Neurowebcast We recently completed a relatively small, but really cool Drupal v6 microsite that exemplifies to me how open-source is impacting traditional advertising channels (i.e. print, TV, radio, etc.). Unfortunately, the website (Neurowebcast.com) is for invite only guests, but works similarly to other messaging chats you have probably seen online. Our collaborators on the project, Shaw Science Partners and Turner Studios, are two Atlanta based organizations with world-class reputations in their respective fields. Shaw is one of the leading pharmaceutical marketing agencies in the world, and work closely with prominent thought leaders in the medical community. Turner Studios is a subsidiary of Turner Entertainment Group (TEG) and provides turnkey services for film, video, and audio production. read more »

Why the Marketing of Drupal is Critical

There was some little reported financial news that came out of Wall Street last month that did not make much traction in the Drupalsphere, but it should – particularly to our partner Acquia and those of us in the open source world. The news was that the darling of commercial open-source business models, Red-Hat, reported that business is good, very good, despite the global economic recession. To capsulate, Red-Hat revenue was up 11%, earnings up 25% share, and the stock price over 45% this year. You see Acquia has long asserted that they aspire to be to Drupal what Red Hat has become to Linux. read more »

Drupal.org better_formats module review - Set default input formats
Jul 19, 2009
Best Practices | Drupal | Module Development | Open Source
 
This is a quick review of a module that needs to make your "rotation," that is, a group of core modules you install on every project.

Drupal has different input formats that can be assigned to different roles, great, right? Well what's annoying about input formats is that by default you can't give a default input format based on a role. So what happens usually is that "filtered html" is the default format and even though the editor of the site has permissions for "full html" they will unknowingly add a new page or story as "filtered html" and wonder why they're images aren't showing up.   read more »
