I recently finished a full week of Drupal for non-profit events, where I met quite a number of good people, learned about some great projects, and gave out some advice to organizations looking to make the switch to Drupal. Let's start in D.C.
It's been a busy fall here in the Pacific Northwest. In the last two months the area has hosted no less than four Drupal events.
Things kicked off in late September with DrupalCamp Victoria. A couple weeks later was the Seattle Drupal Clinic, an event specifically focused at introducing new users to Drupal. Two weeks after that was DrupalCamp Portland, and finally last week a group of Drupal luminaries gathered in Vancouver for the Drupal Contrib Code Sprint, which resulted in usable versions of Views and Coder for Drupal 7!
Phew, that's a lot of Drupal! The best part is it's not over yet, Seattle will close off the Drupal season with the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit this coming weekend, October 24-25.
Thanks to a late invitation from the good people at PBS Engage, I am now set to head up to Washington D.C. for the first PublicMedia Camp event this weekend.
PublicMedia Camp is the brainchild of NPR and PBS, and is designed as "an initiative to strengthen the relationship that public broadcasters have with their communities through the creation of collaborative projects." This mission is an extension of the work I have been doing with PBS Engage, which is an ongoing project to change how PBS and its member stations interact with their audiences.
Everyone knows the top-tier Drupal modules, but with over 4,000 modules available for Drupal it's no surprise that many useful modules go unnoticed. As part of its mission to make the web a better place, Palantir is presenting this series of articles on modules you haven't met that may yet get you a good night's sleep.
