forum tool that will meet the following criteria:</p> <ol type="1" start="1"> <li> Farsi language support: The tool should include a Persian language option, that will completely translate the tool in to correct and compelling Persian, including changing the direction and alignment of the page to accommodate a left‐to‐right language. </li> <li> Customization of look and feel: The forum should include customization of templates and other look‐and‐feel components to closely match the look, feel, and color scheme of the primary Gozaar website. </li> <li> Compelling user interface: The user interface for the forum should be user‐friendly. This would include a clear layout that emphasizes the most common user actions (such as posting comments or registering), image‐based buttons, and the ability to sort threads into broader categories.</li> <li> English language support: The forum should allow users to write either using Farsi characters or English language characters. </li> <li> WYSIWYG posting tool: The forum should include a true What‐You‐See‐Is‐What‐You‐Get tool for posting comments. This tool should include the ability to change the alignment of the text, and if possible, change the direction of the text, to allow users to change the default direction if they are writing using the English alphabet.</li> <li> Adequate spam prevention: The forum should have adequate spam prevention tools, such as challenge‐response tests for unregistered users. The spam prevention tools should be tailored to Farsi users, including proper directionality and ability to complete them without using English‐language keyboards. </li> <li> Anonymous posting: Users should be able to post anonymously. The forum tool should not require a valid e‐mail address for registration, and should allow users to post without registering.</li> <li> Administrator tools: The forum should have administrator tools that will allow Freedom House staff to moderate posts, ban users and IP addresses, and create new topics for posts.</li> </ol> <p><b>Proposals:</b></p> <p>Vendor proposals should be sent electronically in OpenDocument, Microsoft Word, or PDF format by 18:00 EST Thursday, July 3rd, 2008, and must include the following sections:</p> <ol type="1" start="1"> <li> Company mission, history, services, and people </li> <li> Website forum and user interface design experience</li> <li> Proposed project team and approach</li> <li> Timeline (including milestones) and estimated cost for delivering</li> <li> Two client references</li> </ol> <p><b>Assessment criteria:</b></p> <p>Each proposal will be assessed, at a minimum, according to the following criteria:</p> <ul type="circle"> <li> Completeness (as per the "Proposals" section above)</li> <li>Qualifications, past experience, and suitability of proposed staff</li> <li>Demonstration of understanding in terms of what needs to be done and proposed approach for doing it</li> <li> Value for money (selection of the successful candidate may not necessarily be the lowest priced bid for work)</li> </ul> <p><b>Vendor Selection:</b></p> <p>Freedom House will make a final vendor selection for this work by 18:00 EST on Friday, July 11th, 2008.</p> <p><b>Questions:</b></p> <ul type="circle"> <li>Questions regarding this document should be sent to <a href="mailto:akbari@freedomhouse.org">akbari@freedomhouse.org</a>. </li> </ul> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> Washington, DC Drupalers Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:43:05 +0000 freedom4internet 12512 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12503 <p>An old client of mine, <a href="http://www.villagecommons.org/">Village Commons Community Center (VCCC)</a>, in Gambrills, MD is looking for some freelance help on the site. They are a small local organization that rents out community space for events. It was one of the first Drupal sites I ever built and is still on 4.7. They are looking for someone to do an upgrade as well as do some functional tweaks to the site. Ideally, they can develop a relationship with someone so as they need things in the future they will have a reliable person who knows the site to step in. The would prefer someone who is in the DC/Baltimore area but they are definitely willing to work with folks that work remotely too.</p> <p>The meat of the site is running off Events, Actions and Workflow modules along with a custom reservation module. It was the second module I ever wrote and, especially with an upgrade, chances are it will just need to be rewritten altogether. It was a long time ago so I'm fuzzy on the details but it may even be possible to largely replace it with CCK.</p> <p>If interested, please contact me through my <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/user/1607/contact">g.d.o contact form</a> and I'll get you in touch with them.

We'll be meeting at the upstairs bar - when you enter the bar, walk right up those steps and you'll see us.</p> <p>As usual, we'll kick off the meetup with a round of 5-minute lightening round talks. This is a chance to share an interesting project or new module development that you've been working on. Specific examples of how Drupal worked well for a specific client need are strongly encouraged. We like to keep these short and sweet so speakers will be timed and cut off at 5 minutes, but there will be plenty of time afterwards to catch up with interested people and talk in more detail after the presentations.</p> <p>So far, a few people have volunteered to present. If you'd like, please post your topic here or speak up at the meetup tonight.</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="http://developmentseed.org/team/young-hahn">Young</a> will talk about what he did on the recently relaunched World Resources Institute website with the context module.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="http://www.developmentseed.org/team/alex-barth">Alex</a> will talk about his work with installer profiles.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Please speak up if you have something to share.</p> <p>Tonight's meetup will be at</p> <p>Stetson's<br /> 1610 U Street, NW<br /> Four blocks from U Street metro stop<br /> Short walk from Dupont Circle<br /> Internet available</p> <p>Hope to see you tonight!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12473#comments Washington, DC Drupalers Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:18:29 +0000 bonniebogle 12473 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12417 <p>Beer is in the fridge.

And we have been contemplating about how this ChinaOpen can be of direct service to the Drupal community ever since. </p> <p>Our latest epiphany/idea is to solicit ideas/projects to build web-sites for the non-profit community -- this summer -- in order to “graduate” the ChinaOpen participants into the DROP/SoC program, (say) next summer and give back to a few deserving organizations that need to get the word out but don't have the budget or resources. We imagine some participants may even be able to directly contribute to writing Drupal modules after this. </p> <p>We could obviously open to For-Profit (kind of like the old “dotcom”) style web-sites/ideas, but we figure this would open the flood-gate too much. </p> <p>What do you think? </p> <p>Ideas, suggestions, critics, helping out? </p> <p>Finally, we are trying to decide, whether this ChinaOpen should be pursued forward this summer, since logistically speaking, we are rapidly approaching the absolute deadline time to get the words out, and arrange all the logistic issues as May will be here in 2-weeks -- which is our other way to ask, for those of you who have participated either DROP or SoC before:<br /> -- What kind of general rule-of-thumb in terms of operational-support that we should estimate?<br /> -- For example, for each student, how much "mentoring" and backoffice support that we would need to factor? </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/soc-2008">SoC 2008</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10770#comments china Adobe Technologies Bei Jing (China) Northern VA Users Group Shanghai Washington, DC Drupalers Drupal Dojo DROP SoC 2008 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:50:06 +0000 john.zhu 10770 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10543 <p>This coming Monday on April 14th we'll hold the next Washington, DC Drupal Meetup at <a href="http://www.jameshobansdc.com/">James Hoban's</a> on Dupont Circle.</p> <p>Last month we had a great conversation here about how we can make these meetups most productive for everyone. A few of us have put our heads together and came up with the idea of having two meetups a month with different focuses.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Drupal Meetups - These will take place in a bar and center mostly on networking and connecting people. We'll have the standard lightening talks but will be focused on discussing real world solutions to user problems and Drupal news. We want to keep these talks accessible for Drupal users and people exploring Drupal, so detailed tech talk can happen one on one after the talks.</p> </li> <li> <p>Drupal Labs - This is your change to dig into the meat of code, show off the latest module you wrote, and pose questions to a technical audience for some hands on help. The lab is tailored to people with Drupal experience, or who want to dive right in and learn.</p> </li> </ul> <p>We hope that by better targeting the events like this, people will be able to really get the most out of them. This is very much a work in progress so please post your suggestions, comments, and feedback so we can fine tune these.</p> <p>Back to the meetup... We'll be getting together on Monday, April 14 at James Hoban's (new Irish bar) on Dupont Circle at 7:00 pm.</p> <p>We'll kick off the meetup with a round of 5-minute lightening talks focusing on real world solutions that have been built with Drupal. We all know Drupal does amazing things, so let's look at some of the tailored tools we've built to help our clients out. Here's what we've got lined up so far:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Connecting a geographically dispersed microfinance network with an online portal</p> </li> <li> <p>Publishing content in right to left languages like Arabic and Hebrew</p> </li> <li> <p>Demo of the online community MothersClick and their new community API / Facebook-esque features (to be confirmed)</p> </li> </ul> <p>Have something show off?

Our URL is <a href="http://www.nomadsland.com" title="www.nomadsland.com">www.nomadsland.com</a>.</p> <p>We have been working for six months on our Beta design site to be assembled in Drupal 5.x using Amazon S3 for video content delivery of h264 progressive download files.</p> <p>This project is very cutting edge as we will be combining offline social networking with HD video delivery.</p> <p>Please take a careful look at our site and then contact us and please compose your response carefully. Based on this response we will send you our official detailed RFP document.</p> <p>Only serious talented developers need apply. We've budgeted between $7,500 and $15,000 for the full design and build.</p> <p>=====</p> <p>OVERALL OBJECTIVE:<br /> NomadsLand is a website that facilitates online downloads and streaming of international social issue films which encourage international social issue dialogue. Some say we are where advocacy meets arthouse. We aspire to be something like an online documentary film festival and alternative documentary outlet. (Manifesto: <a href="http://nomadsland.com/content/view/56/138/" title="http://nomadsland.com/content/view/56/138/">http://nomadsland.com/content/view/56/138/</a>) Our main focus is distributing feature length documentaries which have made it into prominent film festivals over the past 10 years. The new site will also create online &amp; offline geographic-based social groups for film screenings and campaigns for engagement a la Meetup.com. (Reference: <a href="http://movies.meetup.com/432" title="http://movies.meetup.com/432">http://movies.meetup.com/432</a>)</p> <p>One of NomadsLand’s chief functions is to make available films found in reputable international documentary film festivals, which are hardly ever seen by the general public. We are well connected in the international documentary community. Several thousand international social issue documentary films exist and are just sitting on shelves. We want to make them available through VOD and group screenings. Most of these films have never gotten significant distribution and are unavailable on most commercial services (Amazon Unbox, iTunes, etc.) because these platforms are generally closed to independent filmmakers whose work isn’t overly commercial.</p> <p>Another chief goal is to provide new revenue streams for struggling independent filmmakers, online video creators, filmmakers and video journalists through a more efficient system of film distribution.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> Drupal events film offline social networking video Washington, DC Drupalers Mon, 07 Apr 2008 04:19:34 +0000 Davin Hutchins@groups.drupal.org 10524 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10511 <p>Project Manager<br /> Full time NYC Technical project manager.<br /> Experience managing offshore, India based resources.<br /> Experienced in Content Management implementations.<br /> Portal implementations<br /> Drupal open source technology<br /> OpenAds – ad server technology or other as server technology<br /> PHP development<br /> Agile development methodologies<br /> Very good verbal and written skills<br /> Consulting experience</p> <p>Developer<br /> Experience in Drupal and PHP development.<br /> Person have minimum 5 years experience as a developer.<br /> PHP development experience a must<br /> MySQL experience needed.<br /> Experience working designing templates in PHP.<br /> Any prior experience in User Interface design a big plus; Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, Javascript.<br /> Consulting experience a plus, not entirely necessary.<br /> Good written and spoken communication skills.</p> <p>Please call or email:<br /> Karen Goldin<br /> Senior Resource Executive<br /> Alliance Consulting<br /> <a href="http://www.alliance-consulting.com" title="www.alliance-consulting.com">www.alliance-consulting.com</a></p> <p>813-949-4175 Direct<br /> <a href="mailto:kgoldin@alliance-consulting.com">kgoldin@alliance-consulting.com</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> Boston New York City Philadelphia Area Washington, DC Drupalers Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:03:19 +0000 Kareng 10511 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10443 <p>On July 15th &amp; 16th, the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine will host the Higher Education Web Symposium.</p> <p>This two-day conference will provide tools, tips and techniques for web designers, developers, programmers, and project managers to help us all create better and more usable applications and websites.

There are some preparation time constraints that at this point are leading her group to do consider completely replicating the scenario that was done at UMN, and it would be nice if some of the other admin test cases and tasks were fleshed out a bit more so that some new ground could be explored and to streamline the process a bit better.</p> <p>There was talk at the UMN Usability session at Drupalcon that it would have been beneficial to set up the users with an initial "easy win" task that boosted their confidence -- like setting up an "About Us" page with a primary navigation link at the top. Webchick also pointed out that there were a number of task ideas that were discussed on this <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/7929">wiki page</a> that were not executed, and that are still listed there with strikeout markup.</p> <p>The intention of this wiki page is to flesh out some potential admin-related user scenarios that could be used now with this potential opportunity at the University of Baltimore. It could also serve as a general brainstorming place to flesh out other usability scenarios to be tested with other usability lab time as it becomes available.</p> <p>Webchick mentioned that a big thing for them in creating the scenarios is that they wanted to make sure to avoid any "key words" that would help people clue in on what menu item to press. So instead of saying "Add a piece of workshop content", they say "Create a form for people to create workshops." So the tasks that we would normally describe in "Drupal" terms, need to be expressed in "human" terms since describing the tasks with the proper terminology would just become a game of keyword searching.</p> <p><a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/10292#comment-33175">catch suggested</a> the following things that weren't covered at UMN but might be interesting:<br /> * menu module - both within node/add and the admin interface - there's a task for this but no-one got to it :)<br /> * book module, taxonomy and forums (drag and drop, hierarchy, stuff like that).<br /> * content administration - front page, sticky, published/unpublished/mass-updating</p> <p>So if people here could help flesh out some specific tasks and ideal paths in the same format as listed <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/7929">here</a> under the Site Maintainer Scenario &amp; Tasks headings, then that would help out a lot</p> <h2>Site Maintainer Scenario</h2> <h3>Tasks</h3> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> Usability Washington, DC Drupalers Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:18:59 +0000 kentbye 10330 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10319 <p>Graphic Designer with strong CSS experience</p> <p>Join us and be part of an award-winning team.</p> <p>We're looking for a designer with strong design skills and previous experience taking site theme/css/feel from start to finish.

Since the feedback from the February meetup has been very positive, I was thinking that we could get together for a similar event on Wednesday, March 26th from 7-9pm at <a href='http://affinitylab.com/'>Affinity Lab</a> in Adams Morgan.</p> <p><img src='http://www.nucleationsites.com/drupal_march_meetup.jpg' /></p> <p>We will likely continue in the standard format with a series of 5-minute "lightning" presentations by anyone who has something to show off to the group, and give time for the group to ask questions and interact with each other. A projector and wi-fi will be provided so you can easily use your laptop to access things online and show them to the group.</p> <p>We are planning on starting at 7pm (and ending around 9pm), which should give everyone a chance to arrive from work. The address is 2451 18th St NW, and the entrance is to the right of The Diner. Push the buzzer for Affinity Lab when you arrive.</p> <p>The nearest metro to Adams Morgan is the Woodley Park stop on the Red line, however keep in mind there is a 10-15 minute walk from there to the lab. There is also a bunch of buses that can drop you off right at 18th and Columbia from places like Metro Center, Dupont Circle, and the Ust Corridor, so check the Metro bus map before heading out.</p> <p>Since the lab is not a restaurant or bar, we will be purchasing drinks and snacks ahead of time, which seemed to work well last time around. For this meetup I am thinking of getting it catered by <a href='http://www.javagreen.net/'>Java Green</a>, which deliciously provided food for another event that I recently attended.</p> <p>We are again looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of food and drink. Please <a href='http://www.mikemccaffrey.net/contact'>contact me</a> if you or your organization are willing to chip in and support the meetup.</p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!</p> <p>Mike</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/9453#comments Washington, DC Drupalers Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:14:32 +0000 mikemccaffrey 9453 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/9429 <p>The National Democratic Institute is looking for a creative and flexible programmer to <a href="http://www.iknowpolitcs.org">build</a> <a href="http://mobileactive.org/texting-it-in">cool</a> <a href="http://www.aswat.com">tools</a> that help our partners around the world create more transparent, accountable and democratic governance.
