Start:
2014-09-30 15:45 - 16:45 Europe/Amsterdam Event type:
User group meeting
Join us in Amsterdam!
Information from the BoF is copied below, but if you plan to attend you should add it to your Drupalcon Amsterdam schedule.
If you have ideas for things you'd like to see, please leave them in the comments. I'm intending to act as a facilitator, not a presenter.
Possible discussion topics
- Nonprofit-oriented distributions: OpenAid, OpenOutreach, Campaignion, AbleOrganizer, Engage, others?
- Nonprofit staff/activists/organizers: Ask questions about how to get Drupal support, what are the best tools for the job, etc.
- Drupal developers and consultants: Share notes about how to work in the nonprofit/social good space, network with freelancers and shops specializing in "Drupal for good" work, collaborate on projects that can contribute back to the community.
- Offer case studies of interesting "Drupal for good" projects or websites.
- Talk about upcoming NGO- or activist-specific Drupal events, summits, meetups, etc.
- Talk about how we can use the groups.drupal.org groups Drupal for Activists, Organizers, and Social Change and Drupal for Good and/or the #drupal-ngo room on IRC. What can/should we do with these? And does anyone want to co-maintain these groups with me (rootwork)?
Resources
- Drupal for Activists, Organizers, and Social Change on groups.drupal.org
- Drupal for Good on group.drupal.org
- Monthly free Drupal for nonprofits calls sponsored by NTEN.org: Next call, 16 Oct.
- In July, the NTEN group invited the maintainers of four nonprofit-oriented Drupal distributions to discuss and present online demonstrations of their platforms. Read the notes and watch the video from the Drupal NGO distros webinar.
- #npdrupal hashtag on Twitter
- #drupal-ngo room on IRC (usually VERY quiet)
