Doel van de bijeenkomst

Eerste sessie om te verkennen hoe we beter kunnen samenwerken rondom het Rijkshuisstijl template in Drupal.

Opzet maken om het rijkshuisstijl template "responsive" te maken.

Conclusies

Het D7 theme bestaat al en er is al een responsive subtheme. Meer samenwerking hieromtrent is gewenst.

Maybe this will inspire some of the cities out there -

Using the Views module, we created a searchable chart for our city parks where people could sort by different types of amenities.

Additionally, we added individual pages for the parks. Eventually, we're going to have maps on the parks as well, but the project had reached the point where it could go live.

There's going to be a Drupal4Gov event in DC on February 21st.

Keynoting the event will be our virtual keynotes from Ottawa to discuss their work on the Web Experience Toolkit

Tickets on eventbrite

We'll be at NIH starting at 12:30 on Thursday, February 21st,/a>!

Oh, yeah, and there's even more!

As I touched on responsive web design and Drupal at the meetup earlier this week, someone asked specifically about government sites, which is obviously a major segment of our work in this area.

.Net magazine (which is about web design in general, not about a Microsoft product) came out with a list of the top 25 responsive sites of 2012, and #12 went to Gov.uk, the official site of the British government. In .net's words:

Thursday following the Drupal Government Summit at the Reagan Building, we will head over to the Commerce Department's library for a Drupal4Gov ladder event.

We have the space to break up into smaller groups and will do groups:

A Newer Drupalers
B Have some Drupal or php experience
C Coders/Developers with Drupal experience

Each group will do either an issue sprint or a learning sprint.

We've started creating a curriculum for the Drupal4Gov ladder and will be doing our first Learning Sprint on August 29th. We will plan future Learning and Issue sprints and hope folks in governments around the world will going us in building government specific info into the ladder.

Hi folks,

Like Mike said, I'm here to promote and facilitate anything and everything having to do with the Digital Government Strategy, with a specific focus on APIs and open CMS. With over 100 .govs running Drupal and that number climbing quickly, it's in all of our interests to flesh out and promote as much of this as possible.

It's probably inevitable that sooner or later, Ottawa is going to have it's own Drupalcamp, perhaps with a major focus on government and NGOs. And because there's been quite a surge in government interest over the past year, I'm wondering whether this might be the year it happens.

With all the GoC buzz I'm pretty sure that there'd be a fair number of attendees, especially if it was held on a weekday (or Friday + Saturday), so the only question in my mind is whether there are enough people who could help with the organization of the event and could help with presentations and such.

I've added this event to the calendar, but I'm also including a discussion thread here in case there is additional discussion folks want to have around this topic.

One thing I didn't mention in the event posting is our volunteer organizers. None of this is possible without these fantastic folks:

Dennis Sutch, Department of Commerce
Kathy Dahl, Department of Commerce
William Brantley, US Office of Personnel Management
Diane Martin, US Department of Navy
Betsy Ensley, Phase2 Technology
Arva Adams, US Patent and Trademark Office
Jessica Richmond, Acquia

Develop a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) module that could be implemented into the Drupal CMS platform to allow for two-factor authentication using a Smart Card (SC) or US Government Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC) card for verification and access to secure website environments.

There was once sandbox-related activity found here http://drupal.org/sandbox/larquin/1292622 , but it seems to have been abandoned.
