How to get your showcase post promoted to the front page of Drupal.org
Here are some guidelines to follow when creating your Showcase.
- Write an engaging case study, following the Drupal.org style guidelines.
A case study must include the following:
- Write a compelling title and sub title for each of the following sections.
- What was the Business Problem. What did you create? How did it solve the business problem? (Some people dive right into the technical solution and miss this critical step. Evaluating companies look to see if the case study is like their business and business challenges.)
- Why did the client chose Drupal?
- Give an overview of the infrastructure. Put emphasis on the hosting service. Many companies build a Drupal site, put it on a $5/mo shared host and when it doesn't scale, they blame it on Drupal. So, please emphasis the hosting service selected and provide details.
- Describe the solution and explain what was custom. Specifically, explain what custom modules you used. What was you "magic sauce" to make this solution so special.

Nannies and baby sitters can also search listings by geographic criteria or type of position offered. The advantage of the site is to be free, easy to use and well-targeted profiles.

REO Industry Directory, a membership website in the Real Estate industry using Drupal
The REO Industry Directory is a place where asset managers and REO companies meet REO agents. The concept is simple yet powerful. REO agents get a featured membership on the directory and are displayed prominently when an asset manager searches for agents within a 30 mile radius of their service area. The website identifies the location of the website visitor too and if they "allow" sharing of their location, the map changes focus to their city/metro and displays the Featured REO agents serving their area.
Ocular Concepts (re)designed this website to focus on giving the Featured Members the best return for the membership. We redesigned the website with a focus on asset managers and REO agents - the two main audience who would be using this system. We also developed city specific landing pages for 50 most popular cities in USA. The user can search for their city on the All Cities page too(http://www.reoindustrydirectory.com/agent-by-city). Our web designers made it compelling enough for the visitors to take the next steps on the website through well placed calls to action.

I've been using Ubercart since Drupal 5 and really like the system. So when I noticed the UC developers were not getting the love they deserve, I decided to create my own promo website for Ubercart to extend the user base and hopefully attract more developers.
The site is not quite finished and currently I'm in the process of populating it with content in the Modules/Themes/Web Hosts/Dev For Hire sections.
Site: http://www.getubercart.com
I didn't use too many modules for the site. Tried to keep it simple but will be adding a few more in the next month or so.
Current Modules:
Drupal 7
Views
Private Message
Wysiwyg (CKEditor)
Forum
Pathauto
Future modules:
Fivestar with comments for content rating.
So currently I'm working on tracking down Web Hosts specialising in Drupal Hosting and Developers who are experience in Drupal/Ubercart work. If you'd like to be listed in the Dev and Web Host directory please sign up on the site and submit your business or email your submission to info@getubercart.com
www.kluhster.com
I have started a new website called Kluhster. My developers used the Drupal software to create this site and I would like you to log on and tell me what you think!
We have been live for about 3 weeks and, obviously, our next goal is to get as many people as possible to the site! We are still working to improve the site, so don't give up if you find something not quite right!
The concept of Kluhster (the phonetic spelling of "cluster") is a social network that uses common interests to connect people together. For now, we currently have 3 "clusters" (kluhsters); Golf, Hunting and Movies.
Here's an example of how it works in just one of the Kluhsters...Movies.
Within the Movie Kluhster, we have the following areas:
-Forums
-Movie Search
-Movie Reviews
-Latest Releases
-Top Rated Movies
-My profile
Essentially, you can go into the movie search and find thousands of movies. You can select "I have seen this" or "I want to see this" and it logs that movie under "My Profile" in the "Movies I have seen" or "Movies I want to see" heading. You can also select whether you liked or disliked the movie.
Other users, of course, do the same.
