On November 31 and October 1st, the second Brazilian DrupalCamp took place on the University of Campinas. Dozens of drupallers met for two days, to discuss and do Drupal.
The second Brazilian DrupalCamp is going to take place this weekend, in Campinas, Sao Paulo. For two days, the community is going to do and discuss Drupal in the middle of University of Campinas, a Drupal user itself. The first Brazilian DrupalCamp, that took place in April this year, brought together more than 100 people to Campinas and showed the strength of the local community. Chuva Inc.
We are a Drupal shop and as such we deliver ready-to-use websites to our customers. We always tweak interfaces to deliver better user interface alongside our projects.
I'm following D7UX discussions and looking forward better and cooler and I've noticed that in the moment there's a focus on content type forms and other administration issues. Of course this is very important to Drupal World Domination, but when it comes to Drupal usability, I'm far more concerned with the underprivileged (i.e., without too much perms) content editor. How do we make a great node editing interface?
Here are my two cents on the "publishing options".
At the University of Campinas, more than one hundred people, 18 talks. A lot of people to talk about Drupal, learn new skills, get to know each other and organize the Brazilian community. It was an awesome Drupalcamp.
Announcing a new and quite simple module for Chomskyan Drupallers: phpSyntaxTree. It's just a wrapper to the nice phpSyntaxTree app/library provided by André & Mei Eisenbach. Simple to use, the wrapper works as an input filter, using the syntax: [tree]...a tree in bracket notation...[/tree]
Finally I have some time to blog. And today I really needed to write a post: today, 7th of January, is Chuva's first birthday. (it's raining for one year straight by now). And Chuva is growing, too. Now we welcome Danillo Nunes, our new interface designer and jQuery awesomeness developer. He's now responsible for making our websites prettier and easier to use. Since we have not had a happy new year posting, I think this will count. We hope a good new year for Drupal and we are building the second year of Chuva. We want to strengthen our relationship with Drupal community and keep building solid and truthful relatioships with our customers. And, of course, strive for Drupal world domination.
That's good news for those who are waiting for the complete set of contributed modules to start new projects using Drupal 6. Panels project has released its D6 compatible version. It's an alpha version yet, but that's a good start, anyway. See more at the project page: http://drupal.org/project/panels
