mixCD

Our team has been coming up with some good ides for the website. We decided to build it with Drupal and we're gonna be buying a year of hosting at Dreamhost. I don't think any of the other guys have used Drupal before but I don't think they'll have any trouble learning it.

We've setup a Google group for the project and got everyone Gmail accounts so we can communicate via the Jabber protocol. I think we'll just setup a chatroom at conference.jabber.org or something and communicate that way. We also all have shared each others schedules via Google Calendar and it seems we all have conflicting schedules...

Still struggling with ideas

Well, our one page proposal is due tomorrow and I'm still not sure what I'm gonna write about. Here are some ideas that have been floating around my head: iPhoto plugins (Blogger uploader, winkflash and shutterfly uploader, etc.); CarPC frontend (touch screen interface for music, video, radio, gps, odbII, etc in a fast booting embedded Linux distro); GPS enabled SD card for cameras (does this exist yet?) for embedding gps coordinates in EXIF data on photos; some sort of educational social networking site built on Drupal or Plone (I'd like to use Plone since I'm fluent in Python and not so good with PHP); maybe some kind of online game; maybe a social networking site that lets a user post once and publishes to various other sites such as Blogger, Facebook, Wordpress, etc. Well, I'm gonna keep on thinking of ideas and hopefully come up with a decent proposal before the paper is due tomorrow!
