News and announcements

Hello all,
I just wanted to officially announce the launch of three new drupal sites.
These have been under development for various periods of time and I want all of you to be able to check them out and provide some feedback.

The first is The Liquid Connoisseur (http://www.theliquidconnoisseur.com)
This is a whimsical site using a Google Maps interface to browse various vineyards and breweries and the delicious beverages they produce.

Check out the new demo site at http://drupalgallery.com which uses the Gallery module to embed Gallery2 inside your Drupal installation to support photos, videos and other content. There are demos for Drupal 5 and 6.

Some of the features that you can explore include:

• Grid block of 9 random images
• Image block of random, popular and newest images
• Menu of gallery items embedded in the main Drupal menu using GalleryMenu
• Selection of user photos in user profiles using GalleryProfile
• Search of gallery items
• Image chooser (G2Image) in TinyMCE toolbar
• Gallery filter to insert images into posts using a simple syntax ([G2=itemId] syntax)

The demo site allows you to add photos and post content to test many of these features. Note that the site will reset every hour removing any new content/photos.

It was suggested by 'themegarden' on one of my tutorial comments that I post an announcement about the series of tutorials I just finished writing on 'simple theming'.

The series title is: "From HTML mockup to a full Drupal site: a tutorial".

Part I: Introduction and Installation.

Part II: Site Setup, Content and Modules.

Part III: Template Theming, Integration and Finishing Touches.

Additionally, a while back, I wrote a fairly in-depth tutorial on how I go about managing my Drupal installs with a combination of CVS and Subversion, here:

El Grupo Linux-IDES, grupo dedicado a la investigación y difusión de tecnologías basadas en software libre, reconocido por la Facultad de ciencias e Ingeniería (FACI) de la PUCP, viene organizando como parte de nuestras actividades el evento Linux Week 2008, evento que va en su tercera edición, donde se brindarán una serie de conferencias a lo largo de una semana sobre diversas áreas de aplicación del software libre.
