The source code and installation instructions for a fairly robust example of a Drupal based Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) has been posted on GitHub at https://github.com/MyLabBook/mylabbook. An associated community site has also been updated at https://mylabbook.org with a video describing the installation, documentation, screenshots and other background material. Plans are to continue to improve this platform and continue to utilize the robust capabilities of Drupal to provide a low cost and capable ELN that matches or exceeds the capabilities of many commercial ELN packages.
