Freenode IRC channel problem fixed
On July 5th the #drupal channel on the Freenode IRC network had the freenode webchat gateway silenced. This was not noticed until today (July 29th). The block has been removed and information is flowing as designed. We apologize to all users who came through the webchat and were not heard in the room. If you are not getting a response in a particular channel feel free to try look in other channels such as #drupal-contribute where we gather to make Drupal better (come join us) or #drupal-support (where the more involved support queries get discussed). The community welcomes everyone in IRC.

Hearst's LMK uses Drupal to create Facebook, iPhone and Android apps
Hearst has incubated a startup to prove that multichannel publishing can be both cost-effective and profitable.
LMK, which stands for "Let Me Know" is "a startup within a large enterprise," says Christina Bender, senior director of product and project management at LMK.com. The division is fast, nimble, and taking a unique approach to the app environment. Instead of trying to figure out how to make apps for Hearst's brands, the group has figured out how to develop apps in a scalable and cost-effective manner.
From idea to app in 60 minutesThe company has developed a means of creating iPhone/iPad apps, Android apps and Facebook apps via its content management system, Drupal. Bender described how one LMK team member, using a collection of RSS feeds, could create an LMK app on all three environments in under an hour. With apps for Alex Rodriguez and Lady Gaga, LMK needs to be able to create apps quickly and easily to execute their "long tail" app strategy. These apps are priced at $0.99 to $1.99 and are very niche. So, the time and financial investment need to be kept low.

The distinction player Lawrence Taylor LT, man
Some very dirty details came on the personal life of former baseball star Kirby Puckett was light a few years ago I understand that the risk of throwing admiration for an athlete.
The danger is that we do not know these people, and while we seem to be moral, law-abiding citizens, and often just do not know can be admired. Details inappropriate Puckett's personal life has been a great disappointment, but how would we know? This player seems to be what we want to have a sporting hero. There was little evidence of a hidden dark side.
We do not really think that with the excuse of Lawrence Taylor, and everything that made Big Blue No. 56 jersey in your closet, no one responsible, but hang himself.
Anyone who has watched football was 1981-1993 based in Taylors admire the impressive football skills, the way in which we may never see again.
We knew that Taylor was a suspicious character, and if a player who we would have needed pedestrian Giant C-class, sophisticated and wealthy NFL franchise in the C-cut links with this disgrace.
That would never happen Cn'arriverait ever, because Taylor was the terror of the defense was taking it, the Giants at the highest level he did in 30 years. Taylor was the power that was taken from Big Blue, after 18 years in the playoffs, a team playoff perennials and nearly two times winner of the Super Bowl.

Drupal Site in First Lady Michelle Obama's "Apps for Healthy Kids" contest
Break pal - Fitness at Your Desk (http://www.breakpal.com). An online workplace wellness application built using drupal and adobe air has been accepted into First Lady Michelle Obama's " Apps for healthy kids competition.
The competition is to inspire application developers to develop utilities or games which inspire kids and adults to eat healthier and develop better exercise habits. Break Pal does both by reminding users to exercise at intervals and then delivers office safe micro-workouts right to the desktop.
Exercises are mostly Qigong, cardio kung fu, and yoga based.
Social networking aspects are also used to create accountability.
If the application wins it will be heavily promoted by the whitehouse and very likely will end up being used by millions of school children, businesses, and individuals to help them stay healthy and eat right
Please help this drupal site win the competition by voting for it at

The redesign gets a boost
At the Drupal Association retreat in San Francisco, the general assembly set the completion of the drupal.org redesign as its number one priority for 2010. The assembly agreed to fund five contracts to help eliminate obstacles that had prevented the community from completing the redesign.
Five key roles were identified: Architect, Solr developer, Project module developer, and an infrastructure developer. The association also elected to upgrade Drupal.org code repository from CVS to Git to help maintain Drupal.org as the hub of Drupal development.
Hiring process:Job descriptions were developed in conjunction with both the redesign volunteers and the Drupal.org project managers, Kieran Lal, Chris Strahl, and Lisa Rex. The job descriptions were then posted to groups.drupal.org for 3 weeks. Approximately 35 applications were received and a dozen interviews were conducted by the project management team. The contracts were negotiated with Drupal Association Interim General Manager Jacob Redding, to whom the project team reports directly. Contractors work day-to-day with the project management team. The association will pay for the contract work using the funds raised through memberships, advertising, partnerships, affiliates, and DrupalCon sponsorships.
Scheduled downtime
Drupal.org will have some scheduled downtime, Wednesday 21st of July, 22:00 UTC (3PM PDT, 6PM EDT). We will be enhancing the usability of the drupal.org issue queues. Since the drupal.org database is quite large, this can take a while. We hope to be back in one hour.
DrupalCon Copenhagen: Initial program
After reviewing 240 sessions submitted for the conference, the track chairs, the Copenhagen team and the Drupal Association are proud to present the DrupalCon Copenhagen program.
The total of 94 sessions is made up of 83 regular sessions, 6 platinum sponsor sessions, 3 keynotes and 2 rounds of lightning talks.
The session selection accounts for many factors including attendee votes, addressing the breadth of interests of DrupalCon attendees, and providing a balanced and compelling program. For example, some sessions were picked because they were essential for introducing new developers to Drupal, other sessions were selected because they present important local Drupal business cases, etc.
If you proposed a session that didn't make it into the program, please consider presenting it at the Unconference on August 23rd or run it as a Birds of a Feather session. We will be adding more information about these options to the website in the coming weeks.
You can either see the sessions selected for each track below, or take a look at the program overview. Please bear in mind that this is not the final program and that sessions are likely to be moved around as we refine it.
