Truthout.org running drupal

I noticed that truthout.org just did a major upgrade to their site. It used to be really horrible. Now it looks clean and the posts have comments. When I looked closer, sure enough, it is drupal.

Cool!

Vote for Drupal on SourceForge.net!

SourceForge.Net is a site which strongly believes in Open Source and what it stands for, in much the same way as the Drupal Community. Every year they host a competition where their community votes for their favourite packages and this year is no different. After reading through the Program Information I cannot see any reason why we shouldn't try to get Drupal up there ("Any open source project of any kind can be nominated by anyone (yes, that means you!) to be a finalist in any category" - from their website).

On their site they say "This is for the prize" in regard to voting, however I'm not completely sure if the prize is simply winning or if there is some financial gain for the Drupal Association.

So, lets try to get Drupal nominated for an award on Sourceforge.Net...

gmaplocation - module for geographic location via Google Maps

The gmaplocation is Drupal 5.7 module that allow displaying of your geographic location via Google Maps. It has following features:

  • show Google Maps with marker on your location
  • editor can drag marker to fine-tune position in case when geolocating from address is not accurate
  • creates a block with static image of map and link to gmaplocationpage

This module resulted from internal needs of our company, we belive it has place especially in creating brochure and company profile web sites with Drupal.
