At DrupalCon Boston 2008, we had the great pleasure of winning the grand prize as the Top Showcase Site, for PopSci.com. Because we were so busy making presentations and otherwise engaged in the incredible DrupalCon sessions, winning this was an unexpected surprise. The submissions were judged by Chris Bryant, Scott Mattoon (Sun Microsystems) and Fish McGill (Harmonix). Sun posted the ad hoc post-plenary interview here.

On Friday, we stole about 10 minutes from a very busy day to unbox the Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 server that was the prize. Wow!

The RDF initiative for Drupal 7 announced by Dries last week at DrupalCon Boston 2008 has been getting a lot of interesting attention.

This coming week nearly the entire pingVision family will be at DrupalCon Boston 2008. Some of us have been at previous events, doing presentations and otherwise just getting involved (not to mention taking in the scenery). This time we're coming as Platinum Sponsors and presenters.

First, the new faces:

Al Steffen joined us about a year ago, but never had the opportunity to travel to any of the Drupal events outside of the greater Denver area. In fact, I just learned today, he hasn't even seen a proper ocean. Some may know Al online as Zarabadoo, the handle he uses on IRC and Drupal.org. He's the man behind the nicely semantic Hunchbaque theme (ugly on the outside, beautiful on the inside).

Today PopSci.com relaunched on the Drupal free open source content management system.
