The Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s mission is to increase public awareness of the nature and urgency of key fiscal challenges threatening America's future and to accelerate action on them. To address these challenges successfully, they work to bring Americans together to find and implement sensible, long-term solutions that transcend age, party lines and ideological divides in order to achieve real results. The I'm Ready! video project is designed to fulfill both those objectives. This new project allows for members of the community to upload videos and help spread the word about the national debt issue. The citizen videos will demonstrate to our elected officials the need to fix it.

I'm Ready was a 2013 Blue Drop Awards finalist for Best Advocacy Website Built With Drupal

Why Drupal was chosen: 

Drupal was selected for this project as it served as the ideal platform to meet requirements including: form submissions, out of the box workflow, autofire emails, a ranking system and an approachable and flexible single point of integration.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 

Success! The project is noteworthy for its fantastic cause as well as that it allows users to record video from site itself, and every piece of information is completely editable within the Drupal interface.

Technical specifications

Key modules/theme/distribution used: 
Panels
Colorbox
Fivestar
Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen: 

DOOR3 used a custom Kaltura integration for video upload and recording, to allow users to use their computer cameras to immediate record and upload directly the site for submission.

WHY THIS APPROACH?

Video submissions was one of the key features of the site. Using this method (Drupal with the custom Kaltura integration), we avoided the need to build a module from scratch at potentially significant time and expense.
