Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hello Everyone,

A little bit about the initial resources we're putting together:

Domain Registration

Adam is in the process of registering dasa.org.za for the DASA. There's some (but not sure) indication that we will be able to register the domain for free and our secretary (Adam Dunn) will pay for hosting for a basic account for a year as a casual donation. He will also be the personal name with which the domain is registered and we appreciate Ivan Breet making available the Adcorp Holdings address where they host the Johannesburg Drupal User Group meet-ups as a physical address for the domain registration.

Google Apps for Business

Thanks you to Lee Taylor who will then register and maintain a single account with Google Apps for Business (but can add distribution group addresses as needed of course). Here we can then also use Drive to collect DASA-related documentation.

GitHub

Then we thank Ivan who will set up a free GitHub account for us so that the community at large can collaborate more easily with further enhancements and contributions to the DASA resources. GitHub will also be our initial hosting spot for the dasa.org.za website.

I'll post a bit more from our minutes from the last meeting and include any updates around the second half of next week.

Kind regards,
Riaan

A quick report so far...

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick note on how things are going:

Tonight we have our last meeting of 2013 that may lead to a surprise and exciting announcement for 2014 for the Drupal community. Sorry, can't say more just yet ;-)

We now have our domain (dasa.org.za) and hosting with Hetzner as donated by Adum Dunn. The access details have been forwarded to Lee Taylor and we're just waiting for DNS propagation of our MX record changes for him to complete the Google Apps for Business setup so that we will then have e-mail services.

Process will then move to Ivan Breet, as mentioned before, to set up our GitHub infrastructure.

Our bank account is also now ready:

Drupal Association South Africa (DASA)
FNB Current Account 62446745492
Branch 250655

Robin Prieschl will probably announce something that may keep creative minds engaged over the festive season today or tomorrow, so keep an eye on your inbox / this group.

Kind regards,
Riaan
