promotion

Recently, I had to create a website, for a Penn State course, to search Tv shows. I was free to select any platform to develop the site on and I've picked Symfony php framework. However, couple weeks into the project I realized that Drupal could've saved me so much time and would've been much more reliable. If only someone mentioned Drupal to me at the right moment...

The Utah group is in need of a more active Manager. He's been inactive for the last year, and even before that he hasn't been very involved. In the year that I've been in the group we haven't even met him at any of the meet-ups we've held. Not to mention the fact that we've all tried contacting him multiple times regarding making changes to our group pages and appearance.

Hi all,

Welcome to this group dedicated to promotion of sites built on Drupal.

Here are some of the Drupal showcase directories (not belonging to*drupal.org sites) I have found on web. Not many, but enough for begining. You are welcome to complement this list.

A discussion worth checking out is this one on a CMS brand survey which amazon posted to the Drupal Group Marketing of Drupal. It references the following survey:

I'm no marketing expert, but it seemed to me that while awards and other trends show Drupal surpassing most, Joomla were kicking our butts when it came to marketing and PR. However Amazon had a pretty good answer to that, though I think there is still much for Drupal to do on the marketing end, and this survey could be some help.

Overall it still looks healthy for Drupal, with Wordpress dominating, Joomla second, and Drupal third and everyone else a looong way off. It's interesting to note that technical proficiency is quite out of tune with marketing, with Drupal (possibly) under-performing, but doing vastly better than, for example, Plone, which has a lot of positives, but is lagging badly in this survey.

Yesterday was the 2nd Journée portes ouvertes Design Montréal. Thanks to Bluesponge, the friendly creative agency we're sharing an office space with, my partner at Whisky Echo Bravo (our new Drupal shop) and I were there! Like many design, architecture or fashion firms in town, Bluesponge opened their doors to anyone interested.

Hi, everyone. Sorry to double-post, but this is to clarify the previous one.

I'm starting a WikiPage on promoting Drupal Dojo at http://groups.drupal.org/node/6386. The hope is that promoting the Dojo will attract and incubate more Drupal developers, as well as spread the Dojo's tools and philosophy to other projects.
