    The Project - The idea...

    The aim of this project is to develop Hospitality Exchange further and make it available to more communities. Further, to connect those decentralized hospitality sites with each other. Additionally, this project will promote cooperation between the existing Hospitality Exchange Communities.

    It does not matter if CouchSurfing, HospitalityClub, GlobalFreeLoaders, BeWelcome... hospitality exchange pages have numerous times been described as the most useful sites in the web as they bring people together in real life. Since then numerous new hospitality exchange communities popped up to establish their own community (see http://hospitalityguide.net for an overview). But why establish your own community in times of Facebook APIs, Open Social and Drupal? Why not connect all those different communities together? Why not develop a Drupal module (http://www.drupal.org - yes, also Amazee runs on Drupal!) that offers all those established communities the possibilities to meet each other in real life? This project is devoted to the development of a Drupal module for decentralized hospitality sites (so that every Drupal community can get one and is connected with the others). Let us learn from each other - here in the web, but also in real life. Bewelcome and join us!

    The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project

    11/15/2008 01:43pm by Max Patzig

    The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is creating a Web of machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them and the things they create and do; it is a contribution to the linked information system known as the Web. FOAF defines an open, decentralized technology for connecting social Web sites, and the people they describe.

    DrupalSN.com - Drupal Social Network

    11/11/2008 10:49am by Max Patzig

    The amount of Drupal Social Networks is immense. Just one look on the Drupal showcase (www.DrupalSN.com) shows that there are many communities that just want to be connected… just one admin that thinks this plug-in/module will add value to my community and slowly, they will share and exchange between the communities.
