Drupal.org front page got a prestigious Google Page Rank of 9

Congratulation Drupal for achieving Google Page Rank 9. This means hundreds of thousands of pages link drupal.org today. And for a good reason. Drupal has grown into the best open source CMS (inmho) in the world with a great community and great plans for future development! Thank you everyone!

Good times at FrOSCon 2007

Update: Session videos are available!

This last weekend we held a Drupal track as part of FrOSCon 2007. It was a great success.

The two day event celebrated its second year by getting bigger, better, more interesting, and by having a lot more Drupal. We had a lecture room that saw 20-50 people in attendance for the 12 lectures. Upstairs we had a developers' room which was a bit out of the way and badly advertised (something that we can do better next year), so fewer people were there to participate in Drupal hacking.

Lots of great presentations were given by familiar names such as Gábor Hojtsy, Gerhard Killesreiter, Károly Négyesi, Konstantin Käfer and myself. Others made their Drupalcon debut: Olav Schettler, Marco Rademacher, Balázs Dianiska, and Jutta Horstmann.

DrupalCon wannabe attendees: IRC meet to unite and plan!

Over on the DrupalCon website on this thread, I've made an effort to consolidate all remaining people who are wanting to go to DrupalCon in Barcelona next month, but as yet aren't, for whatever reason.

If you're looking to go, but are worried about accommodation, travel, etc, please visit the thread for more details. If you're already going, you'd be welcome also, to give advice or suggestions.

Anyone with accommodation to offer, potential taxi shares, available with motor vehicles etc is doubly welcome. I will do my best to create some reasonable google spreadsheet to share details of flights, hostels, addresses, (etc!).
