Projects Needing Volunteer Developers

International Non-profit Association (GBN, Glocal Business Network) seeks Drupal programmer/webmaster

About the job
• website development with Drupal (see http://mygbn.org and http://gbnonline.org to see what’s already done) and the job of a webmaster
• as we are non-profit, it’s not about the money, but as sponsors arrive, you will be paid for your job (in practice it means that presumably your job will be paid only some months after the system’s official launch)
• only committed and motivated people are welcome, with a long-term orientation (similar to our attitude)
• you should form a team, so you could divide up all the work to make it easier
• official start of mygbn.org: it depends on our negotiation (we would like to launch our system in 2009)

There are many great Drupal learning resources, groups, and tools but they can be somewhat disconnected and spread out. Our goal is to unify and bring these efforts together to provide a complimentary program and platform that serves all Drupal learning initiatives needs and efforts.

Drupal Kata
The Drupal Kata is a new project learning program that provides hands on training in a wide range of areas ranging from site planning, drafting proposals, project management, information architecture, development, design, infrastructure, to business and community. It does this by pairing apprentices with a mentor or mentors, thus gaining exposure to real-world scenarios and connections with the local and global community. The knowledge transfer allows apprentices to become proficient, contribute back to the community, and retain the skills for gainful employment in the field of their choice.

Drupal Dojo
The evolutionary stages of the program seeks to follow through with the Drupal Dojo 2.0 vision by building off complimentary sites and collaborating with existing teams. A collaboration with the Open Media Project will provide a unique opportunity to craft a custom program to provide development help, training, and documentation and marketing on a regional level.

Our Buddhist Monastery needs help moving a Drupal 5-12 site to Drupal 6-10. Have already attempted one move and it has failed due to the installation of i18n translation module (really hard to uninstall!) It might be the only way to help would be to help us extract all content from mySQL so we can import it into a new site. Hope not! :)

Secondarily, we could use help writing new template for site. Design exists, but need someone with PHP and CSS skills to implement. There is also the opportunity to help with other aspects of work within Palyul.org domain.

I previously was working on an ecommerce site which had much potential for growth. 15 hours into getting the right modules, doing some work in taxonomy and focusing on the functionality of the site...the project got pulled from my docket. So now, I have no idea what kind of thing I can do to continue enriching my Drupal skills. Sadly, I learn best by doing.

Any chance that I might find someone here looking for someone willing to work for low pay or pro-bono, since it is the experience I seek most. If that is not what this group is for, than I apologize.

Skills I possess:

I'm currently the "Manager" of this group but am trying to cut down on my group subscriptions and desire to leave this group. When I go to "My Membership" for this group, it states: "You may not leave this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may leave."

So, anyone interested in taking over the group? Please let me know by posting a reply here.

Thank you!
Walt

Hundreds of communities trading with complementary currencies need this!

Two years ago, working with the UK Coordinator for LETS I prototyped an architecture to support these communities with all their variants. Right now I have time to port it to Drupal which is the obvious platform. Progress is slow because I'm learning on the job, so this project needs mentoring.

• General understanding of Drupal 5x core and contrib

Dear Drupal users,

This is a call to accomplished, high-level themers.

I am in the process of developing a soon-to-be-launched international initiative aimed at prosecuting the United States, its leaders and allies, on charges of the crime of genocide in Iraq. I need significant volunteer resources in all aspects of Drupal, but in particular in theming and aesthetics.

My name is Matthew Pare and I'm a Co-Chair for the "Community and Core" track for Drupalcon Boston 2008. Over the last couple of weeks we have been planning and brainstorming to make Drupalcon Boston 2008 the best Drupalcon to date! One of our recommended track session topics is "Community: Role of the Contributor" and since your viewing this post on the Projects Needing Volunteer Developers group I thought you would be excellent candidates for submitting sessions on the topic.
