There's been a few conversations recently about the need for some kind of Drupal Australia showcase website outside of GDO...
The basic idea is to use Drupal.org.au (Cheers to Simon Hobbs for the offer of using this) as a hub where a comprehensive overview of projects using Drupal in Australia, broken down by industry category that anyone can upload to for free.
Ultimately, everyone benefits from potential clients being able to see the breadth of Drupal use in the country, and the confidence that provides them to start using Drupal on their own projects. It's also good for the community at a national level to see what everyone's up to and the great stuff being produced out there.
Additional features might be a more formal Drupal AU services directory (freelancers, companies, hosting etc.), events listings for meetups, training, etc. so there's an easy way for people to come in and find what they're after.
The site would ideally be under the banner of "Drupal Australia" at a more national level than local meetups, be non-profit (but might ultimately be a source of funding for the local community in some way), and be collaboratively developed by any individuals or companies interested in seeing something like this come to fruition.
Good idea? Crap idea? Interested in all your community feedback before anything concrete is put into play...
