Installation profiles
Installation profiles are a feature in Drupal core that was added in the 5.x series. The Drupal installer allows you to specify an installation profile which defines which modules should be enabled, and can customize the new installation after they have been installed. This will allow customized "distributions" that enable and configure a set of modules that work together for a specific kind of site (Drupal for bloggers, Drupal for musicians, Drupal for developers, and so on).
Drupal Media
This profile will allow you to easily deploy a media heavy site. Coming soon!
Drupal Developer
This profile is aimed to make development installations easier. Containing the settings I often use in my dev setups, so using this profile I don't have to bother about adding blocks, installing my used custom modules, setting user permissions to test.
Initial Drupal username/password: drupal/drupal
WARNING: this profile contains potentially dangerous user settings, permissions, do not use it on a live site.
Dependencies (installed modules)
- devel
- admin menu
- simpletest
- coder
- clean (base theme)
- install profile api (to make the installation tasks easier)
Homepage
On my site you can find a rolled tarball with the up-to-date drupal core + this install profile + the contributed modules, use it with caution.
Suggestions
You are more than welcome to suggest additions, settings to the profile. I will try to keep the functionality on a certain minimum, but am open to new ideas, suggestions.

Open Media
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.
This profile will eventually include the following features and functionality,

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.

Agaric Starter Installation Profiles
The starter profiles package from Agaric Design Collective is both a rough quick-start for a fairly generic Drupal site and a starter for developers to make their own install profiles (or variations within this one).
Feel free to use the issue queue for feature requests. We hope that this start will help the Drupal community come up with a base set of install profiles for Drupal 5.
Currently this installation profile just enables some modules (contributed modules are commented out at the moment so this profile can be tried without downloading any modules), makes a couple content types, makes a taxonomy vocabulary for an issue campaign, creates a role, and changes the name of anonymous users to Visitor.
Planned features include creating some pages with path aliases, setting permissions, and making several install profiles that simply use include files, in an attempt to make mix-and-match install profiles to share functionality. Oh, and adding blockquote to Filtered HTML input format.
This is a beta release pending the a rearchitecture to make it modular. See for reference Agaric's notes relating to installation profiles.
Social Forum Call for Action
This installation profile is to capture the collective work done to launch and develop the website for the World Social Forum Call for day of action / mobilisation January 26th 2008.
(Although the development snapshot will install, this profile is not meant for general use yet. Do, however, use the issue queue to request features for the profile and report bugs for its implementation on the WSF2008.net development site. If you would like to help, please contact Agaric Design Collective.)
When the site and this installation profile are fully matured (sometime in 2008, the day of action is more like a month or year of action), this will be an installation profile for a multilingual site with map integration and features for proposing actions, communicating and collaborating about actions in onsite with e-mail groups, and listing and finding actions around the world.
Required contrib modules will include:

Innovation News Installation Profile
The Innovation News installation profile provides all the tools and settings necessary to run a cross-media newspaper. Specifically, it allows the site's news to easily be exported as an RSS feed, as a Google Earth™ KML file, and as generic XML data.
Users who do not wish to make use of the cross-media features can use their Innovation News site as simply a news website.
Features:
- Creation of 5 roles - administrator, writer, photographer, editor, and manager - to allow for team collaboration
- Two new content types - Article and Reader Story
- Integration with the Innovation News module to facilitate the development of news stories in a collaborative environment. The Innovation News module also allows news stories to be grouped into "editions" and displayed by edition, similar to the way news stories are compiled into daily editions of newspapers. In addition, XML can be generated from editions and imported into publishing software or used for any other of a variety of purposes.
- Integration with the XML to KML module, allowing the site's RSS feed to be output as a KML file. This output KML file can be opened in Google Earth™ to display news according to location.
- Integration with the Pathauto module to create URLs which are search engine friendly
- Pre-set Views and Content Templates which display news in a professional-looking format
