DrupalEasy Podcast

Drew Gorton and Ronan Dowling from Nodesquirrel.com join Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, Mike Anello, and a mystery guest(!?) on the 75th episode of the podcast. Nodesquirrel is a new Drupal site database backup service that integrates seamlessly with the Backup and Migrate module. Listen in as we discuss the Drupal 8 timeline, the mystery guest takes a geography quiz, and we all do our very best not to mention that it's Andrew’s birthday (spoiler alert - we succeed!)

Chris Strahl from the office of the CTO at Acquia joins Ryan and Mike to talk about Acquia’s new Large Scale Drupal Initiative where some of Acquia’s largest clients are working together on enterprise Drupal issues and contributing all of the results back to the community. Other topics include Commerce Guys’ funding, more bluecheese, Drupal’s "Experience Gap", and Configuration Management in core!

This is our first batch of interviews from DrupalCon Denver 2012 - first we get a quick word from Nate Hill of San Jose Public Library, then we hear from Damien McKenna and MortenDK about their hopes and dreams for DrupalCon and their projects. Cameo appearance by Steve Edwards.

This is a design-related batch of interviews from DrupalCon Denver 2012 - we have two interviews, one with UX pro and OReilly author Dani Nordin, followed by the designer of the DrupalCon Denver website, Ken Woodworth. Guest host Johan Falk.

This is a "power hour" of  three heavyweight interviews from DrupalCon Denver 2012 - first up is Josh Koenig from Pantheon, followed by Matt Cheney from Chapter3 - you won't believe the last two interview guests until you hear it (and drink!). Guest host Steve Edwards.

In our continuing series of batched interviews from DrupalCon Denver 2012, you will hear how HP is entering the cloud with Matt Butcher. Then we introduce you to two awesome ways to get Drupal News - Drupal Sun from Evolving Web and the Weekly Drop newsletter by Bob Kepford. Guest host Joe Moraca.

The last of our series of batched interviews from DrupalCon Denver 2012, we talk to Ryan Szrama of the Drupal Commerce project, Colleen Carroll and Robin Barre from Palantir talking Workbench, and last but not least Dan Reif from Black Mesh.

Brandon Morrison (Brandonian on drupal.org) joins Andrew Riley and Mike Anello on the first post-DrupalCon Denver edition of the podcast to talk about all things Geo in Drupal 7. Brandon is one of the maintainers of the GeoField module and is an active member of the Drupal Geo community.

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.

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.

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.

Ted Bowman (tedbow on Drupal.org) from Six Mile Tech joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello for the first post-summer-vacation DrupalEasy podcast extravaganza! Recent NYC camps, the upcoming Capital Camp, the changing of the guard at the Drupal Association, Aaron Winborn, and a bunch of other recent developments in the Drupalverse are discussed. As always, there are picks of the week (including the “best one ever”), a site of a week, and a preview of upcoming podcast guests.

Florian Loretan (floretan on drupal.org), one of the main organizers for DrupalCon Munich, joins Mike Anello and special-guest co-host Ted Bowman to find what attendees can expect at this year’s European DrupalCon. In addition, Ezra Gildesgame (ezra-g on drupal.org) joins in on the fun to talk about the amazing progress of the Conference Organizing Distribution (COD) on Drupal 7. If that isn’t enough, there’s also talk about the Drupal documentation leadership changes, Commerce Kickstarter V2, picks of the week, and a really useful site of the week!

Wim Leers (Wim Leers on drupal.org) joins Andrew, Ryan, and Mike to discuss the Spark distribution and all the new, cutting edge authoring-experience related modules that go along with it. Lisa Rice from Brevard Workforce also calls in to talk about Drupal workforce development, and everybody discusses the latest Drupal news and makes some outstanding picks of the week.

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. They also discuss (sadly at first, then hopeful!) the first DrupalCon to be cancelled, the Drupal Association’s at-large Board of Directors nominations, a new Drupal.org profile field, as well as several other topics, and our picks of the week!
