News and announcements

Hello folks,

I'm the Director for New Media Programming at the CT Film Festival in Danbury, CT and I wanted to see if any Drupal demonstrators would like to teach a workshop at his/her discretion. We have a speaker doing a Social Media 2.0 Workshop as well as a CMS overview with Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress.

First off, our independent festival is 6 years old and quickly growing. We are unique in that we are an 8-month traveling festival within the state, providing weekend and weekday performances at universities and theaters and then ending with a weeklong series of events in early May (over 300 films, workshops, performances and parties). Of course, we have the most comprehensive film tax credit in the nation (films, commercials, new media, video games) and our Education Director is the head of the state-funded Film Industry Training Program.

The focus for New Media programs this year is Free Software, Web/New Media, Animation, Music and Advocacy. We are further sharing 1/3 of our curriculum with Film and Education.

Please email and/or call me if you are interested in helping us. The festival is May 4-9 and ours is May 6-9. I will know more at our next meeting about exact scheduling.

A toda la comunidad de Drupal, quiero compartirles que empiezo unos videotutoriales dedicados al desarrollo con drupal, esto para aportar a esta gran comunidad que me ha aportado tanto..para seguir los videotutoriales pueden visitar www.tutorialesvirtuales.com

Hello to everyone!

IPSafer.com has just added support for Drupal 6.15!

You can download the tiny patch directly here:

have a nice day! :)

Our mission is to advocate the use of Drupal in various areas of information technology, with a focus on education and non-profit fields.

The “ministry” in our name is not used in a government or religious context here; it simply refers to the devotion and organizational credibility of the Drupal community. We firmly believe that, in addition to the excellent content management framework technology, the community is the greatest strength of Drupal.

This site does not aim to establish a community on its own; rather, it serves as an additional entrance to the already substantial Drupal community. That is the primary reason for the absence of forums and comments. This is also not simply an aggregator site that re-posts existing content. If a Drupal-related resource is useful, it will be included on here because it provides value to the user. Often, a short description will accompany the post so the reader can immediately see what the resource can do for him or her.

There will be original articles as well, taking on specific problems site administrators may face, providing details on how a Drupal-based solution can be applied.

Another focus of this site is to help advocates spread Drupal in an effective, professional manner. There will be help with anything from choosing the right software to improving captured audio and video at conventions and seminars.

Attention all brilliant Drupalists: if you want to get your session in for 2010's North American Drupalcon — today is your last day. Go to sf2010.drupal.org/node/add/session and get yours posted. After submitting your great idea, be ready to rally some support for your sessions, because on February 16th voting will begin.
