After reading Dries’ post about music, I was inspired and I wanted to do something with this. And I don’t want to go out to record people, I wanted people to record themselves. But I asked myself, “who should I ask?” And I came up with an answer - Drupal! Then of course, the next question, what song? The Drupal song of course!

I want anyone who can play any sort of music, no matter the instrument, to help out! Read on to find out how.

I created a Twitter account that just tweets all Drupal Planet posts - @drupalplanet.

The schedule for Drupalcon DC has been announced and I’m on it three times! Yay!

The three sessions I will be (co-) presenting are: jQuery (by myself), which is an updated version of my past jQuery presentations, Installation Profiles (with Hagen Graf), about installation profiles, and Intro to SimpleTest (with Florian Lorétan, Nathaniel Catchpole, and Jimmy Berry)

And, it’s only two weeks away!

Happy new year everyone!

For my new year post, instead of posting my reflections of last year and hopes for this coming year, I’m going to present you with a shell script that will help you create and review patches.

I’m going, are you?

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve put a Drupalcon DC banner on my site. I’m going to be there - March 4-7.

I’ve also submitted 3 session proposals: jQuery, the talk I gave last Drupalcon, at BADCamp ‘07, and as a Google TechTalk, Install profiles, an area I have expertise in but have never talked about, and Theming, a talk I gave at BADCamp ‘07 with a huge outcome (the room was over-full), but was never repeated.

I’m registered for BADCamp - how about you? I’ll be there on both days, and hopefully I’ll present!

Today submitted a proposal to the Knight Drupal Initiative. It’s main purpose is to build a new site that is loosely like the dojo, with hopes to re-start the community.

I had four reactions to this, that went in this order:

1. CONGRATS
2. Does she have time for this with the book and everything?
3. Oh wait. She said the book would be DONE by Drupalcon.
4. 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!

Yesterday I went to LinuxWorld Expo, and I was an exhibitor for the Drupal booth.

It was a lot of fun, and it seemed that in general people liked what we were showing them - Drupal!

My newest project is fixing up and improving SimpleTest Automator, and adding lots of new features. If you don’t know what SimpleTest Automator is or does, read on for an explanation. Please leave your comments about what you would like to see from the next version, as I am coding it :).
