Title: Review GoalGorilla » Promote GoalGorilla to Featured
Category: Task » Feature request
Issue summary: View changes
Status: Closed (fixed) » Needs review

As discussed with leighc on the DC Amsterdam we like to request to be featured on the marketplace.

As an organization we give back modules, patches, organise and sponsor local, national en international Drupal events.
Personally I am board member of the Dutch Drupal Association and co-organised the DrupalJam 2013 and 2014. Currently
I am lead in organising the first Dutch Drupal Awards: www.splashawards.org

We just wrote a featured case study to share our insights with the community: https://www.drupal.org/node/2346705

We made a DrupalGive page: http://www.goalgorilla.com/drupalgive
It is not up to date, we our launching our new site next week, you may notice we are using 2 different logos currently ;)....

Since we currently write in English we did not yet add our RSS feed to planet. We will launch an English site in 2015 and will blog
more in English from that moment on!

Many thanks in advance!!

Taco

We created our http://www.goalgorilla.com/drupalgive page again. It needs some new styling but the information is there.
Hope you can make us featured on the marketplace because of all the work we are doing. Thanks!

@Taco: It seems that the user GoalGorilla is a kind of institutional account. But there are code commits connected with and you write comment with this account. And is "Taco Potze" your account?
Especially why this seems to be the most important user account related to your company with code commits I think there is some clarification needed.

Just a link to my opinion of "organizational accounts" which were not allowed in the past and have now concrete limitations with code commits and comments.

Good point above ^

I think you've obviously done some great things in the community but a lot of your team appear to be quite fresh to your listing - with the exception of the Validator module I can see most of your team have no contribution (and that includes simple issue queue work!).

Because of this I'd be hesitant to mark you as Featured just yet.

Also - what's going on with the main menu when scrolling down that give page?!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies!

This is indeed an org. account. In our opinion it makes more sense the post cases, modules etc. with an org. account since these projects are part of a larger team of developers. Posting them from a single user does not make sense when for example this user leaves the company. Even 'featured organisations' in the list are now sometimes posted by users that currently work for another featured company! This can be very confusing for visitors and annoying for business owners.
An org. profile makes sure the credits belong to the entire organisation and not just 1 developer. If you have seen Dries his keynote on the DC in Amsterdam you will see he agrees the current system is hurting contributing to Drupal. See: http://buytaert.net/a-method-for-giving-credit-to-organizations-that-con... I am sure this will be reflected on D.O soon as well.

We have a young and ambitious team. Issue queu work is definitely something that can be improved here. We are if that and are reserving more time each project.
We have done much more than just the Validator module! Search Krumo is used on 3k websites, but probably much more since it is a developer module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/search_krumo more modules will be posted soon (as we promised from our Greenpeace case study)!

For now we help where ever we can. For example, we just launched the local event: http://www.drupalwithdinner.com last week where Robert Douglass spoke and we presented our results on our Drupal 8 corporate website. And we gave all 15 people free food ;)

For me contributing is not just about filling issues. Yes it is easier for you to check, but our efforts in making Drupal big in The Netherlands are going much further that.
As Dries told us during the Splash Awards (in which I was the lead organizing on behalve of the Dutch Drupal Association) what Drupal needs right now is more than just features or new modules, it is about making clients and developers aware of Drupal and its possibilities -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5narIZ7tWbM&feature=youtu.be

Every day we are working on making Drupal bigger, we are one of the leading agencies in The Netherlands and love what we are doing. Hope you feel the same and make us featured so we feel rewarded for everything we are doing and have been doing in the last 7 years! Thanks!

Taco

PS: We just relaunched GoalGorilla.org 3.3, can you send me a screenshot and browser info of the menu issue at taco@goalgorilla.com if it still exists? Thanks!

Fantastic response there Taco and very passionate. I'm sure you want your listing to be concise but perhaps your reply above could be reflected in your listing (and/or drupalgive page) since I feel I missed it first time round!

I'm certainly more inclined to list you. See if we can get 1 or 2 more +1's and then give me a nudge.

Best of luck,
Rick

+1 for featured

About the usage of the GoalGorilla account: While the waters have been murky in the past what organizational accounts are allowed to do or not allowed to do there are now crystal clear rules (ie ToU). The most important rule: There cannot be code commits made with such an account! Looking at the account I can see that the last code commit appears to been made in 2012 so I don't think we have a real problem here.

Thank you so much on behalve of all the gorillas here :)!!

Good idea to update our /DrupalGive and org. listing, it's in our marketing backlog (yes we do agile marketing :)!

I'll buy you all a beer cerveza on the DC in Barcelona! (no that is not corruption, just a thanks for all your work on D.O)
