The October review meeting of the Knight Drupal Initiative saw three new proposals accepted by the community.
After a week of delay due to DrupalCON related travel, it is time for our monthly open review meeting.
We will meet for the next round of proposal reviews on Thursday, September 11th at 14:00 Eastern (US) (18:00 UTC).
The meeting will be held in IRC #drupal-dojo on irc.freenode.net. (See http://drupal.org/irc for information about using IRC.)
We will meet for 1:30 with the following agenda:
1) Review current proposals that need decisions:
So here is the second batch of photos from Saturday in Szeged.
Nick LePage, too cool to pose.
Bonnie Bogle of Development Seed
Eric Gundersen of Development Seed
I took a fair number of photos on Saturday, and will post them in groups. Here’s the first batch — in order of time taken, not favoritism.

Christina Szrama (Mrs. Ubercart)
One of the amazing feats of DrupalCON Szeged is that now, less than 48 hours after the conference, the presentation videos are all online.
I did two presentations this time, so if you want to see them, here are the links:
– Using Node Access (with Moshe Weitzman)
– The Knight Drupal Initiative (with Dave Cohen)
Enjoy!
And I mean that in a good way.
I am sitting in a hotel room in Budapest, recovering a bit from a long week at DrupalCON Szeged. For me, he highlights of DrupalCON are always the chance to meet people that I only know by handle and reputation. Sure, I attend a few sessions (two per day, usually), but I spend more time doing things like having impromptu meetings with Swedish newspaper programming teams (see below).
I have a whole bunch of photos from the last day of DrupalCON, below are a few highlights.
At yesterday’s open review meeting — read the transcript — two proposals were approved and sent on to the Knight Foundation for potential funding.
I know it is three weeks away (so soon, so soon!) but I am starting to get excited about DrupalCON Szeged. I have my travel booked — taking a week of vacation in Hungary as well — and now, well, I am on the program. For reals.
Moshe and I will be doing Using Node Access as a hands-on tutorial and preparation for a BoF session on improving Node Access in Drupal 7.
These notes are based largely on our last IRC meeting and community input for the KDI review process.
Our next review meeting will be August 7th in #drupal-dojo at 19:00 UTC. We have three proposals up for review this round.
During a community vote on #drupal-dojo yesterday, the KDI proposal by Bill Fitzgerald and Marc Poris of FunnyMonkey.com was approved to be passed to Knight Foundation for final review. If accepted, the proposal could bring more than $70,000 USD for active Drupal development.
This is a very exciting step for the KDI project, and in the coming week,s look for more information about the program — and more ways that you can get involved.
Below is an edited version of the announcement sent to Bill and Marc.
