In my current Drupal development environment, I run an entire Debian server stack (LAMP + Memcache + Varnish, etc) inside of a VirtualBox virtual machine. On those frustration-laden occasions when I need to fire up the debugger, I use MacGDBp to connect to the virtual machine. Here's how I configure them. (If you just want to configure MacGDBp for debugging with MAMP or OS X's Apache, you may want to read an earlier article, and then check out the updates for Snow Leopard.

Thanks to all of you waiting patiently while we are heads-down building Pantheon.

We’re just back from Copenhagen, where we gave a sneak peek at what we’ve been up, and we wanted to share that demo with you as well. You can watch our screencast here:

Finally, we've been able to collect all the movies and edit them together. Unfortunately the quality isn't great in the first few minutes, but it's getting better and I hope you'll enjoy watching it.

Thanks to our "camera guys" - David Mollière and Peter Stumpf (that as it turns out, is really working for the UN and uses OG for that!)

For those who want too see the technical stuff from the session I gave should follow this link. I hope this will encourage people o try out Organic groups for Drupal 7 and help in making it a great module.

This post assumes that you are familiar with the unix command line. If you are not then I recommend the video from Addison Berry session “The command line is your friend” from DrupalCon Copenhagen 2010.

I have something of a passion/obsession with removing annoying obstacles in my every day tasks. I want good tools that are adapted to the way I like to work. Here follow my best tips for making the command line a pleasant place to get work done.

Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions have quickly become an integral and essential feature of the evolving Drupalcon format. The open BoF format provides a platform for participatory discussions and focused collaborative work sessions. For many topics not included in the official Drupalcon schedule, this format is much more appropriate.

Git bisect is a powerful automated tool for searching deep into a project's history. Instead of searching for relevant commit messages (git log) or patches (git log -S), bisect actually allows you to run a functional test on each revision until the first bad commit is identified. (Okay, it doesn't test every revision, it performs a binary search, which results in at most log2(N) tests. This allows a relatively large history to be searched quickly.)

The test can be done interactively, with the human performing each check, or mechanically if you can supply a testing script. Randy Fay has done a nice screencast on the interactive method; this post will instead focus on mechanizing the process.

Here's a great chance to work with a passionate bunch of Drupal-istas in Cheltenham. We love making Drupal sites, but there aren't enough of us to get everything done, so we need someone like you!

We're taking on a designer and a developer, and both are potentially immediate starts. If you're an agency, thanks, but we don't want to hear from you. Otherwise, head over to look at the jobs and come join us!

After having seen DrupliBacon and DrupliCake (there are other great adaptations of the Druplicon as well!), I decided I wanted to get some creative juices flowing this weekend. I present, DrupliGolf!

Drupligolf is the result of a round of golf, an addiction to Drupal, and a love for the best OSS mascot in existence. (The latter reason will definitely strike a chord with anybody who's shared a drink with the Druplicon in #drupal... and actually drank).
