Opensim/Drupal integration for education
Opensim/Drupal integration for education - proposal and call for help
June 24, 2008 – 11:05 pm
Well… i’m finally getting my teeth back into opensim and finding that there are a couple of things i’d like to get built over the next couple of months. We’ve already gotten a good start on the automated installer for opensim, but what i’d really like to do now is attempt an integration with drupal. I’ll be keeping my running requirements list for that integration on the openhabitat project page and will hopefully pop a few updates into here from time to time.
What I need
I need two things.
1. I need a good drupal/opensim programmer. Someone familiar with both platforms who can spearhead the drupal integration (or, if you like opensim integration).
2. I need some sense that there are other folks in the British Higher Education community who would find this integration compelling for an application to the emerge community for extra funding.

Interesting Snippets - a photoset on Flickr
Interesting Snippets - a photoset on Flickr This is a fantastic set of images related to the state of the web, communications, and new media. Each image is accompanied by a thought provoking quote. I thought this would be perfect for an anticipatory set for a new media presentation, or an introductory visual for a shared discussion on topics related to new media or web 2.0. Enjoy!
