News and announcements

A few days ago drupalsites.net reached historical peak of 5000 submitted sites in 4 years of existence online! But up to date we have "only" slightly less then 4000 sites listed. The reason for this 1000 span is moderation: some sites have gone offline or migrated to other CMS, while the others were just spam. And we do monitor all listed sites randomly almost every day. Also there are almost 6000 registered users now. Nice.

And this is a wonderful occasion to thank everybody who submitted sites and helped with DrupalSites.net development!

Are you technically minded, skilled in using open source media sharing software and passionate about environmental and economic justice? If so, the Bretton Woods Project seeks your help to fundraise and make exciting new information networks easy to use. Possible paid employment later for the right person.

The http://www.BrettonWoodsProject.org is seeking a volunteer to offer technical support and bring in fresh ideas to develop the media aggregation and sharing functions of two websites that turn a critical eye towards the actions of international financial institutions: http://IFIWatch.TV and http://www.rethinkingfinance.org. Although the position is unpaid for now, volunteers will be reimbursed for lunch and travel expenses.

The Bretton Woods Project works with civil society organisations and activists worldwide to help them press for changes in the World Bank and IMF. It bridges groups working in development, environment and human rights.

IFIWatch.TV offers windows on the environment, development, on economic justice, financial architecture (reform) and public investment - documentaries, TV shows, animations, meeting and protest reports, feature films, music videos, expert analysis and more - plus news, blogs and detailed documents.

Siruna, mobile experts with a focus on Drupal, are glad to announce the launch of OSMOBI, a new FREE on-line service (built for Drupal and with Drupal) that makes your Drupal website mobile-friendly.

OSMOBI, fully hosted by Siruna, will adapt your Drupal site (image rescaling, CSS etc...) to fit ANY mobile device whilst optimizing the experience for iPhone and Android. A mobile theme and module are available to complement the service. The OSMOBI WYSIWYG interface allows you to edit your mobile website content, look & feel and navigation in a matter of minutes. OSMOBI publishes your mobile site, while keeping the mobile content in synch with your desktop site and tracking/displaying your mobile traffic. The URL of your mobile website can be the same as your desktop website or different, you choose.

We're proud to announce the public beta of the new New York Public Library site, available at http://new.nypl.org. Please use the feedback mechanism available on the site if you would like to give us your input, but I'm happy to try answering any informal questions here.
