About The Collaboration Foundation
The Collaboration Foundation is a grassroots non-profit arts organization that grew from The 1 Second Film project (currently runs on Drupal). The 1 Second Film has over 10,000 participants in 59 countries. Apple recently donated over $25K in computers to support the project. Our goal is to build an innovative platform for global collaborative art and social-change on a scale only possible when people work together. Our Board of Directors includes Albert Maysles, Juli Taymor, Stephen Nemeth, and Ben Goldhirsh. For more info, please visit www.collaborationfoundation.org
What We Will do With the $10K
If we win the $10K grant, funds will be used to build a non-profit dynamic Drupal site that will provide a global community of participants with free tools to connect, create, and collaborate. Preview the design for our new site here: http://collaborationfoundation.org/preview.html
Possible Benefits for Drupal Community
• Creation of a high visibility Drupal for Good project
• Ongoing development of our site could offer tangible training exercises for students in Drupal Dojo. We've talked to some high end Drupal companies about donating project managers to oversee Drupal apprentices in the collaborative development of the Collaboration Foundation's Drupal site.
• Could document the build w/ video and provide learning materials for Drupal Community
• All technology developed for the project will be open and returned to Drupal community.
• We're open to other ideas from Drupal community about meaningful ways our project can give back to the community.
If you would like to support this, please take 30 seconds to vote here:
Voting lasts til July 31.
And please share with friends. If you have any questions, suggestions, etc. about the project, or if interested in being a part of it, please contact me.
Much thanks,
