Startups

The aim of this group is:

to give members an opportunity to share their stories about building a website with Drupal for their startups
to create a space for those willing to learn more about Drupal and ways it can help online businesses
to foster a sense of entrepreneurship and, at the same time, offer technical guidance to those who may not be familiar with Drupal

Over time, it is hoped that this group will become an important part of the drupal community as more people come to learn Drupal for developing online businesses, be they ecommerce websites or social networks.

Drupal Course Excellent for Startups/Entrepreneurs

Posted by samcohen on May 22, 2014 at 8:33pm

For startups thinking of building their site (or prototype) with Drupal and small businesses, I'd like to announce a six-week online course, which would be ideal for someone trying to do it on their own. You can learn to build your site over the length of the course.

Mastering Drupal
A unique, live, online, six-week interactive course designed to help you leap over the learning curve and learn to build complex websites using Drupal. Classes begin Wednesday, May 28th, 2014.

Drupal's Hospitality Network as a Couchsurfing.com replacement

Posted by christefano on June 14, 2013 at 6:46pm

With the "digital nomads" breakout session at DrupalCon Portland still on my mind, I came across an intriguing blog post today by Nithin Coca about the so-called "rise and fall" of Couchsurfing.

Local News & Journalism

Posted by adriandahlin on January 24, 2013 at 5:32pm

Hey folks. I'm starting a local news website in my small city in Massachusetts. Has anyone out there tackled this space before? I'd love to pool some wisdom about news sites in Drupal. I'm thinking about starting a group for news & journalism. Let me know if you're interested.

Stuff I'm working with:
- News articles
- Blogging by several different contributors
- Ads, highly user-targeted
- Calendar of local events
- Forums
- Implementing canned themes, since I don't have CSS or PHP skills
