Harvard using Drupal
I recently learned about the fact that the Berkman Center for Internet and Society is using Drupal. The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is a research center founded at Harvard Law School whose fellows included internet gurus like David Weinberger, John Perry Barlow, Dave Winer, Jimmy Wales, Doc Searls and many more.
Other notable Drupal sites at Harvard are the website of the Science and Engineering department, the website of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (they aim to solve major problems that affect society and the well-being of human populations), the website of Initiative in Innovative Computing (a center of expertise in solving very difficult computing problems), and last but not least Harvard Magazine (a magazine that keeps 240,000 alumni connected to the university). Harvard Magazine is also using Mollom.
Drupal.org redesign code sprints: update 3
Ever wanted to see the Media Lab at MIT? An almost mythical place where "...the future is lived, not imagined ... a world where radical technology advances are taken for granted, ..." and technology is designed "... for people to create a better future".
I've visited the Media Lab before and it is highly recommended. This is your chance.
On Friday, June 12th, we're conducting a one-day Drupal.org redesign sprint at the MIT Media Lab. Designed to bring home our kicking re-design for Drupal.org designed by Mark Boulton and Leisa Reichelt, all Drupal designers and developers who would like to contribute to theming our new home at drupal.org are welcome, invited, and encouraged to attend. Attendance is limited, so you must sign-up in advance.
Even if you're "just" a newbie, we'll make sure to have you ready for attendance by activating your infrastructure.drupal.org account, by creating your own hosted copy of drupal.org for your localized testing, and by training you in working within the redesign theme issue queue.
If you are interested in helping -- and I hope you are -- please sign-up to schedule your training by visiting http://groups.drupal.org/node/22036. Thanks!

Shot at the Red Sox game last night. They hit a sacrifice fly to get Manny home. I think ...
