Comments

Thanks for featuring the DrupAtlas in your podcast. You struggled with the concept so here is an explanation.

WHAT IS DRUPATLAS?
DrupAtlas is a chance for any agency or developer to showcase their trophy projects. By displaying projects on a global map we form a picture of how extensive Drupal Adoption is.

We have pre populated DrupAtlas with the 187 Drupal sites in the Inc 5000, lots of Fortune 500 companies and those mentioned on Dries's blog.

We invite you to contribute your projects to show the world "Where on earth is Drupal?"

I want Emma Jane's book, and so I went to the evil Drupal Webstocks and wasted an enormous amount of time! Thanks a bunch!

My username there (as everywhere else) is mollyavalon.

I also signed up for the Weekly Drop and am thinking about spending the money for a subscription to .net magazine. Incidentally, according to their Wikipedia page, it was called Practical Web Design in the US (but apparently not any more, because I can't find it under that name).

I always get good stuff, more Drupal Ed, from your podcast.

I'm a new listener and Drupal user/developer. The book looks like it would be useful to me.

I registered on drupal.webstocks with the username 'forestplay'.

I downloaded at least a dozen of your podcasts and listed to them on a recent trip (to Singapore where I saw Dries). I am building my Drupal library and would very much appreciate a chance at Emma Jane's book.

My user id at webstocks (and d.o.) is dougsap. Thanks! Doug
