research

I just submitted a session/BoF/panel proposal for DrupalCon in Szeged suggesting ways of helping Drupal make greater inroads in the education sector (including research): http://szeged2008.drupalcon.org/sessions/what-does-education-sector-need.... Any feedback is appreciated.

I thought I'd start a thread where we could discuss what else the Drupal in Education/Drupal in Academia and Research crowd can do in Szeged. Please post comments with suggestions/ideas for other sessions, BoFs, or just let each other know who's coming.

We are seeking a developer to assist us with creating a new or re-purposing an existing dynamic research repository that can capture various case studies, articles, websites and other semantic information from a multi- member research team. Our focus is green building and sustainability to which we use this research content to populate our online learning portal, develop curriculum and increase our consulting knowledge.

Some of the repository attributes would include:

1. Drupal based or Drupal friendly alternative (MySQL)

Edgelink, an Oregon based IT Staffing agency, is currently seeking a PHP/Drupal developer for a client in Beaverton, OR (about 20 minutes outside of Portland). If you are interested in science and research, don't like the corporate, cubicle environment, and want a job that will make a difference then this job is for you!

Our client seeks candidates for a Web/Marketing Coordinator position. The mission of our client is to achieve a better understanding of physical, chemical, and biological processes regulating river-to-ocean ecosystems.

Description:

I was doing some research and came across these 2 directories. I thought might be inspirational. Please add more

I've just come across the fantastic software for social bookmarking for academics Connotea (see http://www.connotea.org) and started thinking about the many great projects out there which we could either learn from or integrate into Drupal. Of course, there are some obvious candidates such as Moodle, Elgg, Gallery2 that we all know about. But what about services such as Shelfari or LibraryThing? So I thought I'd start a thread where we could talk about what others are doing and how we can benefit from their hard work.

Hello everyone, I thought it would be best to start with an overview of all the different academic and research sites where Drupal is either being used or is about to be used. Please, indicate in your post which modules you found essential to provide functionality specific to the academic/research needs of your site.

Note: If you have more than one site, please, add it into separate comments.
