Knight Drupal Initiative launches

By agentrickard on

Announcing the Knight Drupal Initiative
=========================

The Knight Drupal Initiative is now accepting grant applications. Anyone may apply at http://groups.drupal.org/knight-drupal-initiative.

Application is a two-stage process. First, an open community review will select proposals for submission to Knight Foundation. After submission, Knight Foundation will have final approval over grant funding. More information is available at http://groups.drupal.org/node/10461.

There are no deadlines for submission. The program establishes an ongoing grant review process. New proposals will be reviewed monthly by the Knight Foundation.

About the program
============

Together, Drupal and the Knight Foundation are working to improve communities by providing a freely distributed, open source digital publishing platform. We are looking to fund proposals that achieve our mutual goals.

Drupal and the Knight Foundation agree that open source digital publishing can enable powerful agents of transformation in their respective communities.

Together, we are working to improve communities by providing an open democratic platform in the digital age.

We provide funding for grant proposals that achieve our mutual goals by using and improving the Drupal platform.

OhBoyObama.com site launched using Drupal and Drigg for grass roots voting system

By gearhead on

OhBoyObama.com site launched using Drupal and Drigg for grass roots idea voting system. Using Drupal 5.7 along with the current release of Drigg we created a social site for followers of Barack Obama to contribute their ideas for the Obama campaign and to vote on the ideas of other Obama supporters. We also use the Invite module to allow fans to spread the word by inviting their friends to join them.

I hope the Drupal community enjoys the site. We could not have done it without Drupal and Drigg.

By mbutcher on

Developing new modules for Drupal 6? Porting older modules? Packt Publishing has just released a new book, Learning Drupal 6 Module Development, by Matt Butcher. This book is targeted toward PHP programmers interested in Drupal 6 module development.

The book takes a hands-on approach. Each chapter walks through the development of a module, theme, or installation profile. As the reader progresses through the book, she or he will be able to create increasingly sophisticated Drupal modules.

If you're new to Drupal development (but have PHP development experience), this book will get you developing modules right away. Are you a more seasoned Drupal developer just looking to get some modules updated? This book focuses on many of the new features, changes, and improvements made in Drupal 6. Check out the sample chapter Creating Our First Module (1.3M PDF) to get a feel for how the book is written.
