ArabTechies Code Sprint
This is a bit late but I've been extremely busy the past couple of weeks. On the 20th of May 2009 ArabTechies organized a code sprint for 3 days to solve problems related to processing Arabic. I, among other software developers from Arabtechies, worked for 3 days on several projects. I mainly worked on integrating the features of the Ar-php library into Drupal 6. You can find the resulting module on this project page on drupal.org.Read more

SSRDP Portal
SSRDP requested a bilingual dynamic web portal to improve its communication with its members, partners, and other stakeholders by providing an efficient and flexible medium. The portal would allow non-technical users to share information, inform the community of events, start discussions, subscribe to newsletters, and get feedback from SSRDP's stakeholders. OpenCraft was responsible for the following:
- Developing the portal, theme and functionality
- Choosing a suitable hosting solution
- Deploying the portal and ensuring its technical maintenance
- Training SSRDP staff on uploading content and administering the portal
The open source content management system Drupal was used to implement the SSRDP portal. Drupal features a large number of modules, that provided most of the required functionality. OpenCraft designed, configured, customized and extended the system to fulfill the client needs. This included the development of a new module which allows users to incorporate Google Maps into the site, and which was subsequently contributed back to the Drupal community.
