I'm attending the Drupal testing code sprint in Paris and my goals are to graduate from the Károly and Jimmy's school of Drupal unit testing class make a dent in the unit test coverage. With this certificate, I'll extend what I learn to all via general community participation and to a much higher degree with other Acquia developers like Gábor Hojtsy, Barry Jaspan and Vladimir Dolgopolov.

Acquia is starting to build Drupal demos and we’d like the community’s input on today's coolest Drupal capabilities to highlight. These demos will be targeted at people who have never heard about Drupal or maybe think it is "a blogging CMS." Right now we're focusing on building a very short demo in the 2-4 minute range that will be based around a story of a company wanting to create social buzz for the community of people who might use its products. We're looking for maximum impact in minimum time.

In my new role as the Drupal community adventure guide I am taking a look at where Drupal is growing. One part of the Drupal community that is really hot is http://groups.drupal.org.

Moshe Weitzman and the team of administrators at groups.drupal.org have hit an important growth milestone. For the second time in 4 months groups.drupal.org has over a million page views a month! I think that makes it a certifiable web 2.0 hot property ;-)

Later today at OSBC, I'll be joining a panel discussion of the results of the 2008 Future of Open Source survey led by by Michael Skok, general partner at North Bridge Venture Partners and CEOs of Ingres, MySQL, and SugarCRM.
