You can already build a free, customizable, MIT web site for yourself, your club, your project team, or your chia pet, using the most powerful open source content management system on the planet.
Now you can bend this system to your will! Or, at least, develop a cool module for it. What feature would you like to see in Drupal Cloud? What does your website really need? What could every MIT site use? Build it! Submit it! Compete for fame, glory, and cash prizes! (And the chance to have your feature included in the Drupal Cloud service.)
Learn about Drupal as a framework, learn about APIs available on campus, and gain a better understanding of development best practices and related concepts.
A Drupal distribution will be on the contest site which participants may download and install on their own development environment. Participants will upload their completed module code to the competition site. Judging criteria will be based on: module functionality, usability, Drupal integration and use of MIT API’s.
Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place projects:
1st Place - $5,000
2nd Place - $3,000
3rd Place - $2,000
Contest limited to 20 teams.
Sponsor(s): Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Information Services and Technology
