Drupal 5.x and 6.x LoCo Suite Released

David Giard, a founding member of the Ubuntu Quebec LoCo Team, relayed these news to me this morning (via The Fridge):

NOT A FORK – as soon as I posted this I got a comment about this being a fork, well, it’s not! It’s a collection of modules and a theme, which are managed via a project in Launchpad. This is not a separate fork of Drupal! 🙂

What’s on your laptop ?

I’ve been meaning to post a picture of my laptop’s « decoration » for a while, perhaps start another chain reaction…

I think what you put in your laptop tells a bit about who you are or what you do 🙂

So here’s my current laptop:

One more thing, I got a zebra-themed vinyl skin applied on the laptop, which protects the machine – the stickers are on that vinyl layer.

Clicking on the image will bring you to Flickr where I added some notes.
