Drupal 7 is officially here!
The long-awaited new version of the popular Web content management system and the platform was released today. It represents the hard work of almost 1000 developers (by Greg Knaddison's count) and countless other Drupal community members providing a contribution, your time and effort to test and feedback.
Drupal 7 will be the most user-friendly version of Drupal and yet due to the enormous amounts of work, overhauling the UI a far to create more intuitive user experience. The objectives of this redesign building was to minimize the infamous Drupal learning curve and Drupal Web site accessible for a greater number of people.
Of particular interest to Linux Journal may allow readers of the enhanced database support, the Drupal 7. Help of the modules run Drupal 7 websites on a number of databases, including the always popular MongoDB and others. You can check out Daniel Bartholomew's article about SQL vs. NoSQL or Dreis Buytaert's post on the subject for more about why this is interesting. Ultimately, bigger database support means more options and the ability to create solutions to a variety of projects.

I'm personally very excited about Drupal 7 and cant wait to upgrade to LinuxJournal.com's next start. In the meantime I'm from fellow organizer of Southwest Drupal Summit in Houston, Texas, on January 27-28, 2011 celebrating. I encourage all to the interest in learning more about Drupal and Drupal 7 to visit. Angela Byron, Drupal 7 maintainer will be there, all of us a tour of Drupal 7, and we have a streaming address and Q & A with Dries Buytaert, Drupal's project lead. As a community organized event, the price is very reasonable and we presented a variety of topics that allow us to improve our skills Web technology experts from around the world. Linux Journal's own Kyle Rankin will be fantastic speakers. Kyle will deliver a talk about forensics and actually dissect an attack that is a no Miss for those interested in security. We have an amazing line-up of speakers and I encourage you to read more about you.
I'm very excited, be a part of this event and I hope that many of you will join us!
