Our new Drupal Code of Conduct
As our community grows, it is imperative that we preserve the things that got us here; namely, keeping Drupal a fun, welcoming, challenging, and fair place to play. The new Drupal Code of Conduct (DCOC) states our shared ideals with respect to conduct. Think of this as coding standards for people. It is an expression of our ideals, not a rulebook. It is a way to communicate our existing values to the entire community.
Our friends at Ubuntu have blazed a brilliant trail in this area. They use Drupal as their CMS, and in turn we have embraced their Code of Conduct. This code of conduct is essentially identical to that used by Ubuntu, except that the name of the project has been changed, and the conflict resolution process has been removed since we don't have one.
The DCOC has been under discussion for several months on groups.drupal.org and discussed further at Drupalcon Conpenhagen. Folks who are interested in talking more about the DCOC should do so in the Drupal.org Policies group.
The short version:
- Be considerate
- Be respectful
- When we disagree, we consult others.
- When we are unsure, we ask for help.
- Step down considerately.
Case Study: StyleWorks Premium Photoshop Styles
This past March, I decided it was time to put my skills as a Drupal developer to use and launch a new online business. I knew early on that I wanted this business to be product-based, and after several weeks of playing with different ideas, I settled on selling premium Photoshop layer styles. It was the perfect opportunity to combine my love of photography and Photoshop with my passion for web development and Drupal.
Several months of product development later, StyleWorks was born. The site runs on Drupal 6, and integrates with FastSpring for e-commerce capabilities.
Designing the site: To Zen or not to Zen?After iterating through several hundred designs in Photoshop, I finally had the look I wanted to go with, and it was time to make it come alive in Drupal. But first, a key decision had to be made: Start from scratch, or go with Zen?
Cargoh.com- Drupal Ubercart powered Marketplace
In 2009 Appnovation Technologies was asked to design and develop a Drupal based community and e-commerce website called Cargoh. The driving idea behind the site is to create a “social marketplace” for independent artists from all over the world to be able to showcase and sell their products and services. It features community tools such as forums, an internal messaging system and events section.
Cargoh.com was founded by Paul and Cariann Burger when they noticed the lack of avenues for independent artists, designers and musicians to get their work to the world. They realized that some of the most talented people in the world were making them coffee in the morning at the local coffee shop. They set out to change that by creating a super accessible, highly affordable and unbelievably feature rich venue for artists, designers and musicians to sell the things they create. Above that, they wanted to create the world's best online shopping mall for all the uniquely independent products in the world. So from those two missions, Cargoh.com was born. The world's most exciting social marketplace for independent creatives!

BerlinThe Cara Program: Case Study
Founded in 1991, The Cara Program is a Chicago-based non-profit that empowers men and women affected by homelessness and poverty with the skills, confidence and resources to secure and sustain quality jobs and achieve long-term success. Since their founding, they have placed more than 2,500 individuals into full-time, rewarding positions with leading Chicago area companies such as ABM Lakeside, The Hilton Hotels, JP Morgan Chase, Sodexho, and more.
The Cara Program sought a redesign of their static website, one that engaged visitors by quickly delivering key information that was clear and concise, and could be easily maintained by Cara staff. Being a non-profit website, they also needed a way to accept donations, recruit volunteers, allow visitors to join their mailing list, and recruit sponsors and employment partners. In addition to being able to simply accept donations, they wanted to eventually “empower” donors to use social media and/or other outlets to spread the word, champion their cause and help others donate or otherwise support. The ability to share some content also needed to be a feature on The Cara Program "child" program websites: Clean Slate, Quad Communities and Career Pathways.
Duo Consulting was chosen to implement their goals and Drupal was the platform chosen.
DrupalCon Copenhagen: The program and pre- and post-conference activities
It's time for another update from DrupalCon Copenhagen! This time around we have updated information on the core developer summit, the unconference, and the code sprint.
Official ProgramFirst of all, we are happy to announce that the final version of the program is now available on the site. The few remaining slots in the schedule will be used for sponsor sessions and lightning talks. We'll try to keep schedule changes to a minimum, but if we do have to shuffle a few sessions around, this is the page to watch. Also, we'll make the entire program available as a PDF if you would rather keep it on your laptop or print a copy to keep in your pocket during the conference.
Now that the program has been finished, you can start planning your DrupalCon Copenhagen. Go to the session schedule and add all your favorite sessions to your personal schedule. You can see a list of your chosen sessions by going to your user profile and clicking the "My schedule" link.
Core Developer SummitIf you're in Copenhagen on Sunday, August 22nd, and interested in helping improve Drupal core, you should participate in the Core Developer Summit. The summit will provide opportunities both for people to discuss changes to Drupal code and processes as well as people interested to move Drupal 7 closer to release. The summit will start wit three shorts sessions by Dries Buytaert, Sam Boyer, and Jen Simmons. After the kick-off sessions, the summit will break up into two groups, with plenty of space to be fruitful and get stuff done. All ideas are welcome!
Drupal 6.19 and 5.23 released
Download Drupal 5.23
Drupal 6.18 and 5.23, maintenance releases which fix security vulnerabilities are now available for download.
Drupal 6.19 also fixes other small issues reported through the bug tracking system.
Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in these releases.

Redesign update: Sprint 1
This post is part of a series to inform the Drupal community about the drupal.org redesign project, and the work the Drupal Association is funding to help get the redesign completed. If you would like to contribute to the redesign as a volunteer, see the community initiatives redesign page. If you'd like to contribute to the redesign financially, see the Drupal Association memberships and donations pages.

With Drupal 7 down to 30 critical bugs, and Drupalcon Copenhagen just around the corner, it's only a matter of time before Drupal 7.0 ships.

Drupal-Entwicklung für Nicht-Entwickler
Da sich die Drupal-Development-Days in München an Entwickler richteten, war es sinnvoll, dem Nicht-Technikern Grundlagenwissen zu vermitteln, sodass sie von den technischeren Sessions mehr verstehen konnten. Dabei wurde auf Besonderheiten in der Terminologie wie auch auf Basiskonzepte der Drupal-Programmierung wie Drupal-Hooks eingegangen. Hier gibt's das Video und Materialien zum Vortrag. » weiterlesen
Case Study: PulpMX - Drupal as a Rich Media Hub
PulpMX.com was launched in early 2009 as a place for well-known motocross columnist Steve Matthes to post his musings about the sport and its history. Originally conceived of as a modest site, it was built in early 2009 using a stock theme with a handful of custom images, the FCKeditor and IMCE modules to provide a built-in visual editor, and little else. Over time it had grown organically as needs developed: CCK, Filefield, and SWF Tools for posting audio interviews in a built-in player, for example. In early 2010 PulpMX also took on discussion forums from a site that was no longer able to host them, so an existing phpBB installation was also imported.
The site was developing a growing following and it was becoming obvious that it needed an overhaul to better reflect the character of the site, and provide more cohesive and initiative navigation among the quickly expanding areas of the site. Says Steve:
Originally I had gotten Tooth and Nail to design me a basic site for blogs and photos, what they gave me was way better than I had thought I needed. The traffic and the new media things that I was doing (podcasts, slide shows and a live internet show) demanded that I get something new and fresh. I was now big-time I suppose.
August 2010: Drupal User Gruppe Berlin (DUB) Theming Treffen in der C-Base
Vorrangiges Ziel dieses Treffens ist es, sich in das Theming für Drupal einzuarbeiten.
Da es beim letzten Treffen nicht möglich war diese Themen abzuarbeiten, werden wir es diesmal tun.
Pascal hat sich bereit erklärt eine Einführung in das Theming "from scratch" zu geben.
Weiter können wir uns ansehen, wie wir ein fremdes Theme so einbinden können, dass unsere Modifikationen bei einem Upgrade nicht verloren gehen.
Und dann können wir weiter an der Gestaltung unserer DUB-Seite arbeiten. Wer Ideen hat ist eingeladen sie hier einzutragen.
Wer Erfahrungen mit einem bestimmten Theme gemacht hat, ist eingeladen darüber zu berichten.

BerlinGewünschte Themen für Treffen der DUB
Hallo zusammen,
da ich nicht wusste, ob das Wiki der richtige Platz für dieses Topic ist, starte ich mal eine "Diskussion" über Themen, für die Interesse besteht, sodass sich vielleicht jemand findet, der einen Vortrag halten will.
Falls es einen besseren Platz dafür gibt, bitte ich um Entschuldigung und um eine Verschiebung des Topics oder einen Link.
Was mich gerade interessiert, sind die Möglichkeiten/Einschränkungen bei mehrsprachigem Content wie Pages, Articles oder eigenen Content-Types wie z.B. Events. Insbesondere in Verbindung mit Views.
Falls sich jemand findet, der dazu etwas erzählen kann, gibt es schon mindestens einen Zuhörer, der ganz Ohr sein wird. :o)
Viele Grüße,
Maschi

FusionDrupalThemes.com case study: Packaging & selling code with Project, Ubercart, and Organic Groups
In mid-2009, TopNotchThemes started building Fusion, a theme system that would pave new ground for Drupal themes. Along with this new technology, we started dreaming of our ideal website where products could be deployed automatically, customers had access to a much more friendly account area, and of course a brand new look and feel for this new line of themes.
Our current Drupal 5 website at TopNotchThemes.com (to remain active until remaining themes are ported to Fusion) is showing its age and does not have the control we need in order to be able to adapt content and features as our visitors demand.
Launched this spring, FusionDrupalThemes.com is not only a showcase for our products, but a wonderful showcase of community and commercial synergy. It integrates Ubercart, Organic Groups, and the Project module suite to create a feature rich platform for selling code-based products.
Case Study: www.aidshilfe.de relaunch
The Deutsche Aids-Hilfe (DAH) is the leading German non-governmental organization that deals with the concerns of people living with HIV/AIDS and helps raise awareness of effective HIV prevention techniques.
As the governing body for more than 120 local AIDS service organizations, it supports this work at many different levels.
The DAH website, aidshilfe.de, is one of the organization’s main communication channels. It offers information on HIV and other sexual transmitted infections and covers the field of counseling for private matters. The website also provides contact information for local self-help-centers, a broad selection of free information material, workshops, community features, etc.
Work on the aidshilfe.de project was supported by many partners. Christoph Schüßler designed the website, which was implemented in Drupal by Berlin-based Werk21. The new aidshilfe.de is a step forward toward a future-proof system that features an attractive new design, interactive features, user-friendly community functionality and great usability.
