Open Source Non Profit Crowd Founding Is The New Way Of Living - Transparency And Feedback Is Always A Key Factor :)

Drupal (pronounced drew-pull) is a Content Management System and web application development software written in a popular scripting language - PHP. Drupal has over 20,000 modules and over 1,000 themes, along with both a point and click interface to allow tech-savvy people to put together websites with no programming experience; and an API and framework for programmers to develop unique applications. Best of all, it's free, open source software!

The Drupal Community is now one of the largest - if not the largest - open source communities in the world. With over 20,000 modules and 1+ million users, the growth is impressive.

The Collapse Of Big Government And Rise Of Open Source Communities - The Future of Los Angeles: A Nonprofit View :)

What should nonprofit leaders be thinking about as they plan and prepare for the next 20 years?

As part of that recognition, the five were asked to look ahead to the future of Los Angeles and offer their take on the forces shaping the region in the decades to come.

Community Partners works with social entrepreneurs, grantmakers and civic leaders to imagine possibilities, design solutions and see them through to results. Our work includes fiscal sponsorship, grantmaker partnerships, thought leadership and knowledge sharing.
