Drupal Basics -- Adding an Events Calendar Submitted by matthew on Tue, 2008-06-10 22:28. Tags: basics drupal nonprofits in second life NPSL NPT Adding an events calendar to a Drupal instance is pretty easy thanks to Kjartan Mannes who authored the Event module and Gerhard Killesreiter who maintains it. I was asked if I would add a Calendar to the Nonprofit Commons site--dedicated to nonprofits in Second Life--to aid in booking space across the two sims. We often have events, and sometimes

I just finished doing a first read-through of the submitted proposals for the USC Network Culture Project's "Second Life and Public Good Community Challenge".

I've always loved the fast pace of indoor soccer, not just as a fan but also as a player, and a Wave game was always a good time. Some of the highlights for me were attending the game the year they won championship, the pre-game camp I went to, and the game Brett Favre attended. But as the Wave approaches their 25th sea

I’ve been thinking about how virtual worlds might fit into the work life of an advocacy-focused non-profit in a meaningful way. Here’s one scenario I dreamed up that isn’t science-fiction -- it can basically be implemented today with current technology. Enjoy the virtual world nerdiness...
