DrupalCon Brussels 2006: over 30 presentations scheduled

By dries on

In one month from now, we'll kick off DrupalCon Brussels. We're happy to announce that the conference program is now online at http://drupalcon.org/schedule. Check it out!

We'll have more than 30 presentations (including tutorials and trainings) by outstanding Drupal community members. Clearly, DrupalCon Brussels will go into history as one of the most important Drupal events to learn and network together.

If you are attending, make sure to register and to indicate which presentations you are likely to attend. More information about the registration and sign up process is available at the DrupalCon announcement. A list of all registered attendees (fill out your profiles!) is available at http://drupalcon.org/attendees.

Note also that we'll have a Drupal booth at EuroOSCON, taking part in their Dot Org Day. Many of us are going to camp out at GovCamp Brussels and BarCamp Brussels. You have to register for these events separately so don't forget to do so if you plan on attending. Lastly, if you want to join some of us at EuroOSCON you can use the special registration code (euos06nnd35) for a 35% discount on EuroOSCON fees! Thanks O'Reilly!

Forms API reaches version 2.0

By adrian on

Thanks to the diligent work of Chx, Eaton, Moshe and many other members of the community, we have made enough advancements with the Drupal
Forms API for the next release, that I have made the decision to call this release version 2.0. Apart from several fixes to the system, these developers have added features which allow us to do so much more with the API.

Read on for a description of what's new and what we are now capable of building.

Some love for Drupal Digest...

By Max Bell on

I'd figured when Drupal Digest went on-line, it'd have turned up (however briefly) on the main page, here, but I'm not finding it. The premise is simple; Moshe and Angela have begun turning the Development, Documentation and CVS mailing lists into RSS feeds, for those of us, like me, who get totally lost trying to follow dialogs they aren't engaged in.

Definately something to add to the newsreader.

APC article about Drupal

By omar on

The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) recently published an article entitled "Non-profits take to Drupal... increasingly and intensely" under the "Internet & ICTs for Social Justice and Development News" banner. APC's decision to increase its involvement in Drupal is *yet more* good news for the Drupal community.

For those of you who do not know APC, they are an "international network of civil society organisations dedicated to empowering and supporting groups and individuals working for peace, human rights, development and protection of the environment, through the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), including the internet."

The move beyond the "on-line brochure" approach of the 90's is far from finished and articles such as this help ensure that Drupal will remain squarely in the sights of the international civil society organisations as they continue to develop increasingly sophisticated on-line strategies.

Boston Meetup #3 - jQuery presentation at MIT Media Lab

By moshe weitzman on

The Boston users group is meeting for the third time. We are privileged this time with an outstanding speaker and a world class host location. John Resig will present an overview of his jQuery javascript library. This library is poised for inclusion in Drupal core. Jquery will help us all write cleaner, more powerful javascript which leads to more usable and even AJAXy web pages.
