Hi, most of you know it, we want a new website since the current one got "released". It as always been an objective but never reached. A lot has been said on the subjet and the last time it was discussed, we agreed to use Drupal to build a community website for both regular Ubuntu-be members and casual visitors looking for information on Ubuntu and Ubuntu in Belgium. But thing are kinda freezed since this decisions. I've been trying to define base requirements for the site to help those knowing or testing Drupal to confirm the choice (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/2008/WebsiteRequirements). The idea was also to draw a path from where to start for whoever wanted to take the challenge.
The fact is that, as today, it has not produced many concrete results. There is still no production-ready website and no one talk about it since a long time. I don't blame anybody. Nobody is responsible of the absence of a new website. I just wanted the present what I consider the current state of the "project". Anyway, I don't post to complain. Rather I propose to organize a one day workshop with the simple objective of getting the a new website up. The idea is the get a small team of motivated people to meet somewhere (I propose my place) and to work together on it. We will need one or two Drupal "gurus" to set up a base website with the needed modules. One or two people to write the initial content (including rewriting or plain copy/paste of actual content) in one language (be it english, dutch or french). That for the base site. We will also need a coder or two to fill the gap between Drupal and the wanted Support Points Map (which should re-use Drupal members and features). I can handle JavaScript and PHP development, but I will need he help of a Drupal expert to quickly get into business without loosing time learning the API and inner working of the platform. So with four to six people we should be able to finally get a new website. Now, I just need a few positive answers and we need to set a date (presumably on a Saturday or a Sunday).
