Federal Digital Government Strategy
Welcome to the Federal Digital Government Strategy GDO Group. The goal of this group is three fold:
- Convene a conversation about using Drupal to implement the Digital Government Strategy goals and objectives
- Collect and share best-practices describing how agencies are using Drupal successfully
- Organize the creation of common Drupal modules that implement specific requirements of the digital strategy
There are many ways you can contribute:
- Start a discussion on an interesting topic you're thinking about
- Contribute to the requirements discussion about the /developer module.
- Share any best-practices or modules you're using to implement the digital strategy.
/Developer Hack Session #2
Sprint #2 for the /Developer module. Here are the follow up tasks we decided on in the last session:
- Test module, feedback
- Think about machine readable format for this
- Maybe use ServicesViews to provide this, or code it in the module
- Finish boilerplate text to show up on /developer/quickstart
- Tim Bornholtz will set up new slash_developer module on his D7 site.
- Screencast/record functionality
Location will be the same space at Department of Commerce. We'll meet out front of the main entrance on 14th at 2:50.
Looking forward to making more progress.

Government Drupal Folks,
Does anyone have experience grabbing compressed csv or text files on cron run and mapping to fields using the Feeds module or any other method?

We'll attach more info on how to get to the library this week.
Here are the rough objectives/agenda:

/developer Module Hack Day on 9/24
Updated: Looks like we're going to have the hack day on 9/24. More info to follow soon.
Hey Everyone, wanted to gauge interest in getting everyone together for a hack day to crank out the core of the /developer module.
The goal would be to put together a working first version and make some decisions on how to do API docs, discovery/description format and figure out what other pieces will be of value to Agency Drupal users.
At this point, we're looking at the following dates:
- 9/7
- 9/14
- 9/24
Let us know if you'd be interest in participating.

Machine Readable API Documentation
Hey everyone - I did a quick search and didn't find anything on d.o and g.d.o
Over in the Digital Strategy group we started talking about machine readable API listings http://groups.drupal.org/node/247253 and I was wondering if there's been any discussions or thoughts on how to do it with the Services module?
Edited: Added the right groups I forgot the first time. (Services and WSSCI)

With over 100 .govs running Drupal and that number climbing quickly, it's in all of our interests to flesh out and promote as much of this as possible.
