geilhufe+1 for Amazon

kittThat limits people who do work that can't be contributed.
AmazonNo
kittI do a TON of custom work that isn't contributed.
nonecknoelcan they buy in?
AmazonI mean you can point to sites
Amazonbut if you look at some of the programming marketplaces
kittI don't think an ultimate frisbee online rostering system is going to be useful.
kaliyawe should have a section that helps explain open source processes and how you understand them...for newbies (the target audience)
Amazonthey don't point to past work
zackerkitt: you'd be surprised :/
obickeraises hand again
Amazonkitt: you could point to your sites
Amazonbut in other marketplaces it's all reputation based
kittAmazon: but that's not contribution/theme based.

kittwhich was your point?
AmazonI mentioned sites as well
kittsorry, missed that
AmazonI see your dilema
pingvtestimonials?
kittendorsements?
AmazonI'll give an example
Amazonsomeone just paid for a Drupal 4.7 installer to be built
Amazonit was done by a shop in India who was the lowest bidder
Amazonthey copied the CivicSpace installer
obickenonecknoel: is next
Amazonthey had a 400 endorsement
kittAmazon: punks.
pingvdirectory could feature testimonials / ratings / rep mgmt a la LinkedIn
Amazonwith Drupal you can just point to a site
Amazonand people will get it
pingvBut how to avoid spammers on directory?
strudeauthinks the process to get listed should have some rigor to it
kittpingv: constant vigilance! (to quote harry potter)
pingvtransparency is key
strudeaualso thinks concerns about not being on drupal.org is overblown; but it would be nice if they would link to it as dan describes
pingvto avoid the "why did I get rejected?" problem
kittmight have contributors get bonus points for endorsement.
obicke+1 for testimonials... feedback on experience... kinda ebay like
ericg_that is what client references are for
m3avrckagreed
pingvwho's talking?

kittthen how do you get in?
obickehand
m3avrckhow do you rate these 2 hypothetical developers: iserABC contributes multiple APIs to core, userXYZ *only* contributes theme work but it's awesome
kittif you're new, you don't get endorsements.
geilhufe+1 omar
m3avrckobviously one will rate higher than the other but depends on the circumstances
pingvif you don't go to conferences, you don't know developers

pingvopen review of existing portfolio?
GregoryHellerWhat happens to "AAA Drupal Shop" who shows up on top but is some kid with no experience and no clients
ericg_zacker - What was wrong with the CivicSpace listing system? How did you guys go about putting that togetehr? ANy advice? http://civicspacelabs.org/home/community/services
m3avrckthey can't get higher up unless they get positive reviews of their work, along with a linked profile of skills, sites, etc...
geilhufehand
zackerericg: do you mean - why don't we use that going forward?
zackerit is just a book page
zackerits a simple easy solution for he time being
ericg_right - but how did you choose who went up there?
zackerbut i think we really need to get more data into the system and give a way for shops to feature the sites they make + their community contributions
zackerit's open eric
AmazonIt needs to be a couple of links
Amazonone for documentation
zackeranyone can make a book page and put it on the list
strudeauthinks this should be a somewhat exclusive group and it's ok for it to not live on drupal.org ... so long as the criteria for getting listed is fair and public, who cares?
Amazonone for issues
Amazonone for code

kaliyait is really important not to expect normal people just figuring out if they want to hire someone wade through drupal.org
kaliyawe need a clean easy to access site - that highlights the best shops and develoeprs
AmazonI think you will find that Drupal.org is willing to change
Amazonif there is commitment to see it through
kaliyait is not about drupal.org 'changing'
strudeauagrees with kaliya
m3avrckideal drupal.org would be when you first click ”' developers go here ' ' end users go here ' ... .just 2 big buttons to seperate it out

GregoryHelleramazon says: make the consulting list valuable

kaliyaeveryone building sites is contributing - they are expanding the install base
geilhufe+1 dan
GregoryHeller+1 kaliya
GregoryHeller+1 dan
sechrest+1 - agree that people can contribute without code
Amazonit's a tension
GregoryHellerusing drupal, installing drupal, is a contribution
obickeI have to admit that I tend to agree with Dan - that there is a psychological barrier here
kaliyathere is a huge opportunity to figure out how to have something cohsive emerge out of the plethora of event moduels
kaliyathat is a social 'problem' that needs some other skills to help be better other then just coding
AmazonI think that stemmed from the sense of exclusion
drobsome people think this meeting is anathema
drobAmazon: i disagree
kaliyawell if you do then don't be here
pingvTHe culture of Drupal usage and interactive web is a contributor in itself
drobAmazon: although it contributed
drobAmazon: but there is a strong thread of "if you aren't a coder you don't belong"

GregoryHelleron thing that some of us talked about was creating a pool of aprentices who "pay their dues" by working the "help desk" for a certain amount of time a week
GregoryHellerthe help desk staff could escalate support issues to the approriate shop when necessary
