Add Propeople in Drupal services listing

I just set the component we use in these requests.

Hi moscovici,

Generally speaking when these don't receive a positive reaction it's because the individual needs to do more in the community to improve their reputation. Whether that means your contributions are not strong/diverse enough or that people aren't aware of them is unclear to me.

I suggest you review the recently fixed applications or some of the previous discussions (this search is not as good) and you will see how other companies have been successfully added (or not). Based on that you can see what kinds of contributions and profiles match with inclusion on that page.

Do you have any other contributions other than sponsoring, which could be seen as mainly marketing (I don't think being an Acquia Partner counts as a community contribution)?

marked #1123652: Propeople as a duplicate of this issue

Besides opening a duplicate issue trying to get their listing push through, they've also now posted to the new marketplace and have been approved despite the presence of this issue. I don't know who approved that, but it shouldn't have been...

posting to the marketplace after being told no in not one but two issues, is unacceptable (regardless of the 'preview' status of the marketplace. It also demonstrates exactly the wrong kind of behavior for those who want to get listed. Unpublishing the listing and wont fixing this one. sheesh.

I agree with WorldFallz perspective, however I believe that there has been some communication from the DA (Megan Sanicki) inviting companies who the DA has previously received a donation from to submit themselves to the preview marketplace.

We need an update from Megan or Jacob on how/why the new marketplace is supposed to work before we pass judgment (like in #9) on these companies.

Hi guys!

As community manager at Propeople I guess I should add some more information because its not obvious enough yet ;)

Propeople is constantly supporting Drupal and the community.

Here are some examples of our recent actions in addition to the financial support of several events (Drupalcons and Camps like the DrupalCamp Stanford 2011)

In January we have organized the first DrupalCamp in Bulgaria, Sofia: www.drupalcamp.bg/en

With about 200 attendees, 2 tracks (English & Bulgarian) in 2 days it was a successful international event covered in the Bulgarian IT media.

Several Meetups & Drupal Thursday's in Sofia were organized by us. http://groups.drupal.org/bulgaria


As the initiator and co-organizer of the most recent event, the Drupal Government Days in Brussels I supported the popularization of Drupal for Governments. www.drupalgovdays.org

Sessions at several events (Drupalcons, Camps & Meetups), trainings & cooperation with universities are additional actions.

Currently we are concentrating on how to contribute code in future. Recently we have contributed the OpenPublic Europe Theme

Please consider our listing again.

Thanks,
Ivo Radulovski

Setting to postponed pending a status update from Megan of Jacob.

If the criteria for getting listed has been changed to "Buy a Membership and get listed" we should link to the issue/group page where that discussion took place.

Hi Bill,

Setting to postponed pending a status update from Megan of Jacob.

How is our application for the marketplace now related to a status update by Megan or Jacob as we cleared out that point here (#11) & here (#12)

If the criteria for getting listed has been changed to "Buy a Membership and get listed" we should link to the issue/group page where that discussion took place.

This statement obviously ignores Mihai's & my post - if there are any points we have to discuss about contributions Im glad to answer.

The post that was relevant before post #11 & #12 is here: http://drupal.org/node/1103306

+thousands of hours spent talking to people about Drupal.... and other stuff that I could write down if needed ;)

I'm going to give this my personal +1. I know that they posted twice and then there was the confusion caused by the DA's e-mail (which still confuses me), but this is obviously a company on "the right track" and I'd say that they have enough of a track record at this point to warrant inclusion. I'm not sure if others will share my feelings, but I can say that you are 100% on the right track and you should be listed soon(ish).

Keep up the contributions and thanks for your patience with this process. It may be a pain in the rear, but ultimately it's one of the only means the community has to convince companies to contribute in a meaningful way.

Thanks!

I agree with Alex's perspective here that there was a mixup (no fault of Propeople) and that they are showing great, sustained involvement.

+1 from me as well.

+1 from me as well - it definitely seems like the terms have changed, and that Propeople got caught in the middle of it.

Changing status.

yep, i remove my reservations-- definitely +1.

Thanks!

@segments, feel free to either post your listing on your own, or post the updated version here and I'll post it when I can get around to it.

Hi,

you can use this profile: http://drupal.org/node/1121378

Thanks,

any update?

Ivo, I think you can go ahead and post it yourself, since you have plenty of +1s and this was marked RTBC. To do so, just click on this: http://drupal.org/node/add/book?parent=9882

Hi Alex,

I've posted it here:
