Drupal Admin Password Reset via XSS

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Mar/0115.html

"However, the Drupal account page doesn't require users to enter
the current account password in order to change the password to a new
value. This flaw, combined with a well crafted XSS attack, could be
used to change a user's password to an arbitrary value. "

DrupalConVideo.com

I would like to announce the launch of DrupalConVideo.com . Please read before you think this is another video site, or a site trying to rip off the DrupalCon name.

This is our goal as we have it posted on our site:

Our goal is to bring Drupal to Japan and at the same time help spread it around the world. We realize the incredible power within Drupal, but as Japan has been left out we felt we would do our bit to get Japan up to speed! We are here to do just that, and also help others that are in the same situation in their home countries. We are not just about DrupalCon Videos, but all things Drupal. DrupalConVideo will be a place where media and tutorials can be viewed with ease. We are not here to take anything away from the developers of the videos, tutorials and articles. All the videos, tutorials and articles will credit the authors and will provide links and information about them. Without them , there would be no Drupal and this site would not exist.

Drupal for collaborative innovation networks: Collaborationninjas need your help!

My name is Alice-Marie Archer, and I am a working on a collaborative thesis towards a masters in 'Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability' at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden. My peers (Rong Fei, Rebecca Petzel), and I are exploring how collaborative innovation networks can contribute to transformational change towards a sustainable society.

This research builds on an initial inquiry undertaken by NESTA (UK), Beyond Zero (UK) and innovation design student Ed Murfitt into the collaborative potential of the web for social innovations. We are working with this group, currently known as the collaboration ninjas, to build a living, on-going web based resource (ad-interim site: http://collaborationninja.wordpress.com/) to provide strategic and practical guidance for people interested in utilizing this potential for environmental and social innovations.

So this is a notification of the collaboration ninja project and a request for assistance in maximising the potential of the resource by making is user friendly and open: (http://collaborationninja.wordpress.com/improve-this-website/).

Pregnancy.org relaunched on Drupal - a case study

DrupalCon DC 2009 note: Ben Jeavons and Matthew Saunders of pingVision and Mollee Bauer, founder/owner of Pregnancy.org, will be making a case study presentation of the design and development of Pregnancy.org at 6:00 pm, Wednesday, March 4th at DrupalCon. [See the DrupalCon DC 2009 schedule.] Any videos or supplementary materials from that presentation will be linked here sometime after the presentation.

Since 2001, Pregnancy.org has been an informational and community resource for women about fertility, pregnancy, labor and child care. In November 2008, Pregnancy.org was relaunched in Drupal 6, with a new design and development by pingVision.

The site ran previously in a highly modified version of PHP-Nuke which had gotten so unmanageable that the managers were posting static pages and building navigation just to avoid having to deal with Nuke's increasingly cumbersome quirks. The site was also fitted with several custom "tools," providing special features for site members who were pregnant, wanting to get pregnant, or have babies. Forums on the site ran in vBulletin.

Even with these drawbacks, the site was enjoying high activity by site members, and very good search engine rankings. And yet, with the software the way it was, and the design growing a bit stale, Pregnancy.org founder and CEO Mollee Bauer retained pingVision to implement an entire revamp of the site across the board, from a new logo to the back-end software.
