When working with Drupal's language / locale components in code, we need to be aware of some issues to ensure that the multilingual subsystem works as we'd expect.
I'd like to thank all of the DrupalCamp Ottawa organizers. Everything appeared to run smoothly, and there was a great turnout for the second annual event.
I gave a presentation on Drupal performance to a completely-packed room. Either the subject matter interested a lot of people, or the room was too small. From my perspective, it's difficult to say which, but I'd like to think my topic was something folks wanted to hear.
Several months ago, I ran a session on the subject at DrupalCamp Montreal. I educated attendees on how Git submodules can be used with Drupal to take advantage of some Git features that wouldn't otherwise be realized.
As great as Drupal 7 core can be, it doesn't scale well for Web sites with a lot of content and/or a lot of users. To make it perform better under these scenarios, it's necessary to make use of several strategies, tools and techniques.
When writing technical documents, as I often do, there is often a need to include colourized code samples. If you're working with PHP, this code can be produced quite easily from the command line.
One would assume that printer sharing can be set up in Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) by following the Network Printing with Ubuntu community wiki page in the Ubuntu documentation. I found, however, that the set-up for the print server, the machine that actually shares a printer, didn't actually work. I kept running into a "client-error-forbidden" message while trying to set up a client machine on the network.
I worked on a project lately where I needed access to a Windows file server. There are two (2) ways of doing this, as a regular user (available only to the person setting it up), and as root (the system administrator). Setting up the connection system-wide using the latter approach will allow read-only access by everyone on the system, but they won't be able to write to it.
I have a client who uses a Cisco VPN to protect their network, and I exclusively use Ubuntu in my consulting work. At the moment, they don't easily work together out-of-the-box, even though they should. To get access to their network, I was provided with a PCF file, used to configure VPN client software to connect to the VPN server. However, after importing the configuration file, I simply couldn't connect.
For a time, the best FLOSSissue tracking system around was Redmine. Then, a couple of years ago, Redmine was forked by some of its core developers to create Chiliproject. They felt that they weren't able to get new features committed in a timely manner and that the existing system wasn't sufficiently open for product growth.
