Revolutionary Drupal: Coding and Supporting Social Change - DrupalCon BoF
At Drupalcon? Join us Thursday 12-1PM in the Erie meeting room for Revolutionary Drupal: Coding and Supporting Social Change
Technology doesn't drive social change, but it is one tool used -- from the streets of revolutionary Cairo to community organizers in Detroit. Can we help support these social change movements with Drupal? Are there ways we can code and structure Drupal projects to make them more useful to activists? Does Drupal have a role in protests and strategic direct action?
This session will be an open discussion for those working around social change, case studies of using Drupal, and brainstorming for ways we could collaborate or support Drupal projects that support social change.

Greetings from the "Drupal for Revolutionary Change" BoF @ DCSF
Hi folks from the "Drupal for Activists and Campaigns" group,
Read moreBarnraising Best Practices?!
I'm organizing a "barnraising" for a Nashville non-profit in July and I'm soliciting best practices and experience from anyone who's participated in or helped organize a 24 or 48 hour sprint to build a website with a group of volunteers? I've found two Drupalcamps where this happened, so far. Anyone else?
