volunteers

Overview

The single biggest reason that the Drupal Association is such a great place to work is the Drupal community. You all dedicated your blood, sweat, and tears to make Drupal amazing, and that includes work on Drupal.org, our community’s home. As the organization charged with maintaining Drupal.org, we’ve relied on a pastiche of volunteer support, contractors (at various rate scales), and staff. One of the side effects is that there is a lot of confusion - what role should staff play? When do we hire contractors? When is it ok to ask someone to volunteer their time vs. pay them for it?

As you all know, Drupaldelphia is happening on June 22, 2012! We are in need of volunteers to make it great! Here's a short list of ways you can get plugged in to help.

Re: http://99online.us -- an Occupy Wallstreet site and a way to serve your country.

I am making one last appeal to Twin Cities Drupal people to help with an Occupy Wall Street Drupal Site. This could be viewed as an opportunity, if you are pro-OWS and live in the Twin Cities, because my site is the only Occupy Wall Street site around the area (though there are a few in the US). [Most OWS webmasters, though, unwisely went with some WordPress with BuddyPress sort of kit -- and many of the sites run poorly.]

What's Happening

We're in the process of planning a Drupal Camp in Vancouver next year and are looking for volunteers who are willing to help out in the upcoming months. Dates and a venue for the event are still waiting for finalization but we're looking to have it on June 1-2 of next year (2012).

Hi Aussie Drupalers,

I'm an old-school web designer, turned Wordpress tragic, that now finds herself wrangling a team of volunteers on a Drupal project. Woohoo! We've made great progress on the project so far, but are now looking for a bit of extra help, so I thought I'd put the word out here (hope that's ok).

ABOUT US...
Project Australia, a not-for-profit organisation helping people get their socially-focussed ideas off the ground - http://www.projectaustralia.org.au. At the moment the work is volunteer only, but this may change in the future.

WHERE WE'RE AT...
Functionality is pretty well specified and documented.
We've got Drupal up and running. Sign up, and ideas submission are pretty much done.
Modules in use so far include stuff like Organic groups, Panels, Location, Google Maps.
