The Seattle DUG agreed on Thursday to launch a Barn-Raising Drupal Learning Project!

The primary objective is to help a local non-profit by building a Drupal 7 site as a Open Learning Project. All planning and development will be completed in the open using the Drupal Kata project resources and will culminate in a public barn-raising, where Drupal Volunteers, Mentors, and Apprentices will work in teams to build the site in one or two public sessions. Observation areas will be setup for the public to watch and learn as narrators explain the work as it is completed.

Our hope is to capture as much of the work as possible and make the project available in the Drupal Dojo (http://DrupalDojo.com) Learning Resource Center along with planning and reference materials.

The project will be managed by Seattle DUG volunteers in the Drupal Kata (http://DrupalKata.com), utilizing the Kata's Open Atrium for project management and a variety of other tools and procedures under development in the Kata. The Drupal Kata is the Project Based Learning program outlined under the Drupal Open Learning Initiative (http://DrupalOpenLearning.org).

It is the hope of the Seattle DUG that this project will:
* result in a fantastic new Drupal 7 site for the Seattle Genealogical Society, SGS
* be a positive learning experience for volunteers with a wide range of Drupal capabilities
* generate a variety of lessons, best practices, tips and tricks for the Drupal Learning Resource Center (The Drupal Dojo - http://drupaldojo.com)
