The Beijing 2008 Olympic Orchestra uses JoomlaI just came across a site running Joomla thats been setup for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Orchestra to publish news and general information about the orchestra etc.

The site's fairly simple and, like many other quick'n'dirty Joomla sites out there, uses a Joomlashack template. Though its been put together a little spottily (menu item assignments don't seem to be uniform through the site so some pages don't feature the full navigation etc...), this site really reminded me how pervasive Joomla is for people who want just a tad more than say, a Wordpress blog.

Drupal vs. Joomla - Fight!

Ohloh.com is an interesting little website that has spurred some chatter on the Drupal dev mailing list. It claims to "map the open source world" by "collecting objective information on open source projects."

It analyzes the codebase and contributions for a project and spits out some interesting data. A particularly charming feature is that it estimates the number of collective man hours that have gone into a given project, and tallies what it might cost to have such a project developed.

Drupal for Nonprofits, or, How to Build Social Networks for Change

Earlier this month, NetSquared was generous enough to fund my attendance at the Lullabot Drupal Intensive workshop in Providence, Rhode Island. Drupal is a free, open-source content management system that allows non-technical users to update your site and is capable of powering blogs, community sites, action-oriented campaigns and social networks along the lines of MySpace and Facebook. Lullabot, a Drupal development firm that involved in much of the Drupal development, has a keen interest in Drupal for nonprofits.

In this post I am sharing list of such comparison matrix sites which I have bookmarked and using from long time...

Winamp Player Concept 

This Winamp player concept looks real cool. How do you want it to be? A touch screen jobby or a proper physical metal buttons and a nice toggey-clickety action for shuffle/repeat? If the faceplates can be changed, I would like to get a Wii skin.

Drupal 6 and OpenID

Well, it's been a couple days and the news has been on the front page of drupal.org, but I am very excited by the fact that the Drupal 6 will officially support OpenID. It's taken a lot of work, so it feels really really nice to have it done. I wanted to post to (hopefully) answer some common questions that I've received and seen about the module:

While often regarded as a platform for people to share their personal stories, a blog can also be used to tell the story of an organization. Whether showcasing your work, offering behind-the-scenes glimpse into your nonprofit, highlighting the people you serve, or advocating a particular point of view, a blog can be a powerful - and influential - communication and public-relations tool for your organization.

A review of open source content management systems

Many companies are interested in the possibilities of content management, to help them build websites which are easy to maintain. But the prohibitive cost of most commercial content management systems (CMSs) can be a put off. Open source CMSs offer a cost effective way to build a "content managed website". In this series of articles, we review some of the better known offerings, and explain how they could be put to use within an organisation.

Camping out with the Drupallers in Seattle

The Seattle Drupal Users Group met for a Drupal Camp yesterday. It was an all day affair, with Drupal developers hiding out in one room learning about such things as theming and jviews with Robin Barre and noobs like me in a larger room with Gregory Heller from CivicActions doing a so-called Barn Raising. Donald Lobo from CiviCRM also happened to be there and we took adantage of the opportunity to sign a contract and review the specs for the CiviCRM component of the Kabissa African Voices project. It feels good to be implementing CiviCRM at long last, after years of planning and false starts with other vendors, and I very much like the way we are doing it.
