Join the Open-Source, CMS Market Research Survey!

Intelgio is conducting a thorough Open-Source, CMS Market Research
Survey. The results of the survey will be distributed back to
Open-Source, CMS projects so that they can have accurate demographic
information of who it is that visits their sites and use open-source CMS
tools. It is through this information that these projects will have the
opportunity to identify the best advertising and affiliate programs for
their website, which would encourage a higher level of participation
from visitors - Thus increasing funding for the projects.

Donations update and thanks!

Drupal Thanks! Poster
On behalf of everyone who organized the fundraising, we want to extend a huge Thank You to everyone who donated and made this effort a monumental success!

In 48 hours, we managed to pull in just over $10,000 in mostly small donations from more than 250 generous folks. That's more than 300% of our intended goal -- an incredible feat for the Drupal community!

To maximize the benefit of your donations, we've partnered with the Open Source Lab at Oregon State University (thanks Scott and Corey!), and, in short order, have come up with a fantastic plan for the future infrasturcture of Drupal.org.

What do you think about the result of this test?

greetings from germany, Holger

Restoring Drupal.org and Murphy's law

After what can only be described as the 'Extended Weekend from Hell', Drupal.org has been restored and is back in business.

First things first: what caused this outage, and why did it take so long to get the server back up? To phrase it simply and bluntly: misfortune, bad timing and miscommunication. Murphy's (annoying) law has been proven true once again.

New contributed module: Simplenews

Simplenews is a simple to use, but powerful newsletter module which allows both anonymous as well as registered users to subscribe. It offers on-site overview pages and RSS-feeds of published newsletters.

Take a look at the project page or at some screenshots.

All thoughts, comments and suggestions to improve this module are welcome!
