Installation profiles

Project Managment

Project Management is something which helps all projects run smoothly. I personally resent having to pay good money to companies who host poor solutions. This is what spawned the idea of a Project Management profile for Drupal.

I have currently taken inspiration from a few pages around the web such as:

• http://drupal.org/node/34425
• Project Management with Drupal

Hostmaster

The hostmaster profile is a component of the Aegir hosting system.

Ægir is a new set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

The hostmaster profile ties together the functionality of the hosting front end and provisioning back end into a complete package. It handles initialization and auto-detection of your initial configuration settings, and directs you to the friendly installation wizard. To start using the Aegir system, you will install a new site using the hostmaster profile, which you will then use to manage all of the sites you host.

For more information on the system, and the other components, please take a look at the Aegir overview wiki page

Aegir development is sponsored by Development Seed

ELMS

ELMS stands for E-Learning Management System. It was developed by instructional designers, for instructional designers but has implications for ALL drupal users. The installation profile has been broken out into several modules which together can form an e-learning management system.

Here's some of the modules that are currently out there:
Outline Designer - Allows you to drag-and-drop / right-click your way to creating book structures (originally called ELMS / Course Designer)
HTML Export - Allows you to export Drupal sites to a portable HTML format.
Assignment Studio - Drupal gradebook that helps collect student submitted nodes and facilitates their assessment
Rubric - Stand alone module that can plug into the assignment studio to allow for the assessment of node content via other, Rubric nodes.

Projectverse

Projectverse is an installation profile for creating a Drupal-based project management extranet. It currently uses Drupal core, CCK, Views, Organic Groups, Case Tracker and other helper modules to create a groupware environment.

Most of the functionality and design philosophy behind Projectverse is drawn from an existing groupware site (code-named Project Central) that has evolved over time to meet the needs of Drupal services firms and their clients.

In light of the release of Open Atrium, this project has been abandoned.

FilmForge

FilmForge is a distribution (or profile) of the Free/Libre Open Source Softare content management system Drupal, tailored to the needs of videomaking communities. FilmForge makes it simple to install and run your own video sharing site.

FilmForge has a publicly viewable test install at http://filmforge.koumbit.net.

For developers working on the project, or for those interested in looking under the hood, there is a list of To Do items and development notes here: http://wiki.koumbit.net/FilmForge/ToDo.

For those who want to help maintain the FilmForge drupal installation profile, it lives here: http://wiki.koumbit.net/FilmForge/DrupalProfile.

Conference Organizing Install Profile

This distribution makes it easy to organize conferences through a website. It enables the following features:

• Conference management: Publishes pages for conferences that includes descriptive and logistical information (location / directions). Admin interfaces make it easy to create and manage conferences. Allows administrators to create multiple conferences per site.
• Registration: The registration process makes it easy for users with or without accounts to register for your conference. Custom registration forms can be created (supported by webform module) and registration data can be displayed in a table or downloaded as a csv file. Administers can also register attendees by hand.
• Scheduling: Supports multi day and multi track conference scheduling. Daily schedules are laid out on an easy to browse daily schedule that displays sessions in rows for each track track and height and position according to their time. On the schedule page users can check off which sessions they will be attending and their personalized schedule will then appear on their profile for others to see.
