colleges

We're just compiling a list of Australian Universities using Drupal, and are sure to not know about a lot. If you know of any, please list them in reply to this thread.

Cheers!

Dear members,

Please invite more students and professors to join this group:

We need to increase drupal awareness as much as possible. This will definitely help the entire industry as a whole.

Overview:

In the last pune drupal user meetup ( 26th dec, 09) we all agreed to the need of more drupal awareness as a whole and one of the ways we discussed was to tap the interest early at the student level. To this effect project code named drupalkar (having both hindi and marathi connotations) was planned in which seasoned drupal developers will donate 1 hr to a student gathering in a college to spread drupal joy/way of web development. Approach here is simple, in that 1 hr drupal developer would demo how a website can be made from scratch in 1 hour in form a interactive demo and giving out more ideas and possibilities at the end of the demo. The same would be followed in many colleges with different developers donating time with different demo's (or maybe same, if one works out to be exceptionally good to catch attention)

This discussion is follow on to the Pune Drupal developers meetup we had last Saturday (26 Dec 2009). We had a bit of confusion about which Drupal.org group we should use.

I believe many of us were not aware that there are two Pune groups in drupal.org.

Here is more info about the two Pune groups for Pune Drupal developers in drupal.org

groups.drupal.org/pune-india
- 80+ members
- Membership is automatic (anyone can join immediately)
- No moderation (Posts appear on groups.drupal.org/pune-india immediately)

I've been talking to a few University / College types lately and been asking them one thing -- If a group existed that was dedicated towards Drupal for Universities, would you be interested? Thus far the few that we've pitched this idea to have been very receptive. I posted recently about this idea of a Drupal for Universities Consortium to try and get some feedback / discussion from the rest of the community.

Welcome to the group! I recently launched a new website for the Rice University Student Association (at 4 am this morning - fun) and I plan on launching a Drupal site to replace the aging website of my residential college, Jones College. The idea to create a place for Drupal campus web developers to exchange ideas popped into my head a few minutes ago - and here you are!

I'd love feedback on the SA website - especially criticisms!

I'm delighted to announce the release of phpEdu beta2.

You can now install the modules just like any other Drupal module. Please, this is for people who are interested in looking at ongoing work. Things are bound to change at anytime. Download if from: http://www.phpedu.org.uk/public/phpedu-beta2.tar.gz Install and try. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. You'll need to grab some contrib modules eg activeselect, user_readonly, og.

Hi All,
