17 days to DrupalCamp Israel !

As the temperatures here in Israel start changing to something sane and in the peak of the holiday season... I want to re invite whomever is the mideast (that's the world's middle east not Ohio :) ) to Drupalcamp Israel.
Attendence is almost fully booked due to a high signup (around 170 people payed) and another big group of 60 Drupal newbies sponsered by the local internet association.

The /drupalgive initiative is gaining momentum

Drupalgive is a new and effective way of showing your love and contributions to Drupal. It is an initiative by the one and only Moshe Weitzman, which defines a special page on your website, where you can gather in one place all of your contributions to Drupal: modules, themes, events you've sponsored, presentations you've made... everything which is contributing to the development of the Drupal project, in it's whole.

The Drupal theme that RTLs itself

Long story short, Sasson can RTL itself with a single line of code.

Long time ago, when we wanted to add bi-directionality to our site for RTL (Right-To-Left) languages like Arabic or Hebrew we had to use tools like CSSJanus or RTLer to flip our CSS and then paste the result into style-rtl.css and fix whatever needed fixing.
This workflow have several drawbacks:

Sasson - smart drupal theming

Sasson means "Joy".
This drupal theme is all about bringing the joy back into drupal theming by making your work effective and smart, and your results professional and faster, faster for you to develop and faster for the end-user to browse.
Clean and simple code, lightweight structure, latest technologies, 100% open-source and the best DX (developer experience) we could think of is what we hope you will find in this new drupal base theme.

We'll quickly go over most of the main features of Sasson and see how to use them.

Presenting Ftools: Un-Link Features Elements safely

While Features module is one of the main building stone of any Drupal website today, it has some aspects which can drive you (and/or your client) mad.
One of it's bigest problems is that it creates a very strong link between the feature and the configuration of the website. You may say:

"Hey! that's the whole idea of Features!"
