CivicActions

We're proud to announce civic.mit.edu, the primary web presence for the Center for Future Civic Media, based out of MIT's Media Lab and the Comparative Media Studies program.

For its third DrupalCamp, the Paris Drupal community is performing an awesome experiment: building a website in 48 hours for a local NGO.

A very open application process drew a dozen applications from NGOs across France, with a wide variety of anti-poverty, development, and other missions. This led to the selection of Project Aurore, which is focussed on social development and "réinsertion sociale" for socially excluded groups. Aurore desire a new site to catalog social agencies in Paris (emergency housing, meals, healthe care, etc) so that their targetted communities can easily find what they need, when they need it, mixed with a video blog that reports on the same.
