I have created several church sites using Drupal and am offering my customized Drupal bundle for others to purchase.

The bundle can be seen at www.churchplantingjourney.com. The bundle includes all of these features and can save you hours on configuring your site.
* Prebuilt Pages (About Us, Contact Us, Ministries) plus unlimited potential
* WYSIWYG Editor - Easy editor like using MS Word!
* Calendar with repeating events
* Allow sign-ups for events
* Audio files: post sermons and songs online
* Group pages - allow Sunday school classes, community organizations and other groups to have their own place on your site.
* Forums - allow people to discuss issues and ask questions
* Photo & Video Gallery

If you would like to see all that Drupal can do, also visit www.saturatecolorado.com.

Drupal rocks for church websites - now we just need some more Drupal Church Themes. Anyone wishing to distribute your theme in my bundle, please let me know.

Blessings,

Bobby D - bobby@gignetsolutions.com

Bobby... Thanks for posting here in Drupal's Church group. I not only enjoyed seeing your Drupal-based site(s), but also the SaturateColorado initiative.

[Visit ColoradoChristians.Net, where we've added your link. We operate the 50-state Blews.Network... connecting-sites to accelerate the Great Commission -- so we love finding other connecting sites such as the Saturate Colorado site.]

Selling Drupal?

Are people purchasing the software or the services?

be careful

I can imagine something like this selling. But, be careful how you do it. Take a look at the GPL license and you will see that you can't legally sell the software.

But, you have sell your services to set this up or sell it as a service.

Dries (the head of drupal for anyone who doesn't know) recently commented on this and the 'loop hole' over at his blog. http://buytaert.net/long-live-the-web-services-loophole

Actually you can legally sell the software.

This is one of the many myths surrounding the GPL. You can charge money for your code. The GPL allows this. But it insists that the source be distributed with it. Here is the FAQ entry from gnu.org.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney

It doesn't make much sense to sell the code since anyone can redistribute it for free, but the GPL does not prohibit this. I know that Dries says that you can't sell the code and he is right from the perspective that you can't sell the exclusive rights to the code. Hope this helps.

By the way, I love your podcast Matt. Just discovered it today and I'm going through the Drupal series. I wish I had discovered this before building Westwood Community Church. I'm looking forward to some insights there.

Agreed

Yes. To take a quote from GIMP's Policy on Selling: The GIMP uses the GPL licence, just like Drupal

Is it legal to sell copies of the GIMP?

Yes. The terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification of the GIMP are clearly listed in the GNU General Public License. Redistribution for
free or for profit is specifically allowed, as long as the license is
included and the source code is made available. See also Selling Free Software on the FSF site.

Besides the rights and conditions given by the GPL, it would also
be nice (but not required) to mention in any advertising that the
product being sold is the GIMP (or a bundle including the GIMP).

...

I bought the GIMP without knowing that it was Free Software

Unfortunately, some companies selling the GIMP do not always
mention in their advertising that the software that they are selling
can also be obtained for free. Sometimes the GIMP is combined with
additional software or artwork that adds value to the package, but
sometimes what you get is not much more than what could otherwise be
downloaded for free. If you have purchased such a copy of the GIMP
and you feel cheated, then you should complain to the vendor.

Has anyone used this distro? How can I get a copy?

Hi,

I'm just beginning to burn my fingers with drupal. Just wanted to know if anyone is currently using the sold bundle and how its performing? Also, how can I get a copy of this distro?

Cheers!

Freely share

Why not freely share your distribution much like the guys at http://webempoweredchurch.com/ because frankly I am steering toward their distribution even though it is not Drupal simply because it is free and they seem to be doing it this way because of a call God has put on their hearts.
