Streetcanvas is bringing the concept of crowdsourcing to Japan. The Harvard Business School startup launched a couple of days ago and can best be described as a "Threadless for the Japanese market." Their e-commerce company hosts ongoing t-shirt design competitions that enable the crowd to vote and choose the best design. Winning designers get to see their designs put into production and sold exclusively on the website.
Business plan contests and the businesses that emerge out of MBA programs offer students an excellent opportunity to immediately apply what they learn. One such new venture is Streetcanvas , which was started by three HBS students. Streetcanvas was brought to my attention by Akiko Tateishi (Chicago Booth MBA Class of 2011) who is getting an opportunity to intern at this new venture business even before she begins her MBA program. In the interview below, I have asked her about her experience.
A few months ago we got a phone call from our hosting company. They asked a (so called) simple question - "What should we do in order to make our hosting service Drupal Friendly?". We liked where they were going, and decided to help. "Let's try", we said, "Let's test, measure, examine and decide".
So - what must be done for a Drupal site to feel at home?
We constantly seek to raise the awareness to the Drupal CMS, and promote Drupal both globally and localy.
