Jérémy Chatard, author of the Drupad module, joins us for a quick interview while Salim Lakhani from WebEnabled (sponsor of the DrupalEasy podcast) pops in to talk about some cool release management (development server -> staging server ->production server) work that WebEnabled is working on.

As you suggested they are paranoid about security. They got your back.
Invitation based presentation is good... But what about new people?
Getting "in" to open source is notoriously more difficult as processes are implicit and political. Anyway, my experiences at drupalcons haven't been any worse than at any other industry, academic or commercial conference circuit. You must have been hit with some bad presentations.
Most industries have knowledgable people who aren't the best public speakers. Drupal at least has a lower bullshit factor, IMHO. for me, it's far worse if we take less risks than if we bore a few people.
Shame if we strive for professionalism and end up with elitism.

In order to install modules
In order to install modules or themes from the D7 interface, you have to enable the update module!

Great show as always. Keep the guests comin', like those interviews. I might have to check out this webenabled stuff some time. Keeps getting more interesting with every mention.
My CTR-score stayed at four and I never programmed a lick. Like the system!
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
