The Dojo Toolkit website is now running on Drupal 5.1
The site is currently using a modified version of the garland theme. I am going to spend some time trying to compile a list of modules they are using and hopefully extract any javascript goodies they have been using. Needless to say they are using the Dojo framework instead of the default jQuery that is packaged along with Drupal.
The Drupal contribution tree is flooded with a bunch of different flickr modules. The only 2 maintained modules are flickr and flickrmodule. One of which is maintained by me. Andrew Morton and I have decided to merge our work. We have a great road map. We have already started splitting our code into smaller modules, I am targeting a preview release of the module by the first week of January.
I will be fading http://www.drupal.org/project/flickrmodule away, the final release being for Drupal 4.7.
Once upon a time (way back in 2002) people laughed at me when I said I only know Ruby or asked me what is Ruby? Hence I learnt PHP. Now Ruby is the new PHP just like how white is the new black, and tags the new taxonomy.
Now I feel sad for all the time I wasted learning PHP. Only good thing with PHP is I get to mess around with Drupal. Just crossing my fingers that IO or Python does not turn out to be the new Ruby... at least for a few years more.
Mood: Depressed..
We have finally stopped accepting applications for the internship program. Now this is where the grunt work begins. We have started the phone interview process. The application turn out was better than expected, we got about 57 entries. I will be spending the weekend generating some nice charts and stats about the people who applied (age, locations etc).
If you need any information please stop by #drupal-india on irc.freenode.net. More information about the internship is available on "Drupal India":http://www.drupal.in
With 75,000+ Drupal power websites and an emerging industry supporting over 150 professionals, the open-source Drupal project and community is exploding. At the heart of this community is an incredibly active and productive group of contributors. Creating contributed modules, themes, bug fixes, and core enhancement, these individuals define the course of the Drupal project and the ecosystem of users, tinkerers, and professionals around it.
Through this internship program we will attempt to train students from India the ins and outs of Drupal and help them established themselves as long term contributors to the Drupal project. Over two months the selected students will work closely with project mentors on real world Drupal projects; contributed modules, and core patches.

Today I release the MX4 Drupal Port to the world, come get it while its hot. This is still in beta. Chris Messina and I are knocking of some minor bugs before we can publish it to the Drupal website. So here is the unofficial download for the theme. Hopefully it should be stable by the end of this weekend.

If you have any bugs or comments, please add it here.
_Chris demoed this theme at Druplicon/OSCON 2005. I am soo happy_
bq. Moblog is a blend of the words mobile and weblog. A mobile weblog, or moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such as a cellular phone or PDA. Moblogs generally involve technology which allows publishing from a mobile device. --Wikipedia
You can start moblogin under Drupal in less than 10 minutes. There are a couple of bloging clients that you can use. Some of them are free and some are charged services. I picked PicoBlogger2 because, it does not bind you to one service. PicoBlogger2 supports all the major blogging apis, flickr and their own picostation service. PicoBlogger2 also supports AutoBlogger.
*Setting up Drupal*
* Login as administrator
* Go to the module settings page
* Enable BlogAPI module and save your changes
* Go to the BlogAPI Module settings page.
* Setup Drupal to use MoveableType API
The configuration for drupal is now complete. You will now need to setup your blog client.
*Installing and setting up PicoBlogger2*
PicoBlogger2 currently supports Winmobile and SymbianOS
* Get the latest copy of PicoBlogger2 from: http://www.picostation.com/downloads.aspx
* Extract and Install the file, refer to the documentation for this.
* Launch PicoBlogger2 on your phone or pda
* You will now be asked to setup a default PicoStation account. This is not required but its is recommended.
* Go to Blog Accounts
* Select "MoveableType API"
* Your end point should be something like this, http://www.mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php
* The other fields are pretty self explanatory.
* Save your account.
And thats about it :) Happy mobloging. Thanks to PicoStation for creating such a good client and most of all keeping it open.
