News and announcements

Dries is meeting with Tim O'Reilly next week (and various other folks from companies like Google.) (He's open to setting up more meetings.) This was set up in part by Jeff from Lullabot, who has connections to the important O'Reilly publishing house.

SoftwareFree.Org is a portal of news and articles closely related to Free Software. It also seeks to show activities and events undertaken by the community. Their users can vote for published contents and these are ordered according to these votes. The objective of this website is to create a space where internet users can have a conversation about Free Software.

Hello Drupal'ers,

I have an exciting anouncement for you. We have developed a drupal module that will allow you to add a shopping comparison section on your current drupal site. You can add individual products (for niche sites) or you can add millions of products. You can create categories and products within them or whatever you like. You can decide to show just 1 store offer or all store offers per product pages. There are many many possibilities with this module. If you are new to shopping comparison and are not sure what it is think Froogle, PriceGrabber, NextTag, Shopping.com etc.

By driving traffic from your site to stores you get paid. We do not have the numbers in as to how much you will get paid per click from your site to a store but I dare to think the payout will be close or a bit greater than google adsense. The good thing is you get to offer a free service to your site users and get paid for it.

This module is funcational but due to partnerships with the shopping comparison companies we can only support maybe 20-40 users for this module - to start off with. Our goal in this module is to provide some amazing potential for the right people AND to give drupal.org a chance to earn some revenue. In the module will be a setting for you to donate a percentage of your revenue to drupal.org - we think it is fair to say if you make money using drupal so why not give back a bit. This is our effort to provide both drupl'ers and drupal.org a great module and revenue. You will have the option to give and how much for drupal.org.
