Having an account on Drupal.org is useful for many reasons.
- It allows you to post and reply to issues in issue queues on Drupal.org.
- You can create an organisation page to promote your organisation's involvement in Drupal and Drupal projects.
- You can link your personal user account to your organisation page and to issues and contributions you make.
- It allows us to promote the organisations and people that support the LocalGov Drupal project.
The main LocalGov Drupal project is posted at https://www.drupal.org/project/localgov. We would like to list all subscribing councils and suppliers on the LocalGov Drupal project page to demonstrate the support and encourage more organisations and people to get involved. To do this, you will need to have a personal account on Drupal.org and an organisation page.
- Create a drupal.org account at https://www.drupal.org/user/register.
- Verify your email address.
- Ask an existing user to verify you are not a spammer. See https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/user-accounts/become-a-confirmed-user (probably quickest to ask one of us on Slack to visit your new user page and click 'confirm').
- Create an organization page at https://www.drupal.org/node/add/organization.
- Let one the maintainers know and we can add you to the list of supporting organisations on https://www.drupal.org/project/localgov. It might be quickest to mention this on Slack or create an issue at https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/localgov.
- One of the maintainers can add the new organisation to the list of supporting organisations on the project page.
- Edit your personal user account and under the 'work' tab you can select your organization to link your user to the organisation page.
- Ask other people from your organisation to create accounts and link them up to your organisation too.
