Knight Foundation awards over $200,000 to Drupal-related projects

By webchick on

Today the Knight Foundation awarded $12 million in grants to various individuals and organizations to help journalism continue moving into a digital future. We're pleased to announce a couple of Drupal connections associated with this excellent initiative.

Benjamin Melançon, Co-founder of Agaric Design Collective, and Google Summer of Code student for Drupal this year, received $15,000 towards the development of a "Related Items" module for Drupal. The focus of this module will be on ease of use in connecting two pieces of content, including the ability to determine how to automatically forge connections between nodes. You can also read Benjamin's original proposal.

Lisa Williams, founder of Placeblogger and long time citizen journalist pioneer with her Boston local h2otown website, received $220,000 towards further developing Placeblogger. Placeblogger was developed using Drupal's built in aggregation ability, and customized to integrate geo and location information. The goal is to make it easier for people to find local news and information about their city or neighborhood through promotion of “universal geotagging” in blogs. Bryght worked with Lisa to help make this site a success. Find out more in Williams' announcement on Placeblogger.com.

Scheduled downtime

By killes@www.drop.org on

Drupal.org will have some scheduled downtime tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd of May, at 19:00 MEST (10am PDT, 1PM EDT, 17:00 UTC). We will be converting our database to use InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM in order to help with drupal.org performance. Since the drupal.org database is quite large, this can take a while. We hope to be back after three hours.
