Many surveys today would claim that the millennial generation is a technology savvy and aware group. When it comes to open source, it’s observable—a major part of open source application users are under 30 years old, but an Accenture survey completed last year says that more than half of the millennial population that is entering the workforce is currently “either unaware of their companies’ information technology (IT) policies or are not inclined to follow them.”

We all have come to love and admire jQuery for the amazing Javascript library it is. But we also have fallen in love with numerous extensions to jQuery; plugins, modules - whatever you call 'em.

Out of the box, Quicksilver, a wonderful app launcher and more for Mac, and Subversion, a top open source version control system do not have a happy marriage. However, a one easy step can have you humming right along with a great integration of these two incredible tools.

In his latest podcast, Semantic expert and writer Paul Miller talks with Jeff Walpole, Frank Febbraro and Irakli Nadareishvili. They discuss our work with Drupal, semantic technologies and the recent trend to make Government data more usefully available via open source and semantic tools.

A short blog post that describes how to "create" post-state hooks if you have pre-state hook in Drupal. The specific example simulates a post-menu-item-save hook (which does not actually exist).

SVN externals are a convenient way to organize your subversion repository. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug that may give you a good deal of headache of you later decide to replace an external with an actual folder (a drop). This quick blog post describes the problem and the solution.

As we usher in this new era of open data and government transparency by making raw data available to the public in platform independent formats on Data.gov, we could be overlooking one of the simplest and most sincere opportunities to show what the open data movement is about: Linked Data. Linked data is the key to connecting government data sets to other government data and external data sources on the web.
I am hoping to create interest for a community-led project to prototype an RDF enabled dataset for Data.gov and link it to other related data sources in the Linked Data Cloud.

The Media Standards Trust and the Associated Press news agency want to establish a new industry-wide microformat for online news to increase readership—and therefore revenue—by improving search engine ranking and making content easier to find. Phase2 Technology joins the conversation with its new Drupal distribution, Open Publish.

While looking around for how to run multiple IE browsers, I found a new solution and wanted to
share it. Running a virtual machine of windows is nothing new really. But I discovered something
that made it a little less of a hurdle, and Microsoft is responsible and it's pretty cool.

There's countless modules for Drupal that are underrated, but I wanted to call attention to three that I use regularly. These modules can make a big difference when building a theme, and while there's a learning curve associated with some (Color module, I'm looking at you), they're all worth the effort.
