The M.I.T. Technology Review has published their annual list of 35 young innovators under the age of 35. The name that jumped out of the page at me was of course Drupal's very own founder, Dries Buytaert:

The Internet has made publishing on a global scale almost effortless. That's the rhetoric, anyway. The truth is more complicated, because the Internet provides only a means of distribution; a would-be publisher still needs a publishing tool. A decade ago, people who wanted such a tool had three choices, all bad: a cheap but inflexible system, a versatile but expensive one, or one written from scratch. What was needed was something in the ­middle, requiring neither enormous expense nor months of development--not a single application, but a platform for creating custom publishing environments. For tens of thousands of sites and millions of users, that something is Drupal....

Head over to the M.I.T. Technology Review site for a full profile on Dries and Drupal written up by Clay Shirky (author of Here Comes Everybody).

Rock on Drupal!

Hey,

I'm the owner of Streetread.com - you may remember reviewing the site on here about a month ago. If you don't, Streetread is an innovative, ajax-driven, news aggregator for Wall Street - collecting news from over 20 of the leading financial sites as well as all of the stocks you choose to follow. The interface and data available are very complex (jQuery - Drupal).

In lieu of user-demand and general sense I've decided to roll out a mobilized version of the site - with surprisingly no loss in features or convenience. Even more surprisingly was that I was able to complete the mobile development and design in two days. Like the rest of the site, it's built completely on Drupal (first complex mobile drupal app?).

I'm coming here for the great help and intelligence that defines this community. If anyone is interested in helping to test out this service - I would greatly appreciate it. It seems all of the coding is completely functional; my main concern is device compatibility.

Hello,

Noob question I think. But I am wondering if the ruling by the US government will impact the Drupal community. Will this decision impact some of our larger Drupal sites?

Looking for a way to show your support for Drupal? Easy: sponsor the upcoming European Drupalcon. You'll be helping to fund critically important work--and increasing your exposure and profile in the community at the same time.

Drupalcon is the single largest source of revenue for the Drupal Association, the non-profit that supports Drupal. Sponsorship revenues make it possible for us to tackle key Association priorities, from protecting the legal integrity of the Drupal codebase to improving the infrastructure driving drupal.org.

Revenue from past Drupalcons is directly funding pressing projects like our top priority this year: improving the drupal.org website. Sponsoring Drupalcon is a direct and concrete way to financially support the Association's work.

Sponsoring Drupalcon is not just a way to support important work promoting the Drupal platform. It's also an opportunity for exposure and profile in the Drupal community.

South by Southwest (SXSW) is an annual festival and conference held every spring in Austin, Texas, dedicated to bringing together creative indviduals from around the world for a week-long celebration of music, film, and interactive technology. The interactive portion of the festival features over 150 panel discussions on cutting-edge topics in the new media industry and culture, as well as a trade show, Web Awards Competition, video game tournament, and some great after-parties.

Not only was the main SXSW Web site recently redesigned and relaunched in Drupal, but there are a number of really great Drupal-related panel proposals suggested for the interactive festival, which which will be held March 13-17, 2009. We need your help to make sure that Drupal is well-represented at SXSW because it offers an opportunity to reach out to a lot of new people who are not part of the traditional developer community. This past spring's festival included a Content Management System Roundup panel with George DeMet and Tiffany Farriss of Palantir and Jeff Eaton of Lullabot that attracted more attendees than all of Drupalcon Boston.

You have the opportunity to register your support for these proposals by going to the Interactive Festival Panel Picker, which is a Web site that allows you to review, vote for, and comment on all of the more than 1200 panel proposals that were submitted. The festival's organizers take feedback from this site into account when making their decisions for which panels are included in the final program. You can create an account and register your opinions regardless of whether you're planning to attend or not. The Panel Picker will be open until August 29, and the final panel selections will be announced starting in October.

If you’re interested in having Drupal represented at SXSW, providing positive feedback for these session proposals is a great and easy way to show your support:

There has been a lot of work going on in the Docs team lately and we want to share that with the larger community.

It will be listed along with the other handbooks on the main Documentation landing page as well as be the new target for the Contribute tab. We have also been working on other plans and ideas to collaborate on the docs. Here is a run down of the cool stuff we have to shout about.
