Hi
Like I say, we're working on an exciting groundbreaking film education project, but as a very small team, we are having to rely on occasional expertise.
If you think you might have a couple of hours here of there to help a project that helps 750 UK schools then do drop me a line for more details. :-) We need help with Drupal, Drupal-meets-Moodle, and Drupal commerce.
Many thanks - in advance - for any help you might be able to lend. We would also naturally hope - with a little luck and hard work - to offer paid work (including permanent roles) not too far down the line.
Kind Regards
Dom

Any more info?
Hi Dom,
this sounds really interesting.
As with many others in the Drupal community, I have a passion for free and open source software (with a strong crush on Drupal) and want to see it become the first choice for educational establishments across a range of use cases. I think this is particularly important in schools, both from the perspective that public funding should be directed towards open source development and that young people need to be more aware of free and open source software, what it is, how it can help, and how they can get involved.
I'd love to know more about what you are doing, and what sort of help you are looking for and what the long term goals of the project are. Who are the 750 UK schools? What is film education? (Education about film, or using film to educate?) Are you developing a system (distribution?) that will be open sourced?
As mentioned in my email, any further information that might tempt people to donate some time would certainly be good.
All the best.
Finn.

Just been reading some of the information on http://ukfilmnet.net/welcome/what-we-do and http://ukfilmnet.net/welcome/why-we-exist is certainly helpful for background, so perhaps you could explain a little more about what levels of technical help you are looking for. Senior Drupal developers? Site builders? Themers?
