Last week, DavidWhite & I created the #drupal-ngo IRC channel on freenode for broad-based discussion of how people can and are using Drupal to support the work of nonprofits and NGO's. The channel has not had much activity yet, other than from the two of us, benjamin-agaric, and bangpound, but it has been approved by chx as of last night, and Morbus Iff has added Druplicon to it.

I am writing this post to extend the invitation to any who are using Drupal for good to join us in the channel sometime. I hope that it can be another place where we can pool our skills and plans.

Hi all,

I've started work on drupalscotland.org again after leaving it idle for too long due to other commitments.

Anyway, i've started tpo open up the site so that if you have blog site and wanted to share your blog post on drupalscotland.org (as in feed your blog). Then let me know and i can add it to the site. All you need to do is tag your post with something like 'drupalscotland' so any blog post you want with this tag will only appear in drupalscotland.org.

Interested, contact me at: http://drupalscotland.org/contact

Thanks,

En una reunión vitual por gtalk: Freddy, Fernando y yo, creamos una lista de inscripción para tener los datos a la mano de los miembros que deseen compartir con los demás para estar en contacto.

La idea es tener una lista temporal, mientras vamos construyendo nuestra página web, donde ya se podrá manejar esta información de manera centralizada.

Para inscribirte, dejar tus datos o consultar los datos de otros miembros de la comunidad, utiliza la siguiente dirección:

Tentou-se mas não foi bem sucedida a tentativa de efectuar uma reunião
durante um fim de semana prolongado. Desencontros à parte a afluência
foi inferior à reunião do dia 23 de Outubro.

Por isso vale a pena voltar à carga, obviando a questão dos feriados e
afins. Este Sábado próximo.

Hejsan allihop!

För ett alldeles för långt tag sen diskuterades det mycket om att göra något av domänen drupalsverige.se, det vill säga starta upp en egen site för drupalentusiaster i Sverige. Sidan skulle tjäna två huvudsyften:

• Att skapa en väl strukturerad svensk drupalresurs, komplett med guider och diskussionsforum för såväl nybörjare som mer erfarna drupalanvändare
• Att på ett strukturerat sätt kunna marknadsföra drupal på den svenska marknaden som ett bra alternativ till andra öppna och stängda CMS-lösningar genom att dels belysa vad som gör drupal-projektet unikt samt ge möjligheter för olika drupal-aktörer i sverige att marknadsföra sig.

CIMBA is a university based in Asolo, Italy that grants MBA's to students from all over the world. Due to the distance between the different student groups, planning, coordinating, and building the alumni network has proved challenging. Our alumni association membership is in the thousands, however the membership groups are spread out between the multitude of social media networks out there, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and (hold your breath) Twitter.

This hasn't been specced out yet in any detail I'd imagine. But did anyone else who read this article by Paul Cullen about proposals from the Global Irish Economic Forum at Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park, think Drupal might be part of one possible solution?

I just cam across this: http://serviceweek.mozilla.org: "Mozilla Service Week [Sept. 14-21] is all about community – your community. We want you to find a way to use technology to make a difference in your neighborhood, your school, your library, your town. We welcome any act of service, no matter how small."
