Dries Buytaert, Drupal's founder and project lead, presents his six-monthly keynote at Drupalcon, and sets out where he thinks Drupal needs to go. Dries starts by talking about a highly visible sign of growth in Drupal — 8 years ago he and half of the conference delegates were able to fit into one hotel room for drinks on the night before the event opened. This year,...

Today was a tribute to the Druplicon, our community's iconic Drupal drop: Lashing rain and a river of 3300 Drupalistas (biggest Drupalcon ever) flowing into a sea of attractions: Sessions and BOFs, the exhibit hall, a hilarious game-show moderated by Rob and JAM, Holly Ross' and Dries' keynote, the group picture, you name them. It's just amazing to see how the Drupal community is growing from...

I'm getting ready to head in to DrupalCon, where over the next few days I'll be talking education and open learning with anyone who is interested. And as I'm heading in, I have MOOCs on the brain - not because I'm particularly a fan of MOOCs, but because of the tendency to take a great thing (in this case, information and interpersonal exchanges distributed broadly over the web) and reduce it...

Last Friday the annual one-day DrupalJam conference was held in the Rotterdam Feyenoord soccer stadium. The conference, which saw its eighth edition - if I recall correctly - is shifting to be more business focused with its new motto Drupal beyond the code, and was a great success with over a 100 participants. This blog post serves as a high-level summary of a couple of the talks...

This is an intervention. CSS is pretty simple. Classes, IDs, elements and pseudo-elements, with style definitions attached to each. Calling it a "language" is a bit of a stretch (though preprocessors like Sass fit the bill). But let's be honest, for years our stylesheets cascaded right on out to infinity. Huge files with table-of-contents comments to try to make some sense of it — until a quick...

The first time I hosted code, I did it on Github. Naturally, I got really used to the slick interface for browsing through my remote files, viewing my commits, and generally visualizing what I had hosted on their site. So when I started contributing code to drupal.org, I felt like I was working in the dark. I'd send up my commits and branches, and trust that they were up there, even if I couldn't...

In this article I am going to show you how to embed a View in a template file (.tpl). Using a cool Views API function, you can render the display of any View and even pass it arguments.

A couple of months ago, after a particularly furious week of trying to contribute something useful to Drupal core, I woke up one morning to a see a lot of activity on my twitter account (Pretty much unheard of for me).  I had received this tweet from webchick (Angie Byron). @alasdaircf Hey, thanks for all the CMI conversion patches! Keep 'em comin'! :D  This was an amazing feeling as Angie is one...

Just posted a new blog post to the Server Check.in blog: Moving functionality to Node.js increased per-server capacity by 100x. Here's a snippet from the post: One feature that we just finished deploying is a small Node.js application that runs in tandem with Drupal to allow for an incredibly large number of servers and websites to be checked in a fraction of the time that we were checking them...
