Hey Dries, Jonas Luster was telling me how to pronounce your name yesterday. I lived in 'dam in 1975 and have been going back ever since. In fact there is a certain tutorial that Dave Winer just posted - that I created there in 1997. Anyway - Howdy! I was introduced to Drupal by Julian Bond almost a year ago and have been watching your success ever since. Congrats! I recently met Chris Schmidt -who was Neil Drumm's room mate and we decided that Drupal would be teh way to go - for our PeopleAggregator project. THEN I met Jonas Luster - who has introduced me to James Walker - and THEN I got together with Zack Rosen and Neil - who introduced me to Adrian Rossouw. I has a four hour tutorial on Drupal yesterday and YES - we have many plans. Unfortunately I do not have the time to write it all up to for you now - as I am with my kids - it is a wonderful day today and we are swimming in my swimming pool. So briefly (and I will followup later with many more details): - we do NOT plan on forking - so we MUST work with you and the team! - we plan on adding the PeopleAggregator code into Drupal. We can discuss how we might maintain the PeopleAggregator 'brand' - while at the same time provide full featured social networking to Drupal. - we also plan on enhancing Drupal to become a "digital lifestyle aggregator" - and we plan on expanding Drupal's authentication to support other systems (such as SourceID and the new TypeKey systems) By full featured social networking I mean: - a central Commons screen - a public page (the About Me screen) - a private page (your private tools, data, setting controls, etc.) - Group pages These four kind of pages make up the PeopleAggregator architecture. In addition we are in the midst of adding a decentralized 'distributed' People's DNS to the system as well. All to be handed to the Drupal Community. :-) I hope that is OK. :-) Anyway - maybe we can speak on the phone together? We also have an IRC channel as well on freenode = #pa. :-) - Marc -----Original Message----- From: Dries Buytaert [mailto:me...@or...] Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2004 9:55 AM To: Marc Canter Subject: Drupal Hi Mark, I read your post in the Drupal forum. Care to elaborate a bit about your Drupal plans? (Btw, I went to look for you in #joiito but you were not there. You can - occasionally - find me in #drupal at irc.freenode.net.)
