Timeline

You know, I'm getting old, which is a good thing of course. Maybe a bit grumpy at times. But while I can (and choose to) ignore trends in the Tech/Drupal scene (I'm looking at you AI), I still feel happy working on say ActivityPub, which is far under the radar of many people or maintain other projects. Which is totally fine. I even felt confident enough to submit a proposal for the upcoming EU DrupalCon, but I probably should have added an AI component to get accepted. I know, snarky remark, but oh well, I kind of expected it.

However, the text at the top of my company on Drupal.org feels wrong on so many levels: https://new.drupal.org/eps-kaas. While I don't expect any privileges for my/our contributions in the past (and present), we're not going to pay 3000 dollars so this horrible text is hidden on that page. It makes me quite angry and sad at the same time. And not old and grumpy, for a brief moment at least.

We already have two good candidates for a logo for the ActivityPub module for Drupal. Feedback welcome at https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub/issues/3572329 :) #stickers

It would be awesome if someone could create a logo for the ActivityPub module, I'm simply bad at it. First use would be for the project browser of course. But, even better, they will become stickers for DrupalCon Rotterdam!

Great news for ActivityPub and Drupal: I received a second grant from the NLnet foundation to push the module further, aiming for a stable release. Plans include multi-user support, a better reading experience, an API so other AP clients can connect with a Drupal instance and Recipes! More details soon!

I had absolutely no idea you could change the font size of a console.log message, wow!

Need a new T-shirt or tank top? Why not one by Eva Mpatshi? https://mpatshi.inker.be

Tannheim, Austria. Looks good from above! #drone

We are looking for a new colleague at eps & kaas! Are you a skilled site builder with good PHP knowledge, let's talk! https://www.epsenkaas.be/vacature/

It would be awesome if the (Belgium) android (banking) apps stopped relying on the Google MLKit library for simply scanning barcodes .. I mean, it isn't that hard to use an open source library out that does the trick as well.

I'll tag new releases for Display Suite and Field Group in the first week of 2024. Especially DS contains massive fixes with BC settings which are enabled automatically when upgrading. Testers welcome for the 8.x-3.x branch to see I haven't broken anything crucial - I'm pretty sure I haven't, but hey, I'm only human :) Happy holidays! #drupal
