Ryan Cross (Drupal User Group) is re-scheduling the Open Source web build competition that we tried to get going earlier this year. It will take place in a closed venue over a 24 hour period, building a site from scratch for a nominated Non-Profit Organisation. See how it works at fullcodepress.com. Expected teams - Drupal, Plone, Joomla and Wordpress. Want to take part? Uphold Joomla's reputation?

Ryan suggests running the event near the beginning of December, around the open source developers conference www.osdc.com.au which will help generate some momentum and possible press coverage.

There are many chances to participate - NPO's, sponsors, logistics, teams, etc. so please contact Ryan at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
