DraQ Community Evolution occurs, we're here to help An online service of PMA Consulting |
The internet is
evolving
at a frantic rate, enough so that even as professionals, we can't keep
up with it alone. Fortunately, it's also a tool that empowers a
group. Because as a network of networks on the physical level,
it is also evolving toward a network on the social level which we're
calling Web2.0,
Social Networking, etc. The DraQ Community is dedicated to helping people exploit the internet for profit while protecting their cyberpersonnae. This rampant progress we're experiencing on the internet gives us enormous opportunities, but also concommitant security risks that a like-minded group can help you exploit safely, or more safely anyway. We'll also be a force in helping the entire internet evolve toward a better future. Cloud Computing and Mobility are parts of Web2.0 as we take our LifeStreams on the road. The most powerful aspect of Cloud Computing is also its biggest danger, "the cloud". What happens to your personal data when the sky falls? Teaching healthy redundancy habits and providing tools for their implimentation is a major part of our mission and if you include them as part of your life, you'll thank us at some point in the future. Electronic privacy, identity theft, and encryption rights/responsibilities are also part of your job as an internaut entrepreneur. This arena is under constant attack by criminals at every level from dumpster divers looking for your credit card slips all the way up to government agencies with widely varying levels of resources they can bring to bear against you. Alloying yourself to this group's resources will greatly improve your odds of weathering the current and coming personal rights storms. You'll still have to avail yourself of the education and take the necessary actions, but we're able and desireous of giving help. Smiley and DJ2R will be your SysOps on this adventure as we navigate these "interesting times" toward a safer and brighter future. A major component in this site is Drupal, an open source Social Networking CMS & CCK that we're developing toward a secure, redundant portal you may use to administer your LifeStream. Drupal is developing at a similar pace to the rest of the internet and we'll be contributing to that motion. Social Networking is social, and as we've been recommending to our children for a couple of centuries, it is wisest to choose our friends and associates carefully. We subscribe to that premise at DraQ Community as well. Membership is by referral only, though if you try, you'll find that isn't much of a hurdle. Every member is bound by agreement to the DraQ Community Terms of Service. Anyone is welcome to browse as much and often as you like, though you won't be able to "say" anything here. Lurkers have been referred by a DraQ Community (DC) member and have limited publication rights. Basically Blog and Forum posts and comments to other members' work. DC Members pay $75.00 per year for extensive publication rights, email using our domain (pmaco.net) and are eligible for all projects and programs. DC Domain Owners pay $150.00 per year and have their own website and email hosted on our servers. Our mission to members is helping them discover and develop marketing aspects of Web2.0 while keeping an eye toward security and redundancy. Please come inside and be welcome. |
