DrupalCamp finally come to the Himalayas. The first ever camp is being organised on the 19th October at Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh.

The event is being organised to spread awareness about Open Source technologies and Drupal in particular. There will be couple of introductory sessions in first half which will be followed by quiz competition and community mixer.

In the evening we have planned an overnight Drupal.org code contribution session. If some of the participants are upto it, then 20th could be well spent trekking to Triund.

We are working on an open-source counseling chat module for D7, based on Node.js and NowJS. The Opeka chat module is primarily meant for counseling, but could be customized for other uses.

Features:

• 1-to-1 chat
• Group chat
• Queue system
• Ban IP and whisper option for priviledged users
• And more...

It is still in development, but we are getting closer to a stable release. The documentation is sparse, but growing.

Source code and documentation on Github

This is the first release that is integrated with and relies on Node.js module.

There are many more features to add, but this alpha opens up an exciting new world for Chatroom module.

Bug reports, feature requests and co-maintainers welcome!

In case you don't want to spend too much time with any Drupal chat / support system configuration and development, you can use some external application. Advantage of this solution is, that it is faster to configure and all perfomance needs handles external server. Disadvantage is costs, of course.

But, it is easy to calculate what is best for you.

In last time I spent much hours with helpdesk tool, which I really like - Live Agent.

Cyberhus.dk is a Danish 100% non-profit organisation founded in 2004 as a partner charity under the youth charity, Ungdommens Vel (Youth Welfare). The website is built as a “virtual house” that offers online counseling for vulnerable children and teens (age 12-18). Counseling is undertaken mainly by volunteer chat-counselors, all with relevant educational backgrounds.

We are planning a redesign of our chat software and have agreed to ask the Open Source Community for guidance and help in the planning and development of this software.

Hi

I want to integrate node.js or ajax push engine to Drupalchat and port it to Drupal 7 as part of GSoC 2011. I want to know the views of the Drupal community on this. Will it be helpful? If yes, then I will prepare a detailed outline and post it here. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Finally scratched an itch and created a Node.js Integration module last night.

The code is pre-alpha, and will eat your lunch and kill your kittens - please do not use the code unless you are a developer looking to help beat this in to shape.

Feedback and co-maintainers welcome!
