Now that Drupal 7 is peeping around the corner, it's time to look back with pride at all the great websites we built collectively.

We all know tons of great sites that run on Drupal 6 but we not always know the members of our community that built them. With the "25 most awesome Drupal 6 sites awards" we want to shine a light on these little known facts and put details about the functionality that drives these projects and the names of the organizations or individuals that built them on a Drupal card.

Everyone is free to nominate as many sites as they want. To do so just

1. Upload a screenshot
2. Add a short explanation of who built the site and what is special about it
3. Spread the news about your site's nomination and get people to vote on it

If your site(s) win, it will be featured as a card in the modulecraft Drupal card game. Nominate a site here, it only takes a minute.

Fingerprint is part of ModuleCraft. A project we started to raise awareness and funds for a set of awesome Drupal tools for the community. If you haven't heard about it go check it out.
To show you that we have the determination and the knowledge to go trough with all our promises, we already started developing some of the tools. The first wave was the Cardgame, and now here's the second:

Tonight a tweet from Laura Scott lead me to a blogpost by Zack Rosen at Semantic Focus. From the first sentence it seemed a bit odd, it's been more than 12 years since Tim Berners-Lee started working on the Semantic Web and most if not all of the points that followed seemed outdated.

We really liked the concept of the Drupal card game pioneered by NodeOne. It is a great starting point for coaches to teach teams the value of collaboration. If you make an external reward system (e.g. winning team gets a bag of sweets) and you let teams play a couple of games, you can make a meta-game in which teams can experience the difference between different playing styles (and therefore the value of collaboration).

This week we launched modulecraft.com a fundraising tool that we want to use to raise interest, involvement and money for the development of a series of tools for Drupal professionals. Pure donation systems like chip-in have a pretty bad track record, but a donation/reward system has to our knowledge not yet been tried in the Drupal community. When you donate you will be contributing to the community AND getting something valuable in return.

We launched the platform with Documentation+, our first fundraising effort which primary aim is the development of a Documentation distro for Drupal.

Last night I browsed 4chan as usual. Besides the usual Pedobears and Lolcats I found out that the Drupal.org server has been hacked, and someone made a torrent from all of those very expensive modules that are stored in the "contrib" repository.
This is a very serious issue, since the whole thing worth around $189.000 if you buy it in the shop...

Yesterday I saw this post with a video on the new P2 theme for Wordpress and how Automattic* is using that as a real time microblog like tool for status updates in their company. And it got me thinking...
