DrupalCon Sydney competition: And the winner is...

Medal with green and gold ribbon

Late last year we announced that we at Realityloop would be giving away both a ticket and accommodation for DrupalCon Sydney to one lucky Druapl developer in a Module development competition.

We received a great number of submissions with some fantastic projects that we look forward to seeing more of in the future, but we are glad to say that there was one outstanding submission that clearly won the day.

Win a ticket and accommodation for DrupalCon Sydney

Growing Drupal Downunder

Next year brings the first official Asia-Pacific DrupalCon, DrupalCon Sydney, but alas, all tickets are now sold out… so we at Realityloop want to give one skilled Drupal enthusiast the opportunity to not only snap up a free ticket to the grand event, but also get their accommodation at the conference venue covered as well.

So how can you win? By writing the best 'Growing Drupal Downunder' themed Drupal 7 module of course.

Introducing the Deep Zoom module

Realityloop has just released the Deep Zoom module, a module that provides the ability to create interactively viewable high-resolution images using the Microsoft Deep Zoom file format and the Seadragon Ajax library, ala Zoom.it but hosted 100% locally.

Setting up multicore Apache Solr on OS X using Homebrew

Realityloop is currently working on a client project the involves adding a new region to a site and having region specific content, the client is already using Apache Solr to improve the search of their products. Deciding I needed to set up Apache Solr locally for testing to ensure that each region only returned results for it's products, using Homebrew here is how I went about it.

Tables Filter Module: Drupal 7 release
