Last week Anthony and I attended the absolutely excellent Better Together awards. Better Together is a nationwide campaign which aims to build support for hundreds of charities, community groups, clubs and associations across the country by encouraging the public to support these good causes and make a difference in their communities.

In the first part of this series, “Scalable & Sustainable Media Management for Drupal Websites”, I talked about media management solutions for Drupal. Specifically, I am interested in managing large amounts of files in a reusable manner. The solution I like best at the moment is Scald.

Have you ever noticed that some tweets now come with a nice little description, or maybe an image, or even an embedded video?

This year Age Action was chosen as Christmas FM's charity for 2014, and Annertech was on-hand to help them prepare for the big campaign and get as much benefit as possible from it.

Annertech have the pleasure of sponsoring this year's Open for Business Conference organised by the OPW and the LGMA. The event takes place in Dublin Castle on Friday 28th November and features a number of case studies and talks about how open standards, open data and open source are driving innovation across the public sector.

It's official: Annertech are one of the best Drupal development agencies in the world. We've just been selected by Clutch as market leaders for Drupal services, the only Irish company to achieve such an accolade.

I was given various bits of advice leading up to my attending my first DrupalCon ever. The essence of the one that stuck with me the most is:

Plan. Be realistic. Know you won’t see everything, so make what you do see count.

First on the agenda - get the travel bug out of my system.

It was great. I have a new favourite city, and very fond memories of a real, live Van Gogh.
Monday: explore city. Check.

It's that time of year when the Drupal Ireland community get together for a weekend of Drupal talks, workshops, and the Drupal Ireland Association AGM. As ever, Annertech are sponsoring the event. Not just that, but Mark Conroy (@markconroy) - Annertech's content strategist - is the main organiser, having offered to take up the mantle at Drupal Camp Cork last year.

We are delighted to learn that the Building Control Management System (BCMS) project that we built recently for the LGMA has been nominated for an Engineers Ireland Excellence Award.  

A definition of content strategy is not hard to come up with. It is the process of having a "strategy" for your "content".

Worried about the different Drupal and SSL security announcements made this week?  Here's what you need to know.
