Join us on the third Thursday of every month, at 1:00 PM U.S. Eastern for our group meeting by phone. View our next discussion date.

All calls are free and everyone is welcome! While "#npdrupal" refers to "nonprofit Drupal" (similar to "#nptech") our focus is broader than just nonprofit/NGO-specific uses of Drupal and encompasses all "Drupal for good" work like advocacy, community organizing, fundraising, and campaigns.

Our meetings take place at 1:00 PM US-Eastern/10:00 AM US-Pacific/19:00 CEST. (Convert to your local time zone.)

Ask questions about how to use Drupal for advocacy, fundraising, online or offline community organizing, and more
Feature your case study of using Drupal for good
View resources on Drupal and activism/organizing/nonprofits, including distributions/module reviews, case studies, and notes from previous meetups.

USSF coming to Atlanta- local representatives for the tech team?

Posted by mlncn on February 1, 2007 at 1:42pm

Hi all, I'm decidedly not in Atlanta, but I'll be coming to Atlanta for the United States Social Forum– a regional edition of the World Social Forum just held in Nairobi, Kenya, and that started in Porto Alegre, Brazil, as a counterweight to the elite invite-only World Economic Forum.

The USSF site is being developed in Drupal by volunteers around the country, especially NYC (I'm in Boston but haven't helped much).

What are people using to prevent spam signups and spam posts (and comment spam)

Posted by GregoryHeller on November 14, 2006 at 10:22pm

On the drupal shop talk call today the issue of spam user registration came up (see notes). Laura suggested asking the question here.

How are people dealing with spam (in all its forms)
1) spam user registrations
2) spam content
3) comment spam

are you using Captcha or other user challenges?
Heavy moderation?
user based spam flagging?

let's here it!

Podcasting

Posted by Anonymous on October 19, 2006 at 2:02pm

So, I have been doing my monthly round up of really cool sites, and have been coming across a number of candidate Web sites using podcasting and / or multimedia solutions.

While I am not ready to tack any modules onto Drupal.org, I wanted to write about some low cost ways podcasting and multimedia can be added to a campaign budget. As I see it, the main benefit of adding audio and video in a campaign context is it is a direct appeal from a candidate to potential voters and donors and really gives people a chance to present themselves in the best light. Every campaign I know of has video of speeches and debates that probably should be shown in some context, and there are a number of really cheap ways to pull all this information into a site without a lot of effort.
