Announcing DrupalZA and DrupalCamp Johannesburg

I am happy to announce the formation of DrupalZA, a new DUG (Drupal User Group) for South African Drupal users, developers and designers.

Additionally I would like to announce a DrupalCamp in Johannesburg which is a a primer course, for already existing web developers that I am planning to teach somewhere around the end of June 2006. My friends at Obsidian Systems have kindly offered the use of their training center and the course will run for a total of 5 days, for 4 or 5 hours every evening.

Everything coming from Alexa should be taken with a gran of salt :)

Drupal 4.7.0 Release Candidate 2 available

We're happy to announce the second release candidate of Drupal 4.7 is now available. Since the first release candidate a week ago, 55 more issues have been fixed (the changelog lists all changes). No known critical issues remain, so unless new major problems arise, this will be the last release candidate before Drupal 4.7.0 final.

We invite you to help us test this latest release, so that 4.7.0 will be a trouble-free ride for everyone.

Drupal 4.7 RC2 can be downloaded at http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-4.7.0-rc2.tar.gz.
