This group is a place to share ideas, organize and generally put our heads together regarding how Drupal is, and can be, used for nonprofit, charitable and social justice purposes.
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.)

Help with a Node Reference problem
I have been working on a problem that has me stumped. Let me give you the structure so you can understand what I am trying to do. I am talking about a-thons, so once an a-thon is created an individual must “join” that a-thon in order to participate. I do that with a Node Reference link on the a-thon page. Clicking on the “Join this a-thon” link creates a “join” record which is linked to a-thon and to the participant as the author. No problem here, that is working fine.

The current DA board is mainly associated with Drupal shops (and mainly US-based).

VoIP Drupal Beta 5 is out! Now with "deep SMS integration"!
Hello all,
We are happy to announce the release of VoIP Drupal Beta 5!
The main goal of this release is to extend VoIP Drupal's SMS capabilities by
a) integrating VoIP Drupal with Drupal's SMS Framework and, with that, compensate for the lack SMS support provided by major VoIP services (such as Tropo or Twilio) outside of the North American market;
b) providing ways for users to carry conversations over SMS (or any other text-based network such as IM, email, Twitter, etc.);
c) enabling the creation of calls that combine text and voice channels in some very interesting ways.

Materials exchange site feature set/install profile
In the lead-up to DrupalCamp NYC9, I mentioned the idea of creating a materials exchange site, similar (but superior) to http://www.wastematch.org.
I'm still interested in doing this. It seems like a very manageable proposition, and has the potential to foster connection with the city & promote FOSS use in municipal government.

Design Initiative: Narrowing the use case - who are our users?
To scope this discussion - this is about our new core theme for Drupal 8 and who it will serve, and how they will use it.
Its not possible to design and build something that will suit everyone, so we have been working on narrowing it down to identify who might use our new core theme and what their needs might be.
I have expanded on this and tried to think about skill-sets, constraints, features and what type of sites might they be building.
