collaboration

Amazee (http://amazee.com) is a cool new social collaboration platform implemented in Drupal. It offers a free platform for people to come together and collaborate online on projects. Features include a project magazine (with cool drag and drop functionality), wiki, events calendar, discussion forums, sponsoring etc. Amazee is a great showcase for many things Drupal is good at including a great user interface.

Maybe it is an interesting candidate for a d.o front page showcase? Here is a summary of recent press coverage:

I would like to raise a discussion about the prospect of the Drupal community using a system that allows collective design, funding and development of any Drupal project.

Think about it this way: if the Knight Drupal Initative is the Google summer of code for Drupal, what I'm proposing is a Google year of code for Drupal, only there is no single entity such as Google or DKI funding projects, the funds come from community. My partner and I have already implemented a solution that makes that possible (www.fossfactory.org). I would like to hear from you about how suitable this model is for the Drupal community at large.

We're looking for a developer to design, develop and maintain a suite of communication tools and web services to support interdisciplinary collaboration at the leading edge of science and computing. The developer interacts with the core administrative and technical staff and a range of project teams to provide websites and customized collaboration tools in a dynamic, multi-platform technology environment.

Here's the lowdown on a project some of us have been kicking around as a potential 'code sprint' and/or community coding effort.

The online music collaboration community at http://musicollaborate.com/ is a resource for songwriters and musicians to come together online.

Start a Project Group and collaborate on audio projects.

I'm happy to try to get this group organized. I'd love to have the Vermont Drupal users get together online and in person to help each other out, share ideas and expertise and support each other's efforts.

I see we've had some folks join in. Can we introduce ourselves? And can you offer up some ideas on how a group like this could help you do what you do with Drupal?

Note: If you're at Drupalcon and you're interested in this position, I'm at Drupalcon too and would be love to talk with you about it! Email me at: pnason at dreamfish dot com
