Recently, I decided to take my transition from end user to Drupal professional even further by heading into the lion’s mouth and becoming a contributor. http://www.bluespark.com/blog/contributing-weekly-upd8

Dear Drupal: Season’s Greetings. Love, Smashing WordPress.

Every day I work with WordPress in one way or another. My Twitter feed is full of WordPress types, and I’m a regular at my local WordPress meetup. I’m a WordPress fan.

http://buytaert.net/does-acquia-suck-up-all-the-drupal-talent A number of concerns have been voiced from the community about the substantial growth Acquia has achieved since its inception, the number of key contributors who are now employed by Acquia, and the subsequent influence that this allows Acquia to have on the project.

Does Acquia suck up all the Drupal talent?

Sun's blog post yesterday and some of the comments on it raise the concern that Acquia , a single commercial company, exerts inappropriate influence on the direction of Drupal core. I've been a full-time Acquia employee for the last year, was active in Drupal 7 core development prior to that, continue to be active in core and contrib as time allows, and am very passionate about wanting Drupal to be a healthy open source software project and community.

Deploy an Ubuntu LAMP server on your old PC, plug it to your home network and start web developing. The following guidelines were tested on a Pentium III x86 CPU processor, Ubuntu 11 Desktop edition and Windows 7 as the complementary primary PC. This is not a detailed tutorial, it is a notepad of necessary software and Ubuntu 11 specific solutions. http://makemagic.gr/node/313

Taxonomy

Taxonomy (from ancient Greek τάξις taxis , arrangement, and νομία nomia , method ) [ 1 ] is the academic discipline of defining groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to those groups. Each group is given a rank and groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super group of higher rank and thus create a hierarchical classification . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The groups created through this process are referred to as taxa (singular taxon ). An example of a modern classification is the one published in 2009 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group for all living flowering plant families (the APG III system ).
