310 Drupal Association Presented by
Leveraging Drupal for your businessUse Drupal to power your business: Hear case studies and learn about adapting to open-source technology.
MuseScore is open source music notation software and musescore.org is its home. It is a full featured Drupal website and it grows the MuseScore user & developer community. This session will reveal how the MuseScore adoption grew 1000% in one year time and how this can be attributed to Drupal.
In the summer of 2008, the core MuseScore developers decided to leave the static website behind and give MuseScore is own proper community website using Drupal 6. This session will reveal all the modules used on musescore.org and explain how the site was built with minimal custom coding. You will also get an insight in the crucial features to grow a vibrant community and get them involved in translating the MuseScore software, the website and the collaboratively written handbook.
This session will be focused on:
- Growing your website together with your community, from shared hosting to a cloud based solution
- Managing crowd-sourced translation of the website, the handbook and the software
- Key features for a strong community website such as a forum, collaborative handbook writing, Apache Solr search, fundraising, issue tracking and more
About the speaker: Thomas Bonte, aka toemaz, is a Drupal module developer since 4.x and is the main developer of musescore.org. He prefers to contribute patches but maintains several modules as well.

Looking forward to meet you John. I really hope this session get selected, but in case it doesn't, let's have a BoF or an evening with Drupal/music people.

Announcement on the MuseScore presentation:
I'm very sorry to inform you that I was not able to make it to DrupalCon due to the volcanic ash cloud (http://bit.ly/aeq9ow). However, the slides of my presentation will be made available on Slideshare on Tuesday.
Thanks for your understanding.
