The H Open has reported that the release of Drupal 8 will be delayed as developers complete new features. The Drupal 8 maintainers – Dries Buytaert, Nathaniel Catchpole and Angela Byron – have announced that the development team have decided to introduce a new "Feature Completion Phase" into the Drupal development cycle. According to Buytaert, this is necessary because "there are still incredible features for Drupal 8 that are heavily in progress, but not quite there yet".
OK, OK. Yes, I rode the whale. :-)
As I mentioned a few days ago, I challenged Dries Buytaert, the founder and project lead of Drupal, to ride a mechanical whale on Bourbon Street while we were at Do It With Drupal last week. He took me up on my challenge and Dries Rode the Whale.
It seems that I "forgot" to post my video so, here you go:
I was in New Orleans at Do it With Drupal (DIWD) this week, the premier Drupal training event put on each year by Lullabot. One of the great things about this event is that some of the biggest names in Drupal come out to teach, train, and interact with the community.
One of them is Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal. One thing that can be said for Dries, he is willing to try anything. And I mean ANYTHING.
