security

Yesterday I presented about security at FOSDEM. The slides are now available. At Drupalcon D.C. I will be joining Greg, author of Cracking Drupal, and Matt to give a more broad security presentation with live demos.

I am in Paris for the week continuing work on the Drupal.org upgrade and redesign implementation. We split into two teams, triaged issues and are set to make a lot of progress this week.

Next week, I will be at the Nonprofit Software Development Summit in Oakland. I am scheduled to help out with a wide range of sessions about Drupal and political data. I have been attending this summit since its first year when CivicSpace was still young; it will be good to catch up with everyone and see what people are doing with Drupal.

In March, Greg, Matt and I will be talking about Drupal security for users and developers at Drupalcon DC. Long-term, insecure configuration and development for Drupal should be harder, with better user interface and APIs; but I think education is still needed. There will be a lot going on since it is a Drupalcon, including another round of usability testing.

Earlier this week, Angie, Earl and I were on The Linux Link Tech Show #273. We talked about a wide range of topics. If you like podcasts, it might be a good introduction to Drupal and what is happening now.
