Drupalicon Winners

The quick reactions of some members of the Drupal community a couple of weeks ago ensured they bagged themselves a little blue Drupalicon of their own in our giveaway.

We're pleased to announce that Jonathan, John, Amye, Amanda, Oliver, and Karoly all sent a winning message via our contact form. The winners spanned the globe, from the UK and France, to Africa, Canada, and the USA.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, an attendee at Drupalcamp UK built a nifty Drupalicon tracking map to see how far they have travelled. We're hoping the winners will add themselves to the map soon!

Preventing Admin Footer Output in Drupal AJAX Calls

Some administration and debugging modules for Drupal attach their statistics to the end of Drupal rendered pages using PHP's register_shutdown_function function facility. This is great to ensure the output is always available, no matter how badly built the theme being used is.

Examples of modules adding their stats to the footer include the superb Devel package which allows outputting statistics on your database queries (or "Gunk" as its called in the source code), and the Memcache Admin UI module which provides information about the memcache bin usage.

Drupalcamp Success!

The first Drupalcamp UK was held over the weekend at the BBC Backstage in Manchester. It was a great success with a large number of visitors showing up for both days. Congratulations to Dan Smith for pulling the event together and keeping it going over the weekend.

It was great to put faces to names, and chat with developers from across the country.

Setting up Multisites in Drupal

I dipped my toe in to the world of presenting at this weekends Drupalcamp, giving a short 30 minute session on how to configure your server environment to work with Drupals Multisite ability.

The slides used in the session are now available on slideshare.net if you'd like to take a closer look at the command line output I demonstrated, or the Apache VirtualHost configuration format.

Drupalcamp schwag - Drupal stress balls

For the upcoming DrupalCamp UK we have designed some stress balls in the shape of the Druplicon to give away to all attendees.

They turned up today just in time for the 'camp, so we thought we'd share some action shots as the little Druplicons invaded the Ixis office and servers.

For those unable to attend DrupalCamp UK we'll send out your very own Druplicon to the first 5 people to shoot us a message via the contact form with their name and postal address.

Feedback appreciated, and we'll see (some of) you at DrupalCamp Manchester this coming weekend!
