Read moreCrowd sourcing and financial incentives to push contributed module development.
Hundreds of Drupal developers eagerly await the arrival of a stable release of Tokens Module for Drupal 7 with Field support. Everyday users subscribe to this feature request issue thread without any word on the current status from the developers (correct me if I missed it). The developer put up a ChipIn form to which many people contributed and if it was still open for contribution I'm sure that many more people would donate money to the cause.

Florida DrupalCamp 2012 Opportunity...
Despite the fact that Florida DrupalCamp 2011 was just a few months ago, preliminary discussions about Florida DrupalCamp 2012 are getting started.
As many of you know, Florida DrupalCamp 2011 was held at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. This would not have been possible without the generous support of the Rollins College Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership Center (RCPNL), they acted as our partner and deserve all the credit for making their facilities available to us.

DRUPAL MEETING Notes – WED APR 27, 2011
Presenters: All Attendees
Topic: MiamiDrupal.org Site Design and Development
Below are thoughts and ideas as presented by each person attending:
Adam
• Expressed concern that Drupal core downloads have dropped and interest is tapering off and if this continues then Drupal may stop development of new modules etc… currently developers are more interested in Jquery, Ajax, Javascript and Python CMS than learning how to work with Drupal.

Read moreBuilding the ultimate street address management system and geocoding module for Drupal 7
There are several modules in Drupal 6 that manage addresses, geocoding and geospatial points. I would like to see a discussion about them and their better parts to base the construction of an address management system in Drupal 7. I am pulling comments I made in the Address Field module for Drupal 7 module issue queue as I originally wanted to express the ideas here in the the Geolocation Group to make them available to a wider audience. The original thread is at http://drupal.org/node/1093392#comment-4256540.
