Drupal.org turns 500,000!

One half meeellion nodes...

Someone out there must have noticed that Drupal.org hit its 500,000th node on June 23, 2009. That's a half million drops in the community pool that makes this project so excellent. The lucky winner is seanr with a module release.

It looks like Drupal.org is ramming through about 1000 posts a day. At this rate a plus the exponential growth of this community, there is no telling how soon we'll hit that one million mark. We just crossed the 250,000 node mark 14 months ago. I'll make a suggestion that someone start a pool for the date of the one millionth node.

I'll cast the first vote for Sept 25, 2010. Yeah, that's soon, but mark my words.

GMap + Location Screencast

Drupal can store and display geographic information through the use of the contributed modules called GMap and Location, part of the geocoding module stack known as Mapadelic. Together they form the foundation of building rich maps using Google's map service.

This screencast covers the basic setup required to produce your first Google mapped nodes and display all your nodes on one big map.

Prior experience with Drupal 6 core will help you follow along with this lesson, especially in the area of enabling and configuring modules and customizing content types.
