Drupal 7 Commerce Initiative

The Drupal 7 Commerce Initiative is a coordinated effort of developers in the Drupal / Ubercart community to plan the future of Drupal 7 based e-commerce. Our immediate goal is to develop a specification that will guide our development efforts and empower more developers to make meaningful contributions. In a word, we're bringing intentionality to a development process that has been spontaneous and reactionary.

The projected outcome will be a new Drupal Commerce module package with a coordinating installation profile or Features module for Drupal 7 that will make setting up an awesome e-commerce site a snap!

Please take some time to learn more about the goals of the initiative, the people supporting it, and the process we'll use to achieve our goals. If the promise of this initiative excites you, please join us!

Paris Drupal Commerce Sprint, February 22-26

Submitted by Ryan on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 03:54

During our last IRC meeting, we discussed a sprint in Paris at the end of this month. We set the dates for February 22-26 and will be working out of af83's office. We got a little bit of planning in but will need another meeting or two between now and then to be best prepared for our time together.

Alrighty, now that the split is public and Drupal Commerce has been rebooted, I'd like to recover a bit of the team spirit and make the most of the time we have left until Drupalcon SF. We're going to go for a little bit different time slot this time and aim for 5 PM EST tomorrow, Jan. 27, 2010. Meet in #drupalcommerce on irc.freenode.net. Topics of discussion will involve tightening up everyone's understanding of what DC is and is not, letting people know where development is happening and how we envision people pitching in, and recovering plans for a code sprint in Paris the last week of February.

Ubercore renamed to Drupal Commerce

Submitted by Ryan on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 00:51

As I outlined in my blog post on the subject, Ubercore has been renamed to Drupal Commerce. This is unfortunate, because I liked the short URL, but d7ci just doesn't have the same ring as d7uc. So, go ahead and update your bookmarks and prepare to double down as we make up for lost time!

Fieldable Products and the Add to Cart Field

Submitted by Ryan on Sun, 10/25/2009 - 00:32

One of the most exciting changes planned for Ubercore for both site builders and developers is the near total re-implementation of products thanks to Drupal 7's Fields API. The following represents a summary of conversations, midnight brainstorming, and sprint discussion that should be refined into a solid spec. for the first round of Ubercore development.

Welcome to the d7uc

We've just launched the Ubercore website from the PariSoMa conference room in San Francisco, CA. Currently, a half dozen Drupal / Ubercart community members are sprinting in front of a giant white board to flesh out its contents. This site will serve as the central nervous system of the Ubercore Initiative, a place for its supporters to review the guiding documents, provide feedback and propose changes, and stay up to date on the status of the effort.

While this site won't host any code or development discussions, we will be coordinating our documentation efforts through the books and forums here. We'll be posting a summary of our sprint in a few days with tips on how to get involved in the project and what to expect in the near future. Feel free to cruise around, but expect to find stub pages and text that is subject to change.

Welcome aboard, and please bear with us as we work to get all our notes on the site and revised. Our first goal is an Ubercart 2.0 release, then to address the jumbledness here.
