Working group

Drupal as yet lacks a really complete, comprehensive meeting module. This group aims to expand the functionality somewhat.

Ideas are being fleshed out on the wiki at the moment, feel free to get involved!

SMS Framework is project for Drupal that began as a part of Google Summer of Code 2007. The modules inside the framework add powerful SMS integration to your Drupal site. An API is provided for building more features. See the project page on Drupal.org for more information.

This group is used to shared ideas about the project.

Student-run organizations at colleges and universities are now almost expected to have a website. The lack of web design and development knowhow within a particular club or organization and the transient nature of any organization's webmaster can often make it difficult for a student organization to maintain a useful website. Drupal and other content management systems can revolutionize the way campus organizations project themselves on the Internet.

Dries has stated his desire to have actions in core.

John VanDyk has stated his basic roadmap for actions.

This group is meant to be a working group where discussions about actions architecture take place.

One upshot of the CiviCRM BoF at DrupalCon DC '09 was the discovery of some common interest in developing basic, lightweight CRM functionality from existing Drupal modules and new modules adhering to Drupal architectural patterns. The intention would not necessarily be to duplicate existing third-party software like CiviCRM and Salesforce, but to create a simpler option, more closely integrated into Drupal CMS, for smaller-scale CRM applications that don't require the complexity of a dedicated CRM platform.

Big companies have achieved serious productivity gains through the deployment of ERP systems (such as SAP) that integrate sales, production, purchasing, etc. into so-called ERP systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_resource_planning. This made it possible to gather more data and actually use that data for more efficient forecasting, to set up warning systems for management to prevent impeding catastrophe, etc. Without ERP, there would be no just in time manufacturing and global supply chains would still be a bureaucratic nightmare.

This is a working group for those involved in the development and extension of Drupal's Next Generation database abstraction layer, including the Schema API and the development of new database drivers.

Please remember to read the documentation for the Database API. It will likely be helpful to review the PDO documentation as well.

In this group we should formulate and discuss the required and optional features for Spreadsheets as nodes in Drupal. I have started a Spreadsheet module and will upload it once I have .csv import working (as an obvious requirement for any Spreadsheet module).

All are welcome to join this group, programmers, users, developers, etc... and give me their two cents as to what is required for a Spreadsheet module in Drupal.

Also, I would like to try and find some other developers to collaborate with so that our module ends up being as good as possible.

Integrating Drupal with Customer Relationship Management solutions such as Salesforce, SugarCRM, [Tiger], etc.

Drupal is such a good opportunity for students, and students are such a good opportunity for the drupal community and for Drupal firms.

So how can we organize such a good collaboration ?
