Drupal for a content and social hub in medicine
I am a marketeer based in Weybridge, North Surrey, UK. We are shortly to start building a virtual content store using Drupal. I am interested in the social dimension as I would like our medical users to post their profile on our notzhub.
Please feel free to contact me. Unfortunately I have to attend a once a year business event this Sunday and so can't make your event.
Best wishes, Simon.
