We are doing it again!
After the last Webinar, people were so excited about getting VoIP Drupal installed and working, we figured that we have to do it again!

Date: Wednesday, April 11th 1pm-2pm EST

Expected audience: Drupal developers and Drupal site administrators

Goals:
Configuring VoIP Drupal with Tropo VoIP Service and making a script interact with a phone.

We will set up the Conference Call script and at the end of the demo we will all be able to call the conference line and say Hello!

Ever wanted a place where you could simply offer to pay to get something you need in Drupal done?

Please donate to make that place. (Yes, it's using a different crowdfunding platform, one that really lacks features for coordination, but is passing on all money raised -- if we reach the minimum -- without even deducting credit card fees.)

And spread this link! http://tilt.tc/usLL Is there enough interest in community funding of Drupal software to fund the software to coordinate this-- in just a few days? Also, if you are available to work on this project in DrupalCon Denver, we've got a DrupalCon ticket for you! Or if you're interested in working on this later, contact me for that, too!

The Drupal Association recently announced the Drupal Community Cultivation Grants - a new program designed to provide financial support to Drupal event organizers.

While full details are available at the link above, I wanted to make sure this group knew about the program - please spread the word to aspiring event organizers. Raising the initial funds can often be a large hurdle - this program aims to lower the barrier of entry for organizers.

As I am new to Drupal and while looking for groups to help me learn and find contributions for my particular needs I was surprised to find no "Demographic" Group Type. Of the five types that do exist Geographic, Event Planning, Archive, Distribution and Working Group - none work serve Demographic based websites or development.
