Drupal @ CPU
rbahaguejr - Mon, 2007-12-17 04:02

The Computer Professionals' Union has more than 10 deployments (for this year alone) of Drupal for non-profits with varying degree of participation from our volunteers. Most are training those organizations on Drupal CMS and guiding them on the set-up and actual site creation.

For the next year, we will continue to provide trainings for non-profits. We hope some of the members of this group can join us a volunteer (Thanks marc and DL!). In the process, you will get to know more on deploying Drupal on different organizations.

We will be releasing a Drupal deployment guide based on our experience to help the Drupal community in the country and non-profits early next year.

Our project called 3D Sessions (Down and Dirty with Drupal) will continue to channel volunteer talents to helping non-profits and people's organizations on drupal deployments. Here is a list of Drupal site we have been involved. CPU volunteers were involved on these efforts for free. It is always amazing to us how participants with average know-how on computers will eventually deploy drupal.

Actual deployments

If you want to be a volunteer, we have the following in line for early next year:
1. a site for lawyers (public interest law center)
2. enhancements for demolitionwatch.pinas.net
3. Drupal in a box for PO (people's organizations)
4. a collaboration site between computer geeks (cpu members) and creative geeks (artists)
5. Project people's web

So if you have free time, may be an hour or so every week, join us and be CPU volunteer.
