To effectively promote Drupal in Norway, the norwegian Drupal site Drupal Norge (http://drupalnorge.no) will be giving away Drupal websites to 100 non-government organizations in Norway. The goal of this undertaking is to give awareness to the power of the magnificent open-source web publishing platform Drupal, in Norway.

According to Drupal Norge:

A lot of websites of non-government organizations in Norway are just static pages which are seldom updated. These NGOs play very important roles in the norwegian society. By giving them a dynamic site, their horizons will broaden and can give better help to the norwegian people. This project, aside from promoting the use of Drupal in Norway, is our own little way of contributing something not only to Drupal but also to the norwegian society at large.

Drupal Norge will also give free support on maintaining the websites in norwegian through their support page to be found at http://www.drupalnorge.no/support

The process for selection is to be announced at Drupal Norge's website in the near future. In the meantime, interested parties can send an e-mail by using the contact form.

The norwegian version of this announcement is sent to norwegian newspapers and major norwegian websites.

CiviCRM (http://civicrm.org) is designed to manage data for NGO's :) So we'd love if you would include the CiviCRM module as part of this. We at civicrm.org will provide whatever support is needed to make this happen

We have been receiving emails from organizations who are presently using Joomla, or other CMSs. The purpose of this project is not to buy out/steal away users of different CMSs but to help organizations who doesn't have the capacity to set up a dynamic site on their own.

And of course, your organization's purpose is very important. A form will be available at Drupal Norge later.
