Vote up our Drupal-based entry into the Knight News Challenge! http://newschallenge.tumblr.com/post/19436436704/vozmob-mobile-voices-af...

This proposal will support continued development of the VozMob Drupal distribution, which includes completing the Drupal 7 upgrade of various contributed modules.

VozMob - https://vozmob.net/ - "amplifies the voices of those excluded from the digital public sphere, by appropriating mobile phones for community-based journalism."

Could someone explain the procedures of applying for 2011 News Challenge with Drupal?

Dear Drupalistas

My session is one of the finalists for FreePress.net's National Conference for Media Reform in Boston, but I need YOUR vote to help it make the final list.

The conference will focus on media reform, media policy and media activism, and will be an important opportunity to promote Drupal the Open Media Project, Open Source and Community Media to the many local and national attendees.

Please vote here: Open Sourcing Community Media - http://agenda.freepress.net/?i=63

Hi all, the Transmission network (http://transmission.cc) has just completed a full proposal to the Knight News Challenge, for a video-focused 'Transmission Drupal Distribution': http://tinyurl.com/txknightdrupal. If we get the ,ドル we will do an open consultation process with Transmission network partners and the Drupal community to determine the modules we will fund development of. Please check out the proposal, rate it up, and if you think you would use this distribution, leave a comment to let Knight know it would be useful! Thanks.

I just wanted all of the Miami Drupal community to be aware of a new organization. http://incubatemiami.com/

The Enterprise Development Corp. of South Florida (EDC) is opening a 12,000-square-foot technology incubator in downtown Miami to nurture startup companies.

The center, called Incubate Miami, will offer discounted rent to young tech companies. The benefit for companies occupying the incubator will be twofold, explained Jane Teague, EDC’s executive director: The rent is cheap and the proximity to other tech companies offers synergistic opportunities.

Hello all Drupal Dojo users! I thought it would be a good idea to have some Drupal ninjas read and comment my proposal to the Knight Foundation for faveeo.com as the deadline is coming quickly for the news challenge and we hope to get the best proposal as possible!

If you are interested in the topics of information management, social agregation, information overload and community-based news networks, please have a look!

The idea is simply to get some ideas going and get some constructive critizism from the Drupal Dojo about this quite complex project!

Would you like a website as functonal as one of the top drupal newspaper sites. Would you like that for Free and deployed in 2 minutes.. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just click a button and have a full site installed .. that works.

This is what the Simple Idea makes possible

The current installation and configuration process for Drupal is a significant barrier to entry for:

• Not For Profits
• Charities
• SMEs
• Developers

Currently Drupal and other CMS are difficult to set up for end users - ie not developers.

[It looks like I'm a bit late to the party :) But please, anyone who is interested in this functionality, review and rate this project so it'll be ready to roll come next spring. . . thanks!]

All organizations, large and small, have a vital need to deliver relevant and timely information to its members. My project will be to make it possible for organizations to easily meet this need. I will improve two Drupal modules, write a new module, and write documentation so that organizations can easily add sophisticated news aggregation and recommendation tools into their Drupal website.

i know that we have missed the deadline for 2008, but i'd still like to discuss something we've been working on quietly for the last year, in summary.. it lets anyone - especially the non-technical - role out websites, template those websites and again roll them out. they can be rolled out by others as well..

conceptually this will allow for

1) building of really rich templates - imagine the drupal.org site .. as a fully featured site.. as a template
2) templates can include content, tags etc..
3) installing a template site.. currently takes.. c. 1min.. seriously

Help visually impaired people take control of their own Web sites by helping them administer the sites and create their own content.

Pick a specific community site for visually impaired people and convert the site to Drupal using the best available practices.
Document what works and set up demonstration sites to show the techniques.
Document what does not work, set up demonstration sites to test changes to Drupal, and feed information back to Drupal developers including theme developers.
