Add Happiness (Sweden) to the Drupal Services list

I've temporarily unpublished http://drupal.org/node/956120.

In order to be added to the services listing, you'll need to get some people to vouch for you in this issue.

I'm mostly active in the Swedish user group but can vouch for Happiness for what it's worth. Happiness is marketing Drupal to companys and organisations mostly in Sweden but are avalible for clients from other countries to. Blixxxa at Happiness is contributing for serveral modules, for example the Spotify-module (http://drupal.org/project/spotify).

Btw, Happiness is also a Drupal Association Organisation Member: http://association.drupal.org/index.php?q=civicrm/profile&force=1&gid=4&...

From acke:

Co-founder of Happiness – a swedish web agency and provider of Drupal related services.

I prefer vouching by a non-involved witness :)

See also: vouch.

Point taken! :-)

Happiness is a great agency for sure!

vouch for Happiness!

You need some webmasters who approve listings in this area who are to vouch for you.

I deleted that handbook page, the content is in the original post here.

See also #956574: Approve Happiness (Sweden) as a Drupal service firm where blixxxa, from Happiness, ignored the appropriate queue behavior. In my opinion, that counts against your inclusion in the services area.

Hi blixxxa,

Generally speaking when these don't receive a reaction it's because the company or individual needs to do more in the community to improve their reputation. Whether that means your contributions are not strong/diverse enough or that people aren't aware of them is unclear to me.

I suggest you review the recently fixed applications or some of the previous discussions (this search is not as good) and you will see how other companies have been successfully added (or not). Based on that you can see what kinds of contributions and profiles match with inclusion on that page.

I'm going to give this one a +1 (though I'm not on the webmaster team). I think we should get 1 more person to review this application, but I don't see a reason they should be denied listing. IMO it's a lot harder for non-US companies to gain enough karma to get listed here, and I think we should be making an effort to list more non-US companies...

Changing the component.

Just an update whats going on at Happiness.

Happiness have sponsored DrupalCamp Stockholm 2011 as a gold sponsor. 

Erik Petersen and Mattias Axelsson had a session at DrupalCamp Stockholm: "Malmö Opera Case Study".
http://spring2011.drupalcamp.se/schedule/fallstudie-om-malmo-operas-nya-...

Happiness is also hosting the swedish drupal usergroup meet-up in may. 

Happiness has produced lot's of new drupalsites like:

Malmö Opera - http://www.malmoopera.se
Industrifonden - http://www.industrifonden.se
Fasching - http://www.fasching.se
Vargen Vemdalen -  http://www.vargenvemdalen.se
Alna - http://www.alna.se

Happiness produced the winning Best intranet-contribution in the Web Service Award-competition in Sweden (SkandiaMäklarna Insidan). A drupal intranet, not OpenAtrium, but a PressFlow solution. Hopefully this will make Drupal a prefered choice when deciding wich CMS to run a intranet in Sweden.

acke of Happiness is now a admin of the swedish translation team with several contributions.

Happiness have via Peter Törnstrand contributed more modules like:

WebServiceAward - http://drupal.org/project/webserviceaward
Admin pane - http://drupal.org/project/admin_pane

We're certainly humble to the fact we have not contibuted as much as some of the companys on the services list but hope our efforts is enough for inclusion.

Still looks like you're moving in the right direction, still a +1 from me...

Alex UA, it's really encouraging to see your fast respons. Thanks for making the drupal community nice!

We hope that our record of contributions and commitment to the community will be enough for inclusion, although we understand that there is still a lot more we can do in the future.

@Erick Petersen- as I've said before, from where I sit you still should be on the list. But... I'm doubtful you'll get on before the new marketplace goes live, which should be soon. (See #1103306: Modification to marketplace T&C) As soon as the changes are implemented I'm going to go through the backlog of worthy requests and try to help get them up there first.

Though I'm not directly responsible, I just wanted to say "sorry" from the rest of us Drupalers for making you jump through so many hoops for so long.

Thanks for the info.

Another update from whats been going on at Happiness, we got awarded the Bronze at Blue Drop Awards (best enterprise) for the Grand Hôtel website :-)

Marking as a duplicate of #1459834: Review Happiness-please use that issue for future commentary/reviews.

Thanks, and sorry for the long delay!
