First off, thanks to everyone for your posts and involvement in 2006. More importantly, thanks for the work you do using Drupal for worthy causes in your community and throughout the world. Our group has been a bit quiet though in informing others about how Drupal is being put to use for GOOD. Let's all make a resolution in '07 to continue using Drupal for good, and to keep fellow Druaplers informed of what is being done.

I know that large organizations and major mobilizations like the World Food Programs http://fighthunger.org, UN Millennium Campaign's http://standagainstpoverty.org and the One campaign's http://one.org are using Drupal. Great Drupl shops like Development Seed use Drupal to support everything from the World Bank to a small project for returning Peace Corps volunteers. However, you probably haven't read much about any of these projects in this group. Sharing how Drupal is being used for good is important in encouraging and growing the Drupal world, but also in displaying it to outsiders. A vibrant Drupal of Good group can be vital in encouraging more grants from Google or organizations wishing to support open source development for charitable ends. (note: I'm just as guilty as anyone when it comes to not posting about my work)
