Hello
In my personal opinion:
The OSScamp Website is pretty broken and needs a major architectural upgrade to be a perfect example of what a community can achieve when it sets its heart to it. There is a general lack of features and usability is a major issue on this website. Even though Drupal is a robust platform, I still haven't been able to utilize it completely.
I ask myself the question: How can we fix this website by overcoming the flaws of one individual? And I answer myself: By involving the community.
Please treat this blog post as the point where we can discuss the changes and fixes this website needs and where we can commit and contribute our efforts.
What should be the objectives of the redesign?
- Make it easy for people to register at and participate at various events
- Provide a platform to open source projects to promote themselves and get support
- Provide enough opportunities for members to interact amongst themselves and network with each other
- Provide for sharing of ideas and knowledge in the open source domain
- Exhibit what a community can achieve with its efforts
- Provide a base Drupal Distribution (Install Profile) for communities like us, so that they can simply set up a powerful community website and focus on their initiatives.
Who can contribute to the development of this website?
- Drupal Developers can help build the website
- Drupal Themers can help theme the website
- Graphics People can help Drupal Themers with creating the theme
- Everyone one else can help with ideas and testing the website
