Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t on drupal.org) and Alan Palazzolo (zzolo on drupal.org) join Mike Anello to talk about their new book from O’Reilly Media, Mapping with Drupal. Mike’s usual co-hosts, Andrew and Ryan, were both unable to participate in the podcast, leaving Thomas and Alan subject to Mike’s long-winded (but extremely interesting by some accounts) questions.
Five Stories
- Mapping with Drupal, OpenLayers, GMap, Geofield, Leaflet, and the Geospatial Modules Assessment.
- When will Drupal 7 installs beat Drupal 6 installs?
- Drupal community metrics
- iO1 Acquires drupalmodules.com
- chx needs a break
Picks of the Week
- Mike - Entity Views Attachment by Jeff Eaton (eaton on drupal.org) - allows you to attach a view to an entity (node). Very useful for attaching OG content lists to an OG node, user’s activity to their user page, etc... Provides a new Views Display type.
- Thomas - Location CCK Migrate module by Pol Dell'Aiera (Pol on drupal.org) - migrate location data to geofield for Drupal 7
- Alan - Geocoder module by Michael Favia (michaelfavia on drupal.org), Niel Hastings (indytechcook on drupal.org), and Patrick Hayes (phayes on drupal.org) - a general geocoding API for Drupal 7

Geocoder Video
Thanks for the mention in your show notes. A few months ago, I did a session at the Drupal Indy User group about how I integrated Gecoding, Solr and Openlayers.
