collaboration

I wanted to reset this discussion on how Public Access and related media initiatives would benefit from collaboration in a wide range of areas from development, documentation, training, funding/fundraising, marketing, promotion, business, hosting, sales, and services.

Hi,
My name is Vikram and I am a designer and long time Drupal user/developer. I am looking to collaborate with a Mumbai based Drupal eCommerce project. If you are good at php/mysql/javascript/ajax and ecommerce do get in touch (virkam @ hpk.co . in).

Added knowledge of ActionScript2 would be great to have!

Regards,

Vikram

What an awesome event this past Saturday!

For those of you who were there, at the end of the workshop we had discussed conducting some sort of event where people could work together to build out their sites and deal with any problems they might have in a more personal setting.

My colleague Kev Walsh recently helped out at a Drupal Barnraising in Paris, and I'm just wondering out loud about the opportunity for us to do something like this locally.

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.
