Another 2 weeks passed and we have some updates.
Tezza is doing great job reviewing case studies together with lisarex and kwseldman. We are slowly adding more of them to the Featured section. There is always a room for more reviewers - take a look at the wiki if you'd like to help.
The new events page for groups.drupal.org is basically ready. Few things are stopping it from being deployed. One of them - Better exposed filters module, which we need to install on groups.drupal.org, more accurately - this patch for Better exposed filters needs some testing.
Marketplace improvements are in progress: we are discussing updated guidelines, new Training services listing and working on the development site right now.
Projects quality initiative unfortunately is lacking volunteers to implement basic version of the project reviews on the development site.
Drupal 7 upgrade
Sprint 5 finished for the Drupal 7 upgrade team and here are some updates from Joel 'Senpai' Farris:
The Bluecheese Team: "Incorrect permissions for Sass files on the dev server" fixed and we can now build and re-roll Sass directly on the servers, which lowers the barrier of entry for the new Bluecheese contributors. The theme's CSS is now split into several manageable files which deal with the different sections of the site in order to make it easier for contributors to quickly understand and more easily help out.
The Customizations Team created new D7 production site for saopaulo2012.drupal.org and worked on Bakery hooks for syncing user profile field information from drupal.org out to subdomained sites.
The Git Team finally deployed latest D6 versioncontrol code. This also cleared the way for drupal.org to have more secure stored passwords using PHPpass. This was a *huge* effort, congratulations to the team! They also fixed other issues: Revisit syncEvent() logic on main repository sync plugin, Reflect the default branch setting in Git instructions, and "hook_versioncontrol_git_refs_updated() is going away" in collaboration with the Testbot (PIFT) maintainers.
The Infrastructure Team updated all our servers. They are now running a faster, more stable version of PHP (5.3) and are ready for the D7 rollout.
Today we also want to talk a bit about other projects the team has been working on.
Munich
During past weeks Heather was leading a small team working on the Drupalcon Munich website. Right now the site is 99% functionally complete, apart from some theming items and creation of the demographics reports that rely on a port over of drupal.org profile information.
We would like to thank Drupal Association developers Tyler (twardnw) and Sheldon (sheldonkreger) for their tireless efforts, as well as community members Thomas Moseler (eigentor) for oodles of completed and ongoing theming work & Florian Loretan (floretan) for his help on commerce items.
COD
To streamline development process for the future Drupalcon websites we started using Conference Organizing Distribution and right now we have a team of community members and Drupal Association developers working together on the DrupalCon contributions to COD. The team includes Heather, Tyler, and Sheldon (Drupal Association), Johnnie Fox, Brant Wynn, and Rachel Jaro (Promet Source), Peter Lieverdink (Creative Contingencies), Ryan Szrama (Commerce Guys), and other volunteers.
Last week they switched from planning to execution. Their goal is to get the majority of DrupalCon functionality into COD, minimize custom feature sets required for the DrupalCon sites and look at streamlining Drupal Association processes where possible to make the best use of the Drupal 7 COD. Currently the team is working in the issue queue to get a solid/stable COD up and running on Drupal 7, pushing fast towards the deadline of July 31st.
That's it for today, follow us on Twitter for more updates and let's make Drupal.org awesome together!
