Organization Name
Drupal

Description
Drupal is a web content management system and web application framework written in PHP. It is also a vibrant, growing, and fun community of programmers, activists and communicators. The core Drupal software is a framework to power community driven web site software, and includes features such as internationalization, tagging, and an extensive roles and permissions system. The highly extensible architecture supports well over a thousand sub-projects in the form of contributed modules and themes, so there's something for everyone.

Why has your org chosen to participate in Google Code-in?
GSoC and Code-in have resulted in attracting and retaining some of our most dedicated contributors, and we aim to repeat these successes yet another time. During Code-in, some of our participants blew us away by finishing tasks we thought would last about a week in just a few hours, producing work beyond what was expected, and taking on tasks of great complexity. The legacy of Code-in, in the form of improvements to our project and participants who remain active in the Drupal community today, has made a huge difference to Drupal, and we'd love to participate again.

Please list the years your organization has participated in Google Summer of Code.
Drupal participated in Google Summer of Code in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

What is the main IRC channel for your organization?
