Sounds great

Really interested in coming along to this. Is it a way for us to help these organisations better understand/use Drupal? Particularly for social change?

I'm in.

Mebbe

Am hoping to make it, but it's shortly after my return to the UK.

I won't have much to say about the migration we're doing, as the main efforts will be taking place through late july / aug, so something for then, or the sept meet.

With bells on

I'll definitely be there, although I'll be mostly using my ears... Thanks for setting this up Rob.

Count me in

See ya there.

Count me in again

Might be in a position to give a v brief preview of a new mapping module: http://drupal.andrewl.net if it's of interest.

Registration for Drupal for NGOs

I haven't set anything up for this - you recommend using Eventbrite, yeah? Let me check with Tracy to see if GPUK needs a list of attendees in advance - if so, I'll set up Eventbrite and ask people to register.

Thanks, Robert :)

Thank you all - for letting me listen in.

Dear Drupal for NGOs attendees. Thanks for letting me crash the event and join you by phone. It was great to hear about your projects and get some more solid leads on how we might organize out here.

Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to join the next event with a better connection.

Best Regards,

Joshua Robert Wiese
Every Human Has Rights, Campaign Team.

ps. apologies for all the annoying beeps as I disconnected and reconnected to your meeting.

Nice one

Cheers for organising a really useful meeting.

I've got a bunch of feedback I'd like to contribute, as well as ideas that have come up since last night's meeting.

However, I'm not sure that this comment thread is the best way of doing it.

Since there was chat about using this 'Drupal for NGOs' Organic Group as a site for discussion, perhaps someone could enable posting/creating discussions in this group (i.e. not just events)?

Cheers,

James

Enabled

I've enabled a few other content types for the group - see top left block.
For discussions I suggest creating a blog post with your ideas, then we'll all pile in with comments.

email digests

yes, thanks all for a great event. really great to see the internationalization of this movement.

we've got a variety thoughts, questions, feedback, hopes and dreams we'd like to share and work on together... discussions, forums, projects, knowledge-base, installation profiles etc etc...

critical however is to able to set-up/receive digests, as i fear an onslaught of emailed single comments/replies to comments etc. (you know, where users can set for daily/weekly, etc)

onward ho!
