Welcome to the inaugural Daily Drupal, an almost daily wrapup of the days events and discoveries in the land of Drupal. This also happens to be my first Blue Tent Blog Post.

Development Seed released updates to notifications and messaging framework modules. These are powerful modules that enable advanced messaging capabilities and gives users a lot of control over what notifications they receive, and in what forms, whether by email, sms, or twitter.  See the Features section of the notifications module and the Sending Methods section of the messaging module.

Dries posted "8 steps for Drupal 8" blog post, envisioning and steering the development of Drupal after version 7 is released.

Drupal wins awards from Packt Publishing.  Awards include: Hall of Fame award, Best Open Source PHP CMS. Drupal was not eligible for "Overall Best Open Source CMS" because it won it too many times in the past. Wordpress won that award this year.

Development versions of Admin 2.0 and Context 3.0 modules are demonstrated. Amazing stuff in the world of building flexible and controllable web sites.
