Come see how the campaign uses Drupal for the web site and internal organization. Rain Breaw is the technical supervisor (film industry title that comes closest to "webmaster") of the Stand Up To Cancer website - standup2cancer.org. Launched on May 28\, 2008\, this website was built for two purposes: 1) to advertise the televised fundraising special that aired on ABC\, CBS and NBC on Sept. 5\; and 2) to assist the special in its goal of raising millions of dollars for cancer research. SU2C built two major donation-driven interfaces into the website in an effort to increase donations\, The Constellation\, and the Team Challenge. With a long-term goals of becoming a community environment for those impacted by cancer (everyone)\, a reporting mechanism for the spending of donation dollars\, and a continued donation engine in mind\, SU2C also built (and continues to improve) a TV channel\, a magazine\, a user forum\, and other tools into the site. SU2C's model is to direct 100% of public funds raised to actual cancer research. All labor costs for development of the website and show were underwritten\, all tools were donated\, and all services were deeply discounted. SU2C initially chose Drupal for its website not out of experience or interest\, but because it seemed to be the best affordable option given the extremely limited timeframe SU2C faced (the website was conceived\, built and launched in less than 5 months). While Drupal made it possible to launch this complex site in a short period of time\, the limited experience of the various parties involved in this project led to unique challenges. Rain (www.rainbreaw.com) is an independent film director/producer and co-founder of the web and internet media development company\, SunRain Productions (www.sunrainproductions.com). Stand Up To Cancer is a detour in Rain's career of which she is quite proud. Plus... In addition to our presentation(s) of the night we have open-mic opportunities for those who have general Drupal questions or need help\, time for those who are hiring or looking for consultants\, upcoming Drupal training announcements\, raffle prizes for attendees\, and as always\, the end of the meeting networking session with the fun and knowledgeable LA Drupal crowd.

They arrive early in 40 degree weather all alone holding their iPods tightly and counting the minutes until Steve takes the stage. I created the pre-keynote meetup in 2005 to help you and your boredom and to make some new friends. Here’s the plan. We all meet at 3AM at the Apple Store on Stockton St.\, have some conversation and snap some photos commemorating the event (cause nothing sucks more than saying you were at Macworld and you don’t have one photo of yourself). From there\, we walk over to the keynote line at Moscone center and now you’ve met some interesting people to make the time in line a lot easier to handle. There might even be some coffee and doughnuts for you all. Last year\, http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/270621/ \, we had over 50 individuals show up outside of the Apple Store at 4AM. After we each took some photos of this memorable event we walked down to the Moscone center and were probably 40th in line for the keynote. Here’s the schedule 3AM: Apple Store @ Stockton St 3:30: Walk to Moscone to get in line and prepare for the Stevenote 4:30: I hope to have a ride to help me go get some doughnuts and coffee for the tired and shivering masses If you have any questions\, email me at macworld@dailytechtalk.com or check out all of our events at http:/macworldbound.com or http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/3983/ “DTT bringing the community back to the Macintosh!” URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1100445/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1100445/ DTSTAMP:20080914T181256 LAST-UPDATED:20080914T181256 CATEGORIES:Social ORGANIZER;CN=adamjackson1984:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/34666/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/7250/":Apple Store @ One Stockton Street\, San Francisco\, California 94108 US END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:Apple Store ADDRESS:One Stockton Street CITY:San Francisco REGION;X-ABBREV=ca:California COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=us:United States POSTALCODE:94108 GEO:37.786;-122.406 URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/7250/ END:VVENUE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20090107T200000 DTEND:20090107T230000 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:DailyTechTalk's open Macworld Party (4th Annual) DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1100462/ ] [UPDATE]: This is the fourth annual Macworld Party sponsored by DailyTechTalk and MacworldBound.
