UPDATE:

No one has responded, so we are obliged to try to do this ourselves. We run into many problems in terms of development and implementation (internationalization, theme integration, etc). We still need help. On theming we have two themes selected and we try to merge them, to get the best out of both. Please write me if you think you can assist. Thanks for reading.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are no financial resources available for this work (i.e., there is no money). We look for volunteers. We ourselves are volunteers. Your contribution will be acknowledged, of course (if you wish), and we can provide letters of recommendation if needed. Your main reward, like ours, is a lighter conscience, knowing that you did something for the benefit of human rights and justice worldwide, and specifically for Iraqi victims. We believe that the protection and promotion of human rights is a duty that rests on the shoulders of all of us; that all of us should use whatever skills we have, in part at least, towards that end. Please read the posting in full and you will see that volunteering for this project would be a good use of your skills, and your time, for an initiative that could have a real world impact. Thank you for listening.

To all Drupal enthusiasts and experts:

I am involved in an initiative to hold accountable US and UK leaders for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq, including 2.5 million excess Iraqi deaths since 1990 and the displacement of 4.7 million more.

After nearly two years of planning, and several months of organisation and writing, last week we filed in Spain, at the Audiencia Nacional under laws of universal jurisdiction, a legal case naming four US presidents and four UK prime ministers. You can read our press release here.

This case is a historic step forward in the struggle for justice for Iraq, and by extension in the struggle for human rights against colonial and imperial crimes worldwide. If allowed to be a precedent, what happened in Iraq could happen elsewhere.

Where Drupal comes in
Around 18 months ago I posted a request for assistance in these forums (see here). As our initiative was getting underway, I could see immediately the potential of Drupal for online collaboration and social network building.

Your talent is needed! StopNATO seeks volunteer drupal developer to help us move existing article archive and listserves into new simple and basic drupal system.

StopNATO is a source cited by scores of newspapers and websites as well as renown authors such as Edward Herman, co-author with Noam Chomsky of 'Manufacturing Consent,'and William Blum author of 'Killing Hope' and 'Rogue State.' StopNato is a crucial source of raw intelligence and in depth analysis of NATO war planning and its terrible consequences for social movements for peace.

Recently I took on the task of reorganizing and streamlining this group site, with the goal of making it much easier for new and existing volunteers to continue with the drupal.org redesign implementation. There is information on the group site that isn't up-to-date or 100% clear yet, but I think we are fairly close with reorganizing these g.d.o pages. Here are my main changes, and I'd love your feedback.

What information would you need in order to help with the redesign implementation? Please add your comments below.

Looking for a job in Drupal is like visiting a candy store, I know, but most of these jobs are basically about building web sites to enhance your career and feed your family.

BOOOOORING!

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)

I, like many Drupalers (I imagine), maintain a number of sites for non-profits... some for pay, some for free. And I'm in Boston, the non-profit capital of the world (maybe?!) . ANyway, anyone who feels called to service or wants to dip toes in this (perhaps paying, perhaps volunteer) pool of work, I just got notice from Idealist.org that they are organizing a service week with Mozilla. Details below.

Our second heads-up is about Mozilla Service Week.

I'm helping with the website for the host committee for AA's 75th anniversary in San Antonio in 2010. The event will require around 5000 volunteers to accommodate the 60,000 recovering drunks hitting the Alamo City next July. The organizers would like for volunteers to be able to sign up for time slots for different jobs.
For example, 60 volunteers are needed for the Tuesday 1pm-3pm Hotel Lobby Greeters slot. Once 60 volunteers sign up, that slot should not be available any more, unless someone drops it.

Hello,

I have a website http://www.wcfree.com that has been created using Drupal 5. The site was created to basically test the market over the last two years. Now that I know there is demand for this type of social network/dating site I would like to take this site to the next level. Currently the site is on the first page on google, yahoo, and msn's search engines. In the last 5 months without spending a penny on marketing or advertising there has been over 18,878 visitors. (Based on adsense stats).
