Cindy McCourt (idcm), author of Drupal: The Guide to Planning and Building Websites, joins Andrew Riley and Mike Anello to discuss (almost) everything there is to know about Drupal project planning, development methodologies, gathering requirements, and everything else that goes into planning a successful Drupal project. Along the way, Greg Dunlop’s (heyrocker) CMI fundraising, comment spam prevention, and Drupal 7.17 are discussed, capped off with our picks of the week.

Katherine Druckman (katherined as well as the LinuxJournal.com webmistress) joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello for our 92nd podcast.

Juan Pablo Novillo Requena (juampy), author of Drush User’s Guide, joins Mike Anello (ultimike) and Ted Bowman (tedbow) to discuss all things Drush, everything that makes Drush awesome, and why (just about!) everybody should be using Drush.

Lin Clark (linclark on Drupal.org) leaves Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello speechless with her vast knowledge of RDF, microdata, and the semantic web on this episode of the DrupalEasy Podcast. Lin talks about how she favors microdata (check out her new Microdata module) over RDF, her super-cool Web Taxonomy module, and a bunch of other things that demonstrates why she’s one of the Drupal community’s brightest minds. Other topics covered include Zen 5.0 and Google’s “recommendation” of responsive design.

Jake Strawn (himerus on drupal.org), fearless leader of the Omega base theme, joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello for a best practices discussion for responsive theming with Omega. They tackle commonly confusing questions including "what's with all the CSS files?", mobile navigation, advertising images, and "what the heck is the Delta module supposed to do?" Other news-y stories discussed include the DrupalCon Code of Conduct discussion, Views in core, and the “Spark” prototype.

Bryan Hirsch (bryanhirsch on drupal.org) and Kay VanValkenburgh (kay_v on drupal.org) join Andrew Riley and Mike Anello on this week’s episode of the DrupalEasy podcast to talk about the Drupal Ladder, a community project they started to help train future Drupal core contributors.
