 Alright, if you just got here, sorry I'm going to have to catch you all up. No, let's just get started. I had a bunch of great obligatory jokes about Texas that I was going to use, but let's just skip those and get started. Welcome everyone to the session, Websites for the Middle Child, How Open Aid is Helping Midsize Non-profits. My name is Clayton Dewey. I'm a developer with Atten Design Group and co-maintainer of Open Aid, a Drupal distribution for non-profits and NGOs. I'm also a proud parent of three children, which we'll come into play later in the session. A little bit more about Atten Design Group. We are a web strategy design and development shop based in Denver. Started back in 2000. We've been working with Drupal for quite a while. I think Drupal 5, maybe even earlier. We work with people doing good in the world, whether they be non-profits, non-governmental organizations, international aid organizations, journalist organizations, higher education institutions. So that's our thing. So let's go back to a time before Open Aid. Let's go back all the way back to the early aughts. A time when Clayton Dewey was a young anarcho punk with lots of ideals and was happy to have a dorm room. I don't know what's in the bag there, but back in those days I got together with a developer friend of mine and we launched a site called the Rocky Mountain Resistor that we thought was going to change the world and in a small way, maybe it did. It was fun to look back. Thank you archive.org for this domestic partnership. It was fun to look at these two headlines. Domestic partnership in Colorado now has at least civil marriage. It's still illegal based on the Constitution, but that and then Florida farm workers visiting with Chipotle and that's a successful campaign. Chipotle agreed to their demand. It's cool to look back and see the two articles there and the gains that have been made since then. So yay. Yeah. And so that's how I got into Drupal was hobbyist, activist just on my own. Like there's no staff, no funds for this. And it was a lot of fun. I went on to be a public school teacher for five years, got burnt out by the public school system and decided I wanted to do something else and returned back to Drupal and got really interested in its aspects, especially around its identity as an open source technology, the community around it. And then came in touch with Atten Design and they do good for the world with Drupal and I wanted to do good for the world with Drupal and so it was a great fit. And still this is before open aid. Atten Design worked with and continues to work with a lot of those different organizations doing good in the world. And in that time we discovered that there were certain feature sets that are very common for nonprofits and NGOs and these probably won't come as a surprise to all of you in the audience but I'll just kind of talk through a few of those briefly. So for the International Center for Journalists we built a blog platform for them which had blog posts that tied to author profiles. For the International Center for Transitional Justice we built a news section that was very similar in terms of functionality. And then I guess what else we built? We built blog news. For another project we built a blog and news section. This is for knowledge for health. And so again when we continue to do this we continue to see this feature set, probably not a surprise to everyone. Another common feature set is project mapping. This is a great way to demonstrate an organization's impact in a geographically dispersed area, in this case globally. So again this is for ICFJ. Project mapping, well program mapping in this case for ICTJ. And then field activities for knowledge for health. And of course each of these had their own particular set of needs but as we can see there's kind of some common functionality that we're seeing here. And it was this organization Knowledge for Health that we started to have these conversations about this, about these common feature sets that nonprofits and aid organizations see and need. And in the case for Knowledge for Health they have affiliate organizations that are part of that larger group and they had the need of being able to spin up new sites for these affiliate organizations. And launching websites not a simple easy task but we decided well they are looking for a lot of the same features. Let's build a distribution that we can use to help their team quickly and more easily roll out websites for these affiliate organizations. And so that is where OpenAid came from originally. So we worked with Knowledge for Health, Johns Hopkins and USAID to build OpenAid, a distribution for NGOs and nonprofits. And so we'll talk a little bit about some of those organizations. So Knowledge for Health or K for Health for Short works with global health issues. And here are some of those affiliate organizations. So one is Stop Cholera. And they work to ensure that populations who are at risk of cholera benefit from receiving the oral cholera vaccine or OCV. And so this website helps or this website houses information about OCV research around it. Another organization is Voices for Malaria Free Future. And they work with the private sector in various African countries to help promote best practices around malaria prevention particularly with soccer teams and sort of leveraging the celebrity status of sports figures to help promote that amongst the population. M Health Working Group works with mobile technology and how that can help positively impact global health practices. So those are just three of those affiliate organizations that now have their own specific web presence thanks to OpenAid. Now that we've talked just briefly about that, I'll kind of dive into the future set of OpenAid a little bit more. So the features that come with OpenAid. We've talked a bit about some of those. The need for a blog, link to author profiles, image gallery is another one, project mapping as I kind of alluded to earlier, resource library and a responsive theme. So let's take a closer look at some of those. So the homepage to start with. So here again is Voices for a Malaria Free Future. At the top of the homepage we have an image carousel to highlight featured content. Off to the right is a hero block. So this is a place for an organization to include a attention grabbing, compelling statement about the organization and the work they do. Scrolling down further we have a river of news content. This is the latest updates teaser view of typically this blog post but really this can pull from any content type that's part of OpenAid if you, and then flagging it as promoted to the front page will get that content up here. To the right of that is a partners block. And this is scrollable because we've found that there is, there can be some important sort of political implications of being able to feature all partners or at least certain partners on the homepage that's an important thing to have to do for certain organizations. That status is important to those partners. So there if you have more than three be able to feature all of them and be able to scroll through them. Further down the page then we have the project map and so each point here is a project node and I'll talk a little bit more about that in just a minute. Social media block below that and then a simple footer. The theme is responsive out of the box and so at smaller screen sizes we see the collapsed menu. The image carousel is using flex slider so it works great on any device and then the latest updates and other content falls below that. So the project mapping. So projects is a content type so each project is its own node and here's just the general projects landing page. We have a teaser view of all of the projects that's then paginated if need be and then off to the right again is that project map and we're currently using open layers for that in open aid 2 which I'll speak to in just a minute we'll be using leaflet for that. Here's the back end. Here's the location field so using open layers you would then select the point at which you would like that project to reside and display on the map. Here's a look at the project detail page and so we have the title body field. This Google map here is just an embedded map into the body field itself. And then off to the right we see that download section so there's a file field there associated with the project type to be able to upload files that are relevant to that project. Below that is a... you'll see like right below the map is that link to partners so one can associate partner or partners that are involved in that project and then again off to the right is that project map again and so selecting a point on that project map provides an overlay with a link to the title of the project to then click into that detail page. The resource library so this is a great place for an organization who has original content to be able to organize and display those resources in an easy to find manner for site visitors. And so here's a look again at the resources page as a list of resources with post date and title and description if there is one and then the various filtering options off to the right. And here's a look at a specific resource page and so title, content type, post date, description link to the original file and then some tagging so resource type and then the language. The image gallery is another feature that we discovered is a helpful one for organizations especially if they're international or geographically dispersed again. If an organization has a constituency that's across the globe then some constituencies might not be as familiar with certain regions that they're operating in and so an image gallery is a great way and just media in general is a great way to add a little bit more connection between supporters and the work that's being done abroad. And so here's a look at the general photo gallery so each of these galleries we have a thumbnail of one image from the gallery it's the most recently added image and some description text and so the way this is set up is that each we have an image content type and so each image is its own node and then the galleries are part of a gallery vocabulary and so each gallery is a taxonomy term and then so then image nodes are then tagged with the relevant gallery terms. So here's a look at one gallery and all of the images associated with it and then here's a specific image node page and so again because this is a content type then there's some additional fields to add metadata to the image such as photographer attribution the data was taken and of course like with any of this this is Drupal so this can be extended of course. The blog is a lot like what you saw in the previous screenshots of past projects we have just a blog landing page that displays a teaser view of each blog post sorted in by post-date filters them by month and topic and then a link off to the side for author profiles and an author profile is a content type that can then be associated to a blog post. Here's a look at the blog detail page so pretty straightforward title, post-date, the author profile if they've associated with an author node body text and then off to the right again that same filter set and list of author profiles and then the author profile detail page looks like this and so we heard first of how Open Aid came about originally to help knowledge for health and so it's a really good use case for organizations that have a lot of affiliate organizations that need websites spun up. Another use case is for organizations that are limited on time and budget and this was the case with the new climate economy and so the new climate economy is a simpler, catchier name for the global commission on the economy and the climate and this is a new international initiative to analyze and communicate the economic benefits and costs of acting on climate change. So these are former world leaders and just leaders in the private sector who are working to advocate for companies to be involved in the climate change, I don't know, movement to help address climate change and they needed their website to launch and it was not a lot of time I think we developed it for two weeks there was some time ahead of time just to establish identity and goals but the actual development time was even, yeah, two weeks, even kind of shorter, like a week and a half because they needed to launch this site in time for the United Nations General Assembly they had a high profile press release that was coinciding with that and they came to us pretty late in the game needing a website and initially we thought I don't know if that's a practical thing to do but we looked at their feature set and their requirements and realized that it matched up really well with OpenAid and so we pitched that idea and they were like, yeah, that sounds great so we used OpenAid as a starting point and then just had to adjust a couple of things with the theme add a few basic pages and rename the blog content type to news and we were able to launch well within the timeframe they were looking at and this is going to get into where I get really passionate about things in a second so here's just a look at their approach landing page their news section this is the blog that was altered to be a news section so yeah and I'm like 16 minutes into this presentation and you're probably wondering Clayton, what about the middle child? You've had into your session titles absurdly long you haven't mentioned it at all there's no mention of the middle child well thank you for hypothetically bringing that up audience, I'll tell you why I haven't mentioned the middle child yet and that's because the middle child is always ignored and I'm trying to make a point by not talking about the middle child as evidenced by this image here and I don't know if there's any other image that evokes the same kind of emotion as this one does for me I don't know if it's some amusement and just sadness but it's like the expression is so perfect and I can say that I'm an expert in this field of the middle child condition because I was the oldest of three and so I know what it's like to be the older brother of a middle child here is a picture of myself and my brother Vernon this is before he was the middle child look at how happy he was he's just so full of life and cuteness and then let's just fast forward to this time wow he's just not impressed he just kind of hates everything just zooming in a little bit closer the crossed arms, the scowls from years of being overlooked it's rough so let's dive a little bit deeper into the characteristics of a middle child because this is a great metaphor this just translates perfectly to a mid-sized nonprofit this is going to be very valuable use of everyone's time trust me so the middle child what are the characteristics that define the middle child well first of all they're extremely annoying you're in your 7th grade you started your awesome grunge band called Kermudgeon it was named after an obscure Nirvana song and you're having a great time with your cool friends and then all of a sudden your younger brother comes in with his recorder and is like hey guys can I join your band no get out of here Vernon and that leads me to the second thing they cry babies they start crying about that and that goes on to the next thing which is their tattletales they tell their mom mom I want to be in the band let me in the band and then you have to and they ruin your band that's the characteristic of a middle child this carries over even to into my own children take a look at this family photo and see if you can identify who is the middle child of my 3 it might take a second yeah that's right Ember with the Mario t-shirt this is like the 7th shot I had closed my eyes in all of them before that and then he throws this in the run he does this and of course I'm joking because I love Ember and I love my brother he's like one of my best friends actually he lives 5 minutes away and I love Ember so much I had this statue commissioned for him in his honor you can go to city park in Denver and see it for yourself so so yeah so what can we draw from the middle child analogy so the middle child non-profit so the characteristics again would be maybe it's the title tails no that's not actually that's not fair so I'll be serious now so the middle child well let's first kind of define what I'm talking about because this isn't actually a great descriptor of the kind of non-profit I'm talking about the kind of non-profit I'm talking about is complex in the sense that it might be an organization that is distributed and working on issues geographically dispersed could be an organization that has more than one project going on multiple projects and then organizations that are media rich so really this isn't even necessarily mid-sized non-profits in terms of budget or staff numbers but just simply a non-profit that is basically is doing more than what a blog or a static page would warrant their characteristic is that they're broke they don't have a lot of money and again this is so mid-sized non-profit is not very accurate because there are a ton of non-profits that are in this situation and of course broke is a relative term but just looking at U.S. non-profits we can see this breakdown this is all non-profits that reported their total assets to the IRS and so there are U.S. non-profits in this status that's a ton of non-profits so there are a lot of organizations out there that just cannot afford a feature rich website and yet they're doing amazing badass work and so they're limited in tech resources they're limited in budget and what all too often ends up happening is that they end up in a situation like this right they end up in a WordPress site just using bloggers some of them don't even have websites and there are some really small non-profits community groups where this suffices and this is fine but there's a lot of organizations where they're doing more work than what something like WordPress or a simple blogging platform can handle and can do justice so I'll just point to one example so this is the indigenous environmental network they're one of these groups that I admire a lot they do amazing work and yet they're because they have limited tech resources because they have limited financial resources they're kind of pigeonholed into a WordPress site where they have a ton of rich content but it almost becomes a sort of design liability it's difficult it can be difficult to find the content as a user that one would need and some of that can be addressed with information architecture and content strategy but a lot of this is just the limitations of the platform they're on and this has serious impacts on the type of work that an organization can do and my experience is that these organizations that have limited web presences are making up for this if they're on the groundwork they're doing incredible work outside of their website and that's great but obviously that's still impacting the work that they're doing it impacts reputation which leads to funding respect from the media and impacts followers and their ability to engage with people if I'm a user and I'm coming to the site it's difficult for me to know where to start or how to get involved or how to follow the work that they're doing and as we scroll down it's just the amount of campaigns they're working on the issues is incredible but it's not this is not doing their work justice and it's getting in the way of it's not a tool that's helping facilitate the work that they could be doing and of course I'm not harping on them because this is an organization because this is the reality for so many organizations that they just do not have the resources and they probably probably had someone sympathetic to their cause throw up a WordPress site for them and they were just happy even with that and this is where something like OpenAid I think can really make a huge impact when we look through that feature set if you're a Drupal developer creating a blog is not that significant the project mapping is a little bit more complex but really it's just these out of the box Drupal driven solutions that aren't being kind of used or tapped into so OpenAid can be one of those answers it's not the only one but it's one and it's one that we're contributing back and wanting to see used in this use case so one example is the Arab Resource Collective and again they rolled their own theme it's not super fancy as a designer I'd look at this and be like ok but if you compare it to the indigenous environmental network it's clean it's easy to find the information that one needs and so this is an organization based in Lebanon as it just they just took this on their own no staff no real funding enrolled this on their own and because because OpenAid and Drupal in general just has a better content modeling system than some of these other platforms I mentioned they're able to have these well structured sites another example is Metipiece this is a group based in Seoul and they work they work around disaster stricken and conflict stricken issues and so again like small staff they're able to use OpenAid to establish a nice solid clean web presence and so when I joined the company OpenAid had already been launched but I started talking with Justin the owner and some of the other employees and how I was excited about taking this product that we put out there we release the project and doing a little bit more with it so we looked at OpenAid and we decided like one of the first things we wanted to do was work on a new theme and in that process we kind of struggled to find the time and momentum to drive forward OpenAid too and so we came up with the idea of finding a grassroots organization that we could partner with and help move that forward and then that would one like kind of obligate us a little bit more even though this is on our non-billable time to work on OpenAid if we knew that there was an organization that was kind of counting on us that we would figure out a way to work that into our schedules and then the second thing is that before I got into Drupal one thing I encountered often was this gap between techies and activists and techies having these really cool ideas but then not being grounded in the actual needs of activists and nonprofits and grassroots organizations so we didn't want to fall into that same trap so we thought that partnering with a with an organization would help ground that and help us guide this sort of decisions and priorities that we needed to make in developing OpenAid too so that's what we did sorry everyone for doing that I couldn't help so I approached Justin our owner and I was like alright I'm going to talk to Justin I'm going to pitch this idea where I'm going to suggest that we work with an organization that has very little money or no money to to give us and just work with them anyway I don't know if he's going to think that's a good idea but whatever I'm just going to go into his office and talk about it so I sit down we start talking about like hey I think it would be good to partner with a nonprofit organization and he's like now I just had him like yeah totally totally and then he's like stops and he's like interesting which is usually what he says when he doesn't like an idea and I was like maybe I shouldn't suggest my next suggestion which is a nonprofit that doesn't have any money he's like alright I got this idea how about we work with the most broke grassroots nonprofit we can find just like do it for free and so I was like okay cool I guess that is actually a good idea so we did that so I went on Facebook and I was like hey our company is making this cool distribution it's open source anyone need a new website and you know we got a couple of people interested and here's just a few so advocates for environmental human rights are doing a lot of really cool work around environmental justice and environmental racism a local group in Colorado the elephant circle they helped pass a law in 2010 that prohibits the shackling of incarcerated women during labor which you would think is just not legal but in Colorado it was which is insane and they helped improve some laws in 2011 around the regulation of home midwives and birth midwives the Mississippi workers center for human rights doing some really awesome work around living wage battles and again environmental racism issues the Navajo Nation government which is the largest indigenous nation in the United States and a ton more these are just a few and some of these where it's still in talks with them like once open aid too is rolled out maybe we can coordinate some barn raising events to help them get on that platform but we finally settled on the housing rights network it's a pretty new network and actually the housing rights network is not their official name they're still like deliberating on that but the organizations that are involved in the network are not that new a lot of them have been around for a while and we chose to work with them because they fit sort of the middle child characteristics that I talked about before they're geographically distributed they have organizations in Detroit Chicago, Madison, Miami New York City, San Francisco and it's a network that's continuing to grow and gain momentum another reason is that there are various organizations are making a lot of news they're doing a lot of interesting edgy and inspiring work around foreclosures around unlawful evictions and they have a lot of original resources and so one thing that characterizes a lot of them is that they're organizing civil disobedience actions called eviction blockades and and I can talk afterwards about the politics behind that because it brings up a lot of different opinions from people but essentially they have a huge need for a resource library because these eviction blockades again they're illegal they're acts of civil disobedience and so there's a lot of questions around how to coordinate something like that how to do it safely like the legal repercussions because that varies state to state and they're just at this point they're just inundated with phone calls and questions from people who are like we're at this point we want to organize this we have a ton of questions about it and so developing this resource library is going to be really great to be able to direct people to these questions that come up repeatedly for them and be able to to free themselves to be doing other work so we're really excited to work with them and their current situation is like we've seen earlier is that they're using these much more simple sort of platforms to establish a web presence so the Chicago anti eviction campaign is using blogger take back the land I think it's just like this custom rolled website that works very poorly it took forever for that page to load for me to even take a screenshot eviction free San Francisco is probably the most solid website and this one actually stands on pretty well I'd say given the size and the funding of the organization so that's a little bit about the housing rights network who we decided to partner with to drive Open Aid to forward and so we went through a similar process that we would with any client we started with a project kickoff call which we learned more about the clients personally who they are as people to this work their passions what the goals of the organization are and then we worked with them around audience and defining target audience and what they wanted like what conversion looks like for a nonprofit and for their websites and then went into content maps and in those talks I kind of came up with these points but I feel like I'm still always learning a little more and more about the needs of nonprofits but these are some of them that I found which is that the platform is approachable it's easy to work with it has an intuitive interface whatever it is it's well documented because typically you're handing this over to an organization they're not going to have the funds to have a prolonged support contract with a development shop or even a freelancer sometimes it's there on their own so things need to be well documented if they need to customize something or apply a security update something like that that it's easy to install that it's flexible I hear these horror stories all the time of organizations working and having this website launch and it looks the way they want it to look at the time but then the ability to then customize it sometimes it's just simply even changing out some of the content is extremely difficult and the platform is brittle and they're just stuck in this in this website they can't grow with a responsive theme I think these days this just needs to happen that it's stable I know sometimes on our end we get excited about new features but the more I've talked with nonprofits a lot of times they value that stability more than this cool new features being rolled out all the time and then it's supported in some way and this is something that I'll talk about a little bit later in the presentation and sort of the challenge around that but so here is here are the comps for open aid 2 that I'm really excited about and so we decided it needed to be simple it needed to be beautiful and engaging so that so that it is flexible that simplicity allows for that flexibility and so we start with a large attention getting marquee section here the text in yellow and the link text which is white are both customized you can change that easily the link can either be to an internal page or external page and again these features are not providing features for Drupal developer but they're small but they're really important if we scroll down further we have the project map which looks kind of funny in this comp because there's only two projects that are in there but usually if you're having projects you'll be featuring more than two anyway and then off to the right that's where that hero statement now lives that you saw earlier that was off to the right of the image carousel below that we have featured organizations so this is a teaser view of featured organizations which typically is going to be featured projects so I guess I should step back and say so for the housing rights network we're taking the project content type and just renaming it to organization because that's more relevant to them and further down the page there's the latest update section again but reworked there and another feature that we're developing here is the ability to swap out this latest updates block with evergreen content because we've learned that there's some organizations that for whatever reason they're not going to be like publishing news articles about themselves that frequently so if you have a latest update section and the last post is from a year and a half ago that goes back to that reputation issue and it just looks bad on the organization but maybe the work they're engaged in is more longer term it just doesn't make sense to write about it or maybe they just their content strategy they've decided that blogging actively on their website just is not serving their mission and so we need a way to accommodate for that and so this can be swapped out then with resources or some other evergreen content so they're not so the website is not a burden on them in that sense of like feeling like you need to constantly be churning out new content off to the right that take the pledge block is what we're calling a call to action block and so again that title text the body text and the link text can all be customized and you can also just replace that with a with a single image and that'll link out to wherever you specify there can be up to three blocks there off to the right the partners block below that we opted out from using that scrollable functionality because it's just a little bit goofy on mobile devices and then yeah the social media block down next to a simple fitter and then for the this is a comp for the projects page or in this case is an organization page so title body some related links those are link fields a contact section and then below is the project map again and then a thumbnail from the associated image gallery and if they have more than one image gallery then that's the view all link that you see off to the right next to the view gallery below that we have the latest updates from an organization and so this is a new this is a small bit new and I think sort of important feature that we're adding which is the ability to reference projects to news articles and the same goes for photo galleries and so for some of these organizations this is actually going to this will be their web presence this is actually more robust and suited for their needs then then there then their own website is and then off to the right we have the resources block so again and we're we're adding that the ability and opening to to be able to reference a project to resources so so yeah that's opening to we're really excited about it the features that doesn't change too much but there's a couple of important tweaks that I'm really excited about that just makes that project page just really a bit more rich but we decided as a first priority that was that was really the big thing that we wanted to prioritize was a new design and now we have lots of next steps it's exciting to think of all the different directions that we can take it in we've talked about adding something like red hen or CV CRM interaction with it we talked about adding a donation functionality events and so sort of be dependent on the input we receive from the community some of these will be able to build out in contracts similar to what we did with Knowledge for Health so that it's paid work but the organization wants it built back into open aid which is always really exciting and as far as when open aid 2 will be released we're in the middle of implementing the theme now almost all the back end functionalities complete and so we're going to make a big push to try and get this ready for the allied media conference at the end of June because the housing rights network folks are going to be there and it would just be really fun to have it launched for them then but we will see if not then say like one to three months is our timeline for that so next I'm just going to make a pitch to get involved the best way to get involved if you're interested in open aid as a project is to join the group groups.drupal.org slash open aid this is a place to ask questions about open aid if you're organizing a barn raising event you can post an event to the page we're going to we've started to be more active on this group page and we're going to continue to be even more active in terms of announcing features announcing times that people can sprint on the project so that's the first and foremost best way to get involved if you're interested as a developer or an end user another way this was a really cool thing that happened there was a hackathon that took place in Mumbai, India where some developers used open aid to revamp an NGO's website we didn't even heard of this company they just kind of did out the blue and found out about it on twitter which was really, really neat of course you can download open aid it's project page drupal.org slash project slash open aid and issue queue of course is a good place to look although I'd say if you're a developer looking to contribute this is a good way to kind of see the current status of open aid one but if you're interested in open aid two you should join that group so there's an issue queue we have an IRC channel because everyone has an IRC channel and I'm always I've always have it open so you can go in there and ask a question it's a great way to get real time response and openaiddistro.org is sort of our main marketing page for it and following us on twitter at openaid distro is also a great way to keep up with updates and social media stuff so thank you everyone you can follow me at claybolto on twitter cedui is my drupal handle so you can send me a private message that way as well and so now I think we have 5 or 10 minutes if there are any questions otherwise people can go eat dinner and then yeah and then if you have a question if you want to just come to the mic because this is being recorded and then people watching it can hear your question alright thanks for your talk I appreciate your time two part question first is a distribution geared towards production and development or can the NGO just spin it themselves and get started with it started out of the box but I would say it's more common for people to start with openaid and then customize it from there so it's definitely meant for that as well in that case you're going to want to just take responsibility from it from there and treat it more like an install profile where you will be the one to update the module make security updates I guess I'm not sure your background so I don't know how technical we run a distribution we've done install profiles but just kind of learning how other people do it that's important to me my second part of my question was what's the blank canvas as soon as you run the install profile what's that look like everything that I showed up there is what you get out of the box you ran your install profile what would you say there's no content in there yeah so you would turn on a bunch of features as soon as you add a blog then it would show up in the blog post there as soon as you add a marquee node then it would show up in that image carousel although with openaid this is probably not going to happen in the first rollout but another thing that we want to do is provide sample content out of the box and other than that sample content just being lorem ipsum we're going to structure it so that the sample blog post is from a fictitious non-profit and is structured in an effective, like how you should be writing a blog post for the web because that's another aspect of this that we've discovered is that a lot of folks don't have a lot of experience writing for the web and they're great at writing for prints but not necessarily for the web so that sample content will be there too so that when you turn on the site it's not just this bare canvas but that and helpful information on how to write effectively how to take pictures effectively and use the marquee responsibly, that sort of thing yeah that's a similar problem that we were experiencing they spin it up and it's like okay what do I do now what do you think your strategy for your sample content is going to be like the migraine module or um maybe yeah we've thought about it we haven't settled on an approach I don't know if you have any suggestions because we're still we're still kind of batting that back before yeah I think we're probably in this similar spot but interesting to see how it plays out and what distro was it that you all we have an internal distro for wild corner medical college so a lot of times we're spinning up sites for like laboratories doing research they might have someone who's somewhat technical but they don't know Drupal yeah yeah cool yeah thank you before I knew about open aid I did a site with open outreach and I'm wondering if you can just tell me what the significant differences are yeah I think the easiest way to explain the differences is at the moment open outreach is more geared towards member based organizations and open aid is geared more towards project based organizations so in the sense that open outreach is a really good distribution if you're looking to actively engage your user base in campaigns signing up as members whereas open aid is a lot more about communicating one's message and that's because originally it came out of the international aid space now that we worked with the human rights network which is a lot more grassroots and members based the functionality is kind of shifting to encompass that as well so though open outreach I think frankly does a better job of that than open aid so if that's your priority then I would suggest that especially if you have the resources to take their theme and do something really great with it or at least something that works I know that their theme is pretty bare bones and so it's good for developers but if you're wanting something out of the box it's a little limiting and then can I ask one more question and I want to keep people from dinner and drinks and stuff but if anyone needs to leave I will be offended and I will see you at a party and I will confront you so this is a website it's a dog rescue organization and one of the one of the nodes is dedication so when people make a donation they can indicate that it's in memory of or in honor of somebody or a dog a person or a dog so I have a page of dedications of photos and then the text of the dedication and open outreach doesn't have an elegant way of dealing with that even as an image gallery because the text part of it is what's lacking I guess right I'm not sure the best suggestion for open outreach because I don't work with this much because I want to switch over to open yeah I mean that would be an advantage is because the image the way we handle images in open aid is an image there's an image content type so each image is its own node and so because of that one can add fields to the image content type and so provide the fields you're talking about an image great thank you alright well thank you everyone for coming enjoy dinner if you're interested again in open aid and also just in this general issue of getting dribble into the hands of nonprofits I love talking about that so find me on twitter hit me up after this session I'm not in a rush yet to go eat so yeah thanks everyone
