OpenAds , an open source ad server (very cool) just got tons of $ in financing. Because of the nature of open source, more money in the open source ecosystem is a good thing, and it is my belief that unlike “voodoo economics&# this will actually be a tide that lifts all boats. {

From providing accessible content for people with disabilities, to creating fully usable functionality, to support for multiple languages, we wanted to learn about the benefits people are creating using web and mobile technology. Build accessibility into your existing Drupal workflow - This is different than just seeking to be 508-compliant.

Most often nonprofits want to capture information from web users. The organization wants to capture the demographic details, as well as make sure that data is synchronized with the data they might already have on that web user, so they can track their constituents over time.

I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. at 1:50 pm Modx is wonderful for adaptability (especially as a web dev) and sNews – just keep watching, no instant install as yet, still young, but wow – amazing since only one really lightweight simple php file!

I’ll be the project manager on their big new client database project, and help them think about how far to dip their toes into Web 2.0. 1200/month for an old and therefore crappy custom CMS and not much support. I think my clients benefit from one particular thing that I think is pretty unique.

First is the wholesale movement toward the three major open source CMS platforms/frameworks, Drupal , Joomla and Plone. Second is that Linux servers seem to have made very serious inroads into nonprofit organizations, such that they are becoming almost commonplace. Third, almost everyone uses Firefox, or at least knows about it.

Maybe we’ll see a downloadable virtual machine with MPower installed running off a SQLite db. :-) I’m also hoping to see some modules for integration with Drupal put together. 3 Josiah Ritchie 04.16.08 at 7:48 pm Also, they will allow anyone to register for the community at this point.

of nonprofit organizations whose website is stuck behind a custom CMS – one that was written by some web development shop or another, and migration off of that custom CMS is going to be a nightmare. It’s also the time for web developers to let their babies go, and start building their business on a well-developed CMS.

I am thinking that this might be a good model for how we can do it with Drupal, but that’s a subject for another post. at 7:46 pm Like everything in Drupal land, there is code for that… though the quality varies widely. With joshk as the maintainer, the quality should be better than average.

The single largest CMS used was Drupal, at 15%, followed by Plone and Joomla (approx 8% each.) There is some great food for thought, although in some ways, the results aren’t so surprising. Most people (67%) want an easy to use interface. Most people (57%) also want ongoing support.

Apache is arguably the best web server software on the planet – and it is owned and run by a nonprofit organization (the Apache Foundation). Drupal, Joomla is run by a foundation, as is Mozilla and many others. David 2 admin 09.03.07

FOSS that is accessible, popular, and widely-used-by-amateur-home-hobbyists (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla) is fully of non-credible, immature, open source advocates. at 1:42 pm Yeah, well, I just spent 12 work hours coding around the bugs in Internet Explorer, so it’s not just FOSS that isn’t free. This of course is rubbish.

For background, in the 3 previous NMC conferences I have been involved with since starting my job there in 2006- we’ve done mainly a “tag this conference” approach where we ask people to tag photos, web sites, blog posts e.g. 2006 , 2007 , 2008 where I cobbled together some summary pages using mainly my own Feed2JS code.
