drupal.org'daki yerel destek siteleri listesinde değişiklik önerisini tartışmak üzere açtığım konuda topluluğun geleceğini tartışmak için ayrı bir konu açılmasını önermiştim. İşte bu o konu; topluluğumuzun gelişmesi için ne gibi fikir ve önerileriniz varsa burada dile getirebilirsiniz.

Buongiorno,

sto realizzando un sito di community e social networking. Ci sto lavorando da alcune settimane e sto per rilasciare online una prima versione.

Hi,

OK, now that I got your attention with a "catchy" title... and for those who didn't have a heart attack:

(This thread is specifically for Alex.K. However, everybody's welcome to jump in.)

http://drupal.org/project/user_relations_api

This is not a new API. This is a "glue API". This is the short version:

• You install it
• You tell it which "relation" module it should talk to
• That's it

From then on, any Drupal module has access to a generic set of functions to see if two people have an established relation, who the "related" users are, and so on.

Ladies, here is a way to help other ladies survive and prosper in some of the poorest regions by using microfinance. Microloans allow for families (women, men, and children) to prosper, and businesses to flourish generation after generation.

Kiva.org was started by some ex-Googlers, and has so far funded 60 000 projects of approx $500 each.

Drupal Norge (http://drupalnorge.no) er blitt oppgradert fra Drupal 5.10 til Drupal 6.4. Det ble ingen problem i selve oppgraderingsprossesen men det er fortsatt ganske mye ting å gjøre. Vi regner med at alle tilpasninger blir ferdig i løpet av uka. Vi beklager mulige ubeleiligheter dette kan medføre. Takk!

It came to my attention that New York's PHP User Group is very big and rather active. I believe we should try to reach out to them and try to bring them over to our Drupal Group.

They have been established for much longer than NYC DUG and i believe we could benefit greatly from having them integreated with Drupal User Group as well as teach them to benefit from drupal.

To promote continued growth of our local community i would like to start providing some "free" stuff to the group. I havent identified just what is it that we need to help us grow, but lets not have this put a stop to our plans.

Here are some of the things that i believe may/will be useful for our group:

Suite à une question que nous avons reçu, une clarification est nécessaire:

Pour moi la forme de l'organisation qui pourra bénéficier du Drupal'n'Go importe peu. Donc associations/fondations de toute forme de droit Français ou non peuvent postuler.

Par contre le critère "à but non lucratif" lui, je pense, est important.

Aussi on nous a demandé si une association dont le but est de promouvoir la recherche médicale rentrait dans nos critères.
