Distributions provide site features and functions for a specific type of site as a single download containing Drupal core, contributed modules, themes, and pre-defined configuration. They make it possible to quickly set up a complex, use-specific site in fewer steps than if installing and configuring elements individually.
Innovation News Installation Profile

packgr
packgr is a multistep installer for Drupal 6 that allows the selection and configuration of multiple 'Packages' upon installation of a new Drupal site.
View a screencast of packgr in action.
How it works
It is implemented as an install profile, which a user can choose upon installing a new instance of Drupal. Upon completion of the basic site configuration information, the user is given a change to select multiple 'Packages' which can define multiple tasks, forms, and modules to enable. The installer than walks the user through each step of each package, presenting forms and updating the status of installed packages.
Behind the scenes
Each package consists of a packagename.inc file located in the packgr/packages directory. This file contains two hooks, one to define the info about the package, and another to define default tasks and their callbacks. Please look at the Default package included with packgr for more examples.
HostSlave
Deprecation notice: this profile has been removed because Aegir 0.2 will not require any preconfiguration to deploy new platforms.
E-Journal Install Profile
This install profile will allow site administers to create a basic online journal to publish articles and journal issues. It was developed in Drupal 5 and is being used on a few sites:
http://arcade.stanford.edu/journals/rofl/
http://arcade.stanford.edu/journals/occasion/
https://www.stanford.edu/group/mantis/cgi-bin/
CCK Date Testsite
This is an installation profile to setup a test site for CCK date fields. It generates a different content type for every combination of CCK date field type (Date, Datestamp, Datetime) and timezone handling (Date, Site, User, UTC, and None), and then generates 4 nodes of each type (2 days ago, now, 2 hours from now, 2 days from now). It also generates a bunch of users from different timezones. It configures Devel and Signup, sets up roles and permissions, and so on. This profile depends on the Install Profile API.
phpEdu Installation Profile
phpEdu installation profile helps you set up a phpEdu Learning Management System (LMS) site. The new packaging system has created an archive of Drupal core and all dependencies for phpEdu. Simply download, unpack and install. Further information and help is available on the phpEdu Project Website.
Tapatio Installation Profile
An installation profile for the tapatio project.
Required modules are:
userpoints: http://drupal.org/project/userpoints
organic groups: http://drupal.org/project/og
views: http://drupal.org/project/views
votingapi: http://drupal.org/project/votingapi
tapatio: http://drupal.org/project/tapatio
UberDrupal
UberDrupal is an installation profile designed to help you get a Drupal site running Ubercart up as quickly as possible. This installation profile will install the core Ubercart modules automatically, allow you to pre-configure some basic store information, and supports the automatic support and configuration of module packages for features like out of the box product image support. It also configures the Acquia Prosper theme and installs the Administration Menu module when present. Currently, it will provide demonstration catalog categories and products with an instructional front page (that lacks actual instruction) upon installation.
The Base Installation Profile
An attempt at helping the average Drupal code monkey when starting a new project. A simple base installation profile activating the most essential modules, and also allowing you to insert your own cck and views dumps into the relevant directories for inclusion during installation. (read the README.txt for instructions on how).
I'm looking to expand the dumps you can include, with the future possibility of a small comlimentary module to take a Drupal site, and extract the data for things such as blocks, taxonomy, imagecache, etc for quick and easy use in this profile's import directories.
This is very much a work in progress (ob duh) and so, feel free to use the issue queue for suggestions.

Backup and Migrate Installation Profile
The Backup and Migrate Installation Profile allows you to restore from a database backup file created by version 2 of Backup and Migrate during installation.
Travian guild
¿What is travian?
Travian is a browser game featuring a world with thousands of other real players. One begins the game acting as a chief of a tiny village. Alliances are groups of players playing together.
¿What is this profile for?
Unfortunately the alliance features in the travian server are not enough most of the times, and guilds tend to use external services to keep track of in game activities. This module will setup a drupal site with the features needed for a travian guild, to provide the missing resources in the game.
Welcoming Websites Wizard
Welcoming Websites Wizard is an installation profile specially tailored to meet the needs of Unitarian Universalist congregations. The Wizard builds on Welcoming Websites' commitment to helping congregations welcome newcomers and engage members and friends, minister to people through the web by providing pastoral resources and building relationships, and make it easy for staff and volunteers to manage the website.
The goal of this project is to help UU congregations reach out to prospective visitors, engage members and friends, and express a message of welcome and justice.
The Wizard includes a number of features that many UU congregation websites need, including:
- Search engine optimization with human-readable URLs, via Pathauto
- Rich text editing and inline image insertion, via Wysiwyg API, IMCE, and TinyMCE
- A wealth of pre-configured content types and content listings, including sermon archives, upcoming services, newsletters, minister profiles and committee pages, and minister blogs, via CCK and Views.
- Support for flexible calendars, via Calendar and Date
- Easy site map administration, via EZ Menu
- Social bookmarking, via Service links
- Support for multimedia content, including slideshows, multiple podcast channels, video uploads and YouTube embeds.
Drupal Social Network Framework Install Profile
This install profile ties existing contrib modules together to more easily create Drupal-powered social networking sites.
The purpose of this project is to integrate existing social networking features together, to extend Drupal to include "typical" social networking features, and to create a baseline for social network functionality.
For more information on the development of this profile, see the DSNF Wiki. This project is funded by the Google Summer of Code 2009.
This install profile does not yet fully work.
The profile depends on External Links and Devel at the moment.
You can install other modules during the installation and the module selection page can be made to redetect the list of modules.
Cypherpunk Drupal
Installation profile for a privacy-friendly and security-enhanced Drupal distribution.
Peer Review Install Profile
Peer review install profile enable a user to quickly create an installation of the drupal peer review question and answer platform.
This install profile is a work in progress because lot of changes has been done since the first approach to this platform. It's actually not ready to be used.
Peer review install profile was part of the Summer of code 2009.
North Drop - Sample database for Drupal learning and profiling
The end goal here is to build a standard "sample" database for Drupal.
I don't know if you ever had the pleasure of working in M$ Access, but there was a DB it came with called "Northwind"
It was a fictitious company, contained tables for Products, Orders, Customers, etc. It had some forms and some reports. It was a very valuable tool for learning to use the system, and for documentation.
If we had something similar for Drupal, it could be used for the following:
- Benchmarking performance because
A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.
- Segal's Law - End user docs
- Standards in content for Theming
- Ease of development
I want to use "real" content for this - not greeking, it should come together and be a real looking site for a newspaper, business, or something.
However. I don't have budgeted time for that right now :(
We do have devel generate, and to start with, I am building an install profile, which, given some parameters will generate some content on the new site. Because we have cli installs, this can also be scripted now.
Please, suggest a better name.
AnyTM - Any Team Management System

Open Media
WARNING: this installation profile hasn't been updated in almost a year at this point, and no longer pulls current releases of the included modules. Until one of the Open Media Project partners has the time to create or fund a new release, it is recommended that you avoid this profile and instead visit the individual module pages to obtain current releases. A listing of the individual modules and information on the current status of the project can be found on the group page.
The primary goal of the Open Media Install Profile is to leverage Drupal to give local communities more control over their public access channel. The system is built on several existing modules and custom modules developed to meet the workflow needs of a public access station.
The Open Media Install Profile is also committed to developing modules that are flexible enough for a variety of uses beyond public access channels.
Drupal for Churches
This project has been abandoned in favor of OpenChurch.
The goal of Drupal for Churches was to create an "out-of-the-box" Drupal distribution specifically for church websites. While the intentions were good, without any commercial motivation the project was not properly maintained. Now that OpenChurch is around, and is properly maintained, it only makes sense to abandon this project. Check it out at http://www.openchurchsite.com and get involved!
Ubuntu Drupal
The Ubuntu Drupal installation profile will bring together everything the Ubuntu-Drupal team (#ubuntu-drupal on Freenode) has been developing. This will allow you to deploy an Ubuntu based website. This is primarily focused on Local Communities but will suit any Ubuntu type need.
You can read more about the project on our wiki.
You can also see our development occurring in Launchpad.
For a sample:

Brochureware Site
This is a simple Drupal distro (ie; Installation Profile) for small to medium businesses. The goal is to provide a trusted set of popular modules along with a number of common features in an easy to install manner.
UPDATE: Brochure Site is once again in active development. A completely redesigned 2.x branch is in the works. With all the UI / UX improvements Drupal 7 offers — and Drupal 8 is seeking — this moving target has greatly accelerated. While we work on rolling out a release candidate, you might also consider taking a look at:
- Panopoly: ...an Apps enabled distribution of Drupal powered by lots of CTools and Panels magic... designed to be a base framework upon which to build other Drupal distributions, but will also work for general site building.
- Julio: ...a distribution targeted for schools, school districts, small colleges, and academic departments within universities. (easily adapted to non-edu-centric projects)
