Sunnhordaland county libraries http://sunnbib.no, is an project that gathers all the local libraries on one single site. The site is not new, but forgot to blog about it, and became live back in January 2011. The core of the system is powered by Drupal 6 and Organic Groups. The site will continue to get developed throughout this year to reach desired visual and UX —goals. This is the first one of three similar library projects.
Drupal 6 installation. Nothing special on the front end, then most of the work have been done on site's infrastructure, end user content edition tools, and staff training.
About the project
The Norwegian Rural Museum Network is a state-funded organisation charged with amalgamating the diverse knowledge collections curated by independent Norwegian rural museums into a non-overlapping repository in order to increase efficiency of information exchange.
Sogn og Fjordane Fylkeskommune county library have been running on Drupal 6 for a few months now (I'm just to lazy to update my own web page), and it seems that the end users are very pleased with how the site looks, and the flexibility that Drupal provide. A lot the this site, is based on the work we did on Sogn og Fjordane Fylkeskommune county archives.
As part of the Sogn og Fjordane Fylkeskommune county's, Drupal web development team, did we manage to create quite a few web pages, during my 6 month long contract, this is one of them http://fylkesarkiv.no. We where replacing an older and dated systems with Drupal 6 and other opensource goodness.
Tired of typing passwords to SSH servers you often access? Well get used to it! Passwords provide a high level of security, but but it have a tendency be tedious, and also prevent you from running local scripts that automatic logon to your server to perform tasks or you you simply will backup/copy files from your server to your local Mac. The good news is that's a simple solution to all this.
This site have been upgraded from Drupal 6 to 7 and I have more site migration is the work at the moment. Upgrading is, still as I'm writing this, a rocky ride with a few sharp corners. For the one that have been with us since Drupal 5 and have some wage memories from back then we started migrating from 5 to 6, all this sound painfully familiar.
First thing first you need to understand. Drupal core it self migrate just perfectly from 6 to 7 so if you are running a super small/simple installation the upgrade it self should be a breeze. Pleas take the time and read the short but concise UPGRADE.txt located in your Drupal root directory and make sure you understand it before attempting to upgrade.
I joined the ELMCIP Project in July 2010, and will be busy working on this project for the new two years. This does not mean, that I'm not available for other contract work/projects, but this will reduces my availability by about 10-15%.
It is that time of the year again and we all migrate to a specific venue. This year is the European Drupalcon held in København (CPH). I'll be there with my fellow Drupal geeks. Do you see me, buy me a pint or just say hello.
