greenpeace

For over thirty years Greenpeace has been at the frontline defending the environment. The web is a crucial tool in almost everything we do.

The entire environmental movement has been but a dress rehearsal for the fight against climate change. In December 2009 the most important boring meeting in history will take place. Governments will convene in Copenhagen to decide the steps that they will take globally to address climate change and with this they will decide all our futures.

Greenpeace aims to mobilise New Zealanders to ensure our representatives hear the voices of their constituency and make the right commitments to protect our fragile planet. With your help we will develop an extraordinary web platform on which this mobilisation will manifest.

I need some examples of nice media sites for the Greenpeace UK demo. I already have ourmedia.org - but it would be nice to show a site that did good "photo". Help!

Greenpeace UK is in the middle of an evaluation of CMS's. See http://importantprojects.co.uk/archives/000077.php for detailed information about their process. I will be making a presentation this Friday to them and addressing how Drupal could meet their needs. I am looking for help in this, specifically I will want to show them working examples of each of their areas of interest. Check out their requirements spreadsheet and give a hand here.

For the record we (CivicActions) are not being paid for this work. This is not a decision making regarding who will implement any of their sites in the future. We will give full-credit to anyone who contributes here (as a matter of fact I will show them this group during the presentation). We believe that Drupal would be a great platform for Greenpeace UK, but more importantly we believe that the Drupal community is the right community for Greenpeace.

Rob Purdie is going to be helping Greenpeace UK select a new CMS to replace their custom-built ColdFusion one. He's going to be blogging the process -- not just what applications he is looking at (Drupal is one of them), but also the actual process of selection. Definitely required reading for anyone that does consulting around helping organizations select/implement applications.
