Dries Buytaert hailed as one of MIT Technology Review's 2008 Young Innovators

By mohamedn on

The M.I.T. Technology Review has published their annual list of 35 young innovators under the age of 35. The name that jumped out of the page at me was of course Drupal's very own founder, Dries Buytaert:

Streetread needs Mobile Beta App Testers! (Mobile Drupal-based App)

By mstef on

Hey,

I'm the owner of Streetread.com - you may remember reviewing the site on here about a month ago. If you don't, Streetread is an innovative, ajax-driven, news aggregator for Wall Street - collecting news from over 20 of the leading financial sites as well as all of the stocks you choose to follow. The interface and data available are very complex (jQuery - Drupal).

In lieu of user-demand and general sense I've decided to roll out a mobilized version of the site - with surprisingly no loss in features or convenience. Even more surprisingly was that I was able to complete the mobile development and design in two days. Like the rest of the site, it's built completely on Drupal (first complex mobile drupal app?).

I'm coming here for the great help and intelligence that defines this community. If anyone is interested in helping to test out this service - I would greatly appreciate it. It seems all of the coding is completely functional; my main concern is device compatibility.

By 425Media on

Hello,

Noob question I think. But I am wondering if the ruling by the US government will impact the Drupal community. Will this decision impact some of our larger Drupal sites?

Support Drupal: Sponsor Drupalcon Szeged

By dries on

Update, August 20: After some more sponsors have come forward (thank you!), Drupalcon Szeged now needs about €10,000 of new sponsorship to meet costs.

Looking for a way to show your support for Drupal? Easy: sponsor the upcoming European Drupalcon. You'll be helping to fund critically important work--and increasing your exposure and profile in the community at the same time.

Drupalcon sponsorship: mainstay of the Drupal Association

Drupalcon is the single largest source of revenue for the Drupal Association, the non-profit that supports Drupal. Sponsorship revenues make it possible for us to tackle key Association priorities, from protecting the legal integrity of the Drupal codebase to improving the infrastructure driving drupal.org.

Revenue from past Drupalcons is directly funding pressing projects like our top priority this year: improving the drupal.org website. Sponsoring Drupalcon is a direct and concrete way to financially support the Association's work.

Profile and Benefits

Sponsoring Drupalcon is not just a way to support important work promoting the Drupal platform. It's also an opportunity for exposure and profile in the Drupal community.
