Matthew Saunders: What Am I Reading? Selling Online with Drupal eCommerce
I'm about a third of the way through Michael Peacock's Selling Online with Drupal eCommerce. PACKT Publishing sent me a review copy about six weeks ago which I have now gotten down to reading. So far it seems an easy read with simple instructions on setting up an online shop. Too bad it isn't available for D6 yet!

Dmitri Gaskin: Angela Byron named core maintainer for Drupal 7
I had four reactions to this, that went in this order:
- CONGRATS
- Does she have time for this with the book and everything?
- Oh wait. She said the book would be DONE by Drupalcon.
- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I expect to see patches flying in (almost literally, except for the fact that it would take a while to fly from Montreal, her home base, to OSUOSL in Oregon, where the Drupal repositories are), especially testing patches.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more noise about this on the planet, but CONGRATS!

Wolfgang Ziegler: Drupalcon and the Rules BETA1!
I'm happy to announce the rules 6.x 1.0 BETA 1 release. Check out the rules project page and try it. Now the API is frozen and modules developers are encouraged to write module integration and to port their workflow-ng integration to rules. You can find the documentation here.
To get token support everywhere in your actions you just have to install the latest development snapshot of it.
Now basically everything is there, including support for
- firing core actions
- grouping rules in rule sets
- scheduling arbitrary rule sets
- a module input evaluation system
- and much more!
If you want to know more details about the improvements done for rules 6.x check out the development status page or the slides from the drupalcon session.
Lullabot: Drupalcon Szeged, Day 1
Whew. So day 1 of Drupalcon Szeged was a whirlwind of fun. Szeged is a very cool town. Lots of things going on, easy to get around and the weather is awesome! I'm not a good note-taker at all but here are the highlights for my day:
During Dries' State of Drupal presentation, he announced that webchick is the new maintainer for Drupal 7. Of course, Angie rocks and is taking the year by storm. It has been so cool to see her recognized so much for all the amazing things she has done and continues to do. I'm so proud to be not only her co-worker, but also her friend. Inspiring to say to the least.
Right after that I headed off to give my Gentle introduction to Drupal coding presentation (a PDF of the slides is on that page too). This was the first time I'd done this presentation and I got lots of really good feedback from folks who attended. It was quite a bit of fun and I look forward to expanding on intro coding types of presentations in the future.

CiviCRM Blog: Keep CiviCRM for Drupal 5?
My self-appointed job is to hangout around here and complain about how CiviCRM could be more like Drupal or better implemented with Drupal. Instead of banning me from the forums and IRC for being annoying, Lobo gave me blogging access. So I'm writing to share about my latest campaign to Druplify CiviCRM.

OpenSourcery: Drupalcon: Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP performance, and a Drupal performance correction
Today, on the first day of Drupalcon, Rasmus Lerdorf gave a fantastic presentation about PHP, performance, scalability and security. In this talk (the slides are available here), he discussed the writing of frameworks, and how they tend to trade off performance for what might be deemed as cleaner code. After walking through some very cool benchmarking methods (see slides 8, 14 and 16), he proceeded to benchmark some of the more popular PHP frameworks out there (slides 24 through 32). Unfortunately, when it came to Drupal, it was benchmarked without caching enabled. I have duplicated his Hello World module, and enabled it on a clean Drupal 6 install.
