No, I've built a module or two, and a lot of themes, but nothing general-purpose enough to release publicly, and certainly nothing good enough to have a chance of making it into Drupal core. I've tried a number of content management systems, and went on to make the obligatory these-aren't-good-enough-so-I'll-make-my-own mistake before trying Drupal. Been saying "wow!" at regular intervals ever since. It's just gorgeously well-designed (after several complete rewrites from scratch, apparently); a real information management tool rather than a blog or bulletin board with delusions of grandeur. When the Semantic Web takes off, Drupal will be the system to beat.

[Planning-en] sfd06 in the blogosphere

by Cat Scratch

Hi all, I thought it would be good if we were to spread the word about SFD throughout the teams, and get people to blog about what they're doing, or intending doing... Get people to tag their posts sfd06 and we could do some kind of nifty feed. cheers Donna -- MEL8OURNE2008 linux.conf.au http://www.mel8ourne.org must.be.there donna - bid co-ordinator

[Planning-en] planning

by UDUS FOSS

Project Report Project Management The project is being handled by the UDUNet FOSS LAB, a lab setup to widen use of FOSS & Linux in UDUS, with the support of Nigerian North-west FOSS Zonal coordinator (Mall. N.S. Zarummai). Ongoing Project o UDL Projects (using FOSS tolls) 70% compiled. o Module (using FOSS tolls) 80% compiled. o Hostel Accommodation on line (using FOSS tolls)- 95% compiled. o Student Registration on line (using FOSS tolls) - o and many more others. The Future of the Project We are very enthusiastic and optimistic about the future of the project. The positive response we have received from the management and the students has encouraged us to continue our work, and to increase the effort we put into it. We would in the future like to see this project developed to having a volunteer visiting the LAB on regular intervals to support the students in further development of Open Source awareness. The project will be of great advantage to the University and the community as the use of FOSS is saving a lot of money on the porches of software. Giving the community an awareness of alternatives that they would otherwise never have received is a very important part of this project. This awareness is necessary to develop a future generation for the challenges that they have to meet. FOSSM - University Event Target Audience: IT/Non-IT University Students / Students from others institutes Participants: 10 Students per University + Lecturers Venue: Mini-Campus UDU Sokoto Date and Time: 15th Sept, 06 : 8.30 a.m 12.00 noon Software Freedom Day 06 Target Audience: IT/Non-IT University Students / Students from others institutes and the general public.

We'd love to hear from you on the planning mailing lists http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/planning-en (English) http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/planning-es (Spanish) or on the forum at http://forum.sf-day.org/ It would be great to see some streaming webcam coverage of your Software Freedom Day!
