One client of ours was facing severe issues with their relatively new well equipped server: the server stopped responding to web requests, and was rebooted, only to stop responding again.
Upon investigation, we found out that pages were taking a lot of time to load.
This only happened when viewing a node in full page view, not when the
nodes were in lists (just as in views, node edit form ...etc.)
Devel was showing this:
It's a baby beta named Ægir - say "eager"
Today, Drupal rockstar and the Raincity Studios super-developer and South African Emissary, Adrian announced the release of Ægir 0.1 Beta1.
Designed for Campaigns No matter which side of the USA/Canada border you live on, it's impossible to ignore the political campaigns in full swing. Regardless of your leanings, no doubt the campaigns with polished social media strategies are enjoying advantages. Indeed, this is the first election cycle which 'Web 2.0" tactics are mandatory rather than merely optional or an after-thought.
Over the past couple of weeks, a few friends and colleagues asked me to give a run-down of what modules and projects I created or contribute to in the Drupal world. I started picking my way through them, and it was pretty sobering. (I think I'm going to need an intervention if I release even one more module...) This list leaves out the work that I do on Drupal Core, and doesn't include patches or enhancements to other modules, but it's a nice birds-eye view of what kind of stuff I'm doing in my copious free time. Ahem.
For the past few years the Drupal Documentation Team has been led by Steven Peck (sepeck). Steven was the first person to take on this role, and he has done a great job. Not only has he grown the documentation team to include a lot of talented and hard-working volunteer writers, he has overseen the restructuring and reorganization of Drupal.org's documentation handbooks, greatly improving their structure and accessibility.

On December 12, 2008, I'll be in New Orleans to talk about the exciting world of Drupal Search. In a first-of-its-kind event, the Lullabots have organized a "large-scale, 3-day learning event" that will bring together some of Drupal's most sought after speakers, as well as a number of other prominent internet personalities and luminaries. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the speakers who aren't necessarily known as Drupal rockstars (meaning they did something else to get famous):

I've been working on the Drupal security team for over three years now. My current role is coordinator of the security team and that means I help to coordinate when releases happen, review security announcements, recruit new members, and review inactive members. The Drupal security team has a highly competent group of developers and they do a good job self organizing and getting security releases out the door. If they get stuck, I may step in and help rally the team or work through some of the non-code issues involved in getting security releases out the door.
As we've seen time and again, in an increasing number of enterprise software categories, open source has become a promising alternative to commercial software. But there's no free ride.
Support from developers is often problematic, and you need to find products with a large enough following so that programmers have an incentive to build add-on modules. When the Test Center reviewed open source CMSes (content management systems), these two factors often broke the tie between otherwise robust solutions and gave Alfresco the advantage.
