Hey there, is it just me, is it the warm weather, maybe a lack of sleep... or is the search-function of drupal.org completely gone? :P

Being a Kentucky native I popped on over to the Kentucky Derby's website...and I was proud to see it standing there in all it's glory. I softly smiled and said, "how cool is that?".

If you are trying to figure out what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the fact that http://www.kentuckyderby.com/2008/ is using the Drupal platform. Just thought I'd share this with the rest of you horse racing and drupal fans.

Go Pyro!

Just thought to mention a shop I set up on Cafepress.com with Drupal tshirts and other merchandise:

Hope you like the designs! Some proceeds I will donate back to the Drupal Foundation!

*If this is seen as spamming please take it off, that is not my intent.

Boing Boing just linked to a company in California looking for a Drupal ninja. Nice!

I just noticed thate Templatemonster now has drupal templates (http://www.templatemonster.com/drupal-themes.php). This is great news for small businesses that want a goodlooking site at an affordable price.

Before I let them pick any template but the cost of converting it was never really cheap. Although I also recently discovered http://www.psd2html.com/order-now.html which would make that more affordable. Anyone has any experience with this last service?

I've just released a weather module.
You can see it in action on my website

But the Web's users decided the final cut, voting nearly two million times to select the 100 top products--10 each in of 10 categories--from our list of 300 finalists. We hope that the Drupal community is excited about being selected by your users. And we congratulate the Drupal community on offering a great Web service.

We are thrilled to announce that Google will be sponsoring 21 Drupal projects for Summer of Code 2008. We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Google, who are making more than a $100,000 investment in the Drupal project.

This year particularly, there were many more projects that we would've liked to accept than we were able to (probably due at least in part to changes Drupal made to its SoC application process this year). The mentoring team deliberated fiercely over the past two weeks, and arrived at the final acceptance list detailed in the "read more" link.

Many of the projects this year build on work done during previous Summer of Codes. Drupal core will benefit from a new aggregator, improved search scoring, OpenID attribute exchange, revamped help system and color module, SimpleTest security scanner and generalized Validation API. There are also projects focused on improvements to the Drupal.org infrastructure, including ApacheSolr search, version control API, and the much demanded plugin manager for secure, automated updating of module and themes.

Some of Drupal's major contributed modules will also gain, including Views as widgets, Views RDF/XML/JSON output, Views & CCK chart support, extensions to Nodequeue and OAuth support for Services.

There's also a healthy component of brand new functionality, including an image manipulation GUI, memetracker, bookings API, Icon module, document import module and Usability testing suite.

If you'd like to keep up on Summer of Code happenings, would like to volunteer to help test students' projects, and/or would like to help students as they find their way in our community, please join the SoC 2008 working group and help out in whatever ways you can. Also check out Planet SoC to read blog entries from Summer of Code students across all mentoring organizations.

Here's to another great summer! :) Read on to find more details about Drupal's accepted proposals.

This is the Drupal 5 version of the api.drupal.org docs in CHM format. I will be updating this and the version file from time to time. These files help with getting to know the drupal core because they are easier to read and are searchable.

There is a little bug in the Drupal documentation system. It seems that the documentation from each version bleeds over to the next. Nothing is completely seperate. For this reason I will continue to create new builds.

http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/node/3716

I am also looking for sponsers and donations. I need some type of income so that I can devote more time to portable documentation of Drupal and other content management systems. It is my hope that Hiveminds Magazine will help PHP developers come up speed faster when working in different systems by not having to surf and search (all PHP CMS projects have sucky search) the entire net for information and code.

Feel to leave suggestions on things you would like to see or find missing.

Did you know, in just the last seven days, 28 new Drupal modules were released? Drupal is more active than ever, and staying up to date with the latest and greatest is a real challenge.

So, to make life a little easier for everyone, I've created a New Modules list over at DrupalModules.com. You can even subscribe to it via RSS. Now it's easy to keep track of new modules :)

I've also added feeds for the Top Modules list and the Latest Reviews list. More details here.

Need reliable Drupal hosting?

The business world is certainly starting to notice Drupal, as evidenced by this article in Businessweek naming Dries as a top 30-and-under innovator for 2008.

Make sure you have a solid business plan and you've done your homework and are passionate about what you are doing, and people will recognize your potential.
--Dries Buytaert, in Businessweek

Businessweek talks about Drupal and Acquia, and mentions many of the great sites that have been built in Drupal. They cite the number of businesses using Drupal at being around 250,000.

Also among the top innovators are Garrett Camp of StumbleUpon, Joe Green of Causes, Drew Houston of Dropbox, David Ulevitch of OpenDNS, and others.

Congratulations are in order to Dries and to all of you, the people who are working so hard to make Drupal a great product.

From Abril 17 to 19, FISL (the International Free Software Forum, yes they use Drupal) is taking place in Porto Alegre, Brasil and Drupal is not missing it.

With a quite improvised banner, and with Firefox people next door, Drupal users are meeting up. There are no stickers, but we are having the same fun. People are coming from Campinas, Florianópolis, São Paulo, Porto Alegre, and other towns, knowing each other and discussing the future steps for the Brazilian community.

Two presentations on Drupal were/will be given in FISL, both are cases of Drupal ports. José San Martin and me presented on Thursday the (coming) port of Dicas-L, an important mailing list for sysadmins, to Drupal. On Saturday, Helal Ferreira and Guilherme Tussolino will be presenting the port of Democratas party to Drupal.

Today we're meeting here, why not a Drupal conference in the future?

I don't remember who or when but someone asked for this. So since I was doing some site documentation at work and found myself in need of a test case to get doxygen configued. I threw together a quickie CHM that mostly mirrors api.drupal.org

Just thought I'd tell the community...... (a must see!)

http://www.templatemonster.com/drupal-themes.php

Hi all!
As a part of my course on Usability Design at the University of Leuven (Belgium), I'm doing a user and task analysis on Drupal.
I have started a user survey to collect useful data on the users of Drupal. With this data, I will create user profiles and personas to reflect some typical user groups of Drupal.

The survey can be found here: http://drupalsurvey.vanisterdael.be/index.php?sid=76524

It would be fantastic if you would like to dedicate 10 minutes of your day to participate in the survey. You may choose to fill out the survey anonymously or you can leave your e-mail address and I will send you my final report (in Dutch).

Thanks in advance!!!

Koen Van Isterdael
