| | |This session will cover how Drupal can be used by activists, community organizers and other small teams of people (in any setting) to manage projects effectively. I'd love to discuss this with everyone interested in activism, project management and Drupal.
The session will cover:
- How activists can get the most out of Drupal by using a variety of tools
- What the Drupal community can do to facilitate better project management tools for activists
- When CiviCRM, Open Atrium and Activism Labs are each most suitable for a site
- A demo of Activism Labs, the tool I created this summer for Drupal as part of my Google Summer of Code project.
Drupal is very popular in the non-profit community and CiviCRM does a good job at helping users manage various aspects involved in running a non-profit. It does not have functionality for actually running a campaign or completing a project.
Open Atrium does a good job at providing a project management framework, but as an activist, I saw many places for improvement.
As a Google Summer of Code student for Drupal, I am developing modules to facilitate better project management. These tools are being developed at Activism Labs: http://activismlabs.org.
Excited to see Activism Labs,
Excited to see Activism Labs, and some of the tools you're highlighting for D6... Trellon is building a new, unified Activism framework for D7, which will allow any tool you can imagine to integrate into a complete activism stack. Basically it's a CRM/Activity/Reporting tool, where external code can interface for any of those parts. We've already gotten started porting CiviCRM to D7...
Anyway, if you're interested in Activism and Drupal, we'd love to see you at http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/drupal-change-building-open-framework... - building a new Activism framework for D7. Personally, I'll be at both :) .
