Right after I got my new appartment in Munich, I'm going to head off to Paris for DrupalCon. I'll be getting there a few days early to visit the city and meet with a few people, so let me know if you'll be around and want to pre-drupalize. I won't be presenting this time, so I'll have more time for everything else!
There are a lot of options when moving from Subversion to a next-generation Version Control System, but Bazaar's ability to interact with a subversion repository can make the transition easy and painless. While it is possible to use the bzr command in a subversion checkout or use it to connect to a subversion repository, you sometimes want to completely move to Bazaar and stop using subversion at all. Here's how to do it.
I recently had to set up a web viewer for a bzr branch hosted on my ubuntu server and decided to go with loggerhead as it seems to be the most commonly used one. However, all the instructions I could find have been written before the inclusion of loggerhead in the ubuntu repositories, so here is an updated tutorial on how to install and configure loggerhead on ubuntu.
Drupal Media Camp Switzerland took place this week-end, less than a year after the idea of a Swiss DrupalCamp was introduced at a Drupal user group meeting in Zurich.

We now have a few more participants, with Stefan Freudenberg, Frédéric G. Marand, Mark Birbeck and John Morahan joining us. There is still room for one more person, so if you are familiar with theming, the Fields API and/or writing tests we would be happy to have you with us.
I love music, I love making music and I love listening to music, but I always hate the question "what do you listen to?" I don't want to answer with the elitist "I listen to bands that don't even exist yet", but I still feel like there is more to it than just "Indie/Alternative Rock". I tried getting statistics from my last.fm account into wordle to see how I can express this visually. The result is interesting and looks pretty cool, here's how I did it.
If you have some friends with a Last.FM account, head over to http://perfectfestival.com, where you can generate the homepage for a fictive music festival where all their favorite bands are playing! Try something like "Hey chx, I'm going to Perfect Festival at the end of June, should I get you some tickets too?"
We usually teach kids the alphabet by having them remember common words that start with each letter: A is for Apple, B is for Balloon, C is for Crayon... but what if we wanted to update our notion of "common word" with, let's say, the autocomplete feature of Google search? Here's what we get:
