We wanted to share a sneak peek of new business partnering site, opportunity alert, sponsored by our client New Media BC that we are developing in Drupal. The goal of the site is to facilitate partnership opportunities between new media companies. A colleague called it a dating site for companies, which I think is very appropriate. It's not a typical social network; extended dialog among users is expected to completed off-line rather than via the service.

Historic 76 Ball Gas Station Signs Saved By Consumer Activists

For immediate release

LOS ANGELES- After a year in which rock critic and cultural historian Kim Cooper launched www.savethe76ball.com on an Apple iBook in her living room, and Drupal-powered website,
and nearly 3000 concerned citizens signed a petition, Texas petroleum giant ConocoPhillips has abandoned its "destroy all balls" policy and agreed to donate several dozen historic orange Union 76 Balls to select museums, in addition to ordering 100 new 76 Balls in CP's signature red. This is a
stunning victory for citizen activism, historic preservation and good design.

When told that his 8-foot wide 76 Ball might be added to the Smithsonian's collection, a delighted Ray Pedersen, who designed and fabricated the first 76 Ball for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, quipped "As a pilot, I don't see why I can't have my 76 Ball alongside the Spirit of St. Louis. It's an icon that people lived with for a long time, and now it's part of their Psyche. If Archie Bunker's chair is there, get my Ball in there!"

Introducing my first project for which I got paid. Its nice when a few $'s come in for hours of work. Not too many custom features here except some editing of the CSS files. Browser compatibility continues to give me headaches ;) Comments are welcomed!

A friend of mine runs a Czech community-website for naturists at http://www.naturista.cz, and he decided to switch from just HTML-writing to a CMS. Drupal 4.7.3 was installed, and we got to the work of starting all the things. We were both beginners, and the experience was like this: Drupal is really powerfull, but its whole design is somehow different from today's standards for user-friendly page, our users say. The discussion forum doesn't look like they are used to, to say it simply, plus some minor ideas around (can't understand, why a discussion-topic is split to first message/comments being different content-types!). Also we (authors of the site) had quite a few problems with unclear structure&descriptions in the admin section, which is ofcourse just beginners' problem, but still a problem, even a few bugs... But still we think that Drupal is the best choice available.

The biggest problem for us was a reasonable theme - finally I managed to create one, so that's why I'm posting to this place. You can check it at http://www.naturista.cz - pretty simple in fact, but still it took a lot of time, because I just learned PHP and CSS on it. The experience in this part is: Drupal is not easy for beginners. Overriding Drupal's CSS requires you to style simply EVERYTHING with high specificity, no simple script!

Hi, I just opened new Drupal community (http://drupal.ten.lt) in Lithuania. And want to ask, how can I add this to Local Communities list in http://drupal.org/community. I tried to cantact drupal.org, but nothing.
