What Were the Headlines From DrupalCon?

At this week's DrupalCon conference in San Francisco, there was much evidence of growth and momentum for the popular open source content management system (which OStatic runs on). The conference suffered a setback as it started, as the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull disrupted the travel plans of people all over the world who were planning to attend. However, Brightcove delivered free streaming videos of the keynote addresses online. Here are a few of the items of note out of the conference.

Acquia, which was co-founded by Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal, has announced a training program for Drupal. The company is building a business that works much like Red Hat does, offering support and training for free, open source software. According to Acquia's site: "Acquia will develop and maintain a Drupal training curriculum, and commercially license the curriculum to our partners so they can more easily deliver training to their customers."

There was much talk at the conference about Drupal Gardens, which allows users to take advantage of Drupal content management online. Drupal Gardens now allows users to use Typekit fonts on their sites, which vastly expands the flexibility of their font libraries.

Drupal is moving toward semantic web technologies, and now supports RDFa,  which adds a set of attribute level extensions to XHTML for embedding rich metadata within online documents. As discussed here, Drupal 7, the next major release, will ship with RDFa support directly built in.

For more updates on what was discussed and delivered at DrupalCon, check Dries Buytaert's blog over the upcoming days. It's also worth checking in on the series of posts we did in conjunction with the conference.

Similar to other Rosetta Stone language software, Rosetta Stone Spanish allows you to learn naturally, encouraging you to learn the same way you have learned to speak English. The interactive lessons and activities presented by this computer-based language course relieve you from the usual torture of memorized mouthful of Spanish words with constant reference to translations.

Rosetta Stone Spanish is built to ensure language learning success. Giving you nothing but innovative solutions to your usual learning problems, the software allows you to learn and progress through your lessons at your own pace. On the other hand, Rosetta Stone language software tend to fail getting top ranking because of its lack o mobile compatibility and extra features like culture lessons. Although they offer separate intermediate and advanced Spanish learning programs, they can be availed at added expense. But although this is the case, Rosetta Stone’s modern and intuitive approaches covers everything you need to understand or learn Spanish fast.Learn to Speak Spanish: The Complete Interactive Learning Solution
