Marc, et al: I'm a friend of Ben Horst's and Development Director of codeloom, a London-based Drupal shop (http://www.linkedin.com/company/854859). codeloom is prepared to consult on the transition of of the LibO site from SilverStripe to Drupal. We are, furthermore, prepared to offer our design expertise so that the finished LibO Drupal site works from a UI/UX point of view. Our Creative Director's portfolio can be viewed at http://giantbydesign.com/. In return for this we would expect a credit of some form on the finished LibO Drupal site. My first recommendation would be that you use Drupal 7 - currently in Beta. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this. -- Jim On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 8:58 PM, Marc Paré <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi everyone: I am just writing you as you had at some point, in the thread/discussion of a choice of CMS, expressed your desire to help out should a Drupal site be considered for LibreOffice. Now that the SC has come to a decision (a SilverStripe site will be created and later a Drupal site will be created and data from the SilverStripe will be migrated to the Drupal site), I thought it would be a good time to re-affirm our desire to create the LibO Drupal Website Team. So, are you still committed to help run a Drupal site? We can just start with a show of hands and then move on. Ben (Benjamin Horst) is working on a permanent Drupal site and he could maybe chime in with a reply as to what he considers as important first steps to raising a Drupal site. I have in the meantime, to stem the questions about the ability of the Drupal site to perform some of the conditions of a LibO site, I have created a LibO Drupal test site here: http://www.parEntreprise.ca . I can give you admin and ftp permissions if you need it for the test site. User logins are: LibO1; LibO2; LibO3; LibO4; LibO5. Please note that the login/pswrd are the same for each user account (example login for LibO1 pswrd: LibO1). Note that once we have a formal team, we could create a forum on the official LibO Drupal site to discuss issues etc. If we are going to create it then let's use it for real-life experience. Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks for your support, Marc -- Marc Paré http://www.parEntreprise.com
Hi Jim: Sorry, I can't speak for the TDF and cannot say if they would agree to these terms. I would have no problem with this though. I think this proposal would have to be put to Florian to start off with. I am sending this note off to you and to Florian.
