In this post I would like to show a way to combine Drupal OSM (open street maps) interface with websockets push technology, in order to allow drupal based sites to work as a real-time online monitor, for real world physical actions.
Unless you are already familiar with the terms that I have mentioned so far, you probably don't really understand what I am talking about, so as a prologue I'll elaborate on a few key terms:
Drupal 7 is going to introduce a lot of improvements, many of them regarding the user experience and user interface. in the past few days one of the greatest (and maybe the last) of these changes was committed - a new core theme, and not just a core theme but a new default theme for Drupal - that means that the mythological Garland, after almost four years, gives way to a new, fresh face for the next Drupal release.
One of the classical challenges when working with maps is - How to set a map with two content layers, each with it's own markers color ( with no code involved ).
We'll use the OpenLayers module that bringing the OpenLayers JavaScript library into Drupal.
Although it's most convenient to work with, settings are not always trivial and can be a bit confusing at the beginning. We'll try to go over the settings process and pass through all obstacles.
Drupal core - Drupal 6.x
Modules – Content Construction Kit (CCK), Views, OpenLayers

From the land of Milk, Honey, Beer and Drupal fanatics: We are glad to inform you of our new collection, of home brewed Drupalager Beer. After the great success of last year's beer promotion, we decided to manufacture two more flavors, in honor of DrupalCon Paris 2009.
Each flavor now has its own special label.
In a more philosophical perspective, Drupalager flavors are like Taxonomy free tagging - they come from the same vocabulary, but each one has its own unique characteristics.
Stay tuned for our special D7 Drinkability testing (#D7DL)...
I just saw this Kaltura Christmas special in TechCrunch and it finally spurred me to write a bit about an interesting battleground that is forming between video platform solutions which are releasing access to their platform through drupal modules.
In our effort to grow drupal in the local foss and commercial scene, we decided to spice up one of the bigger opensource conferences in israel - August Penguin.
One of our developers makes a really cool homemade beer and we decided that we should take these two passions (alcohol + drupal) and brew them into one...
So we present you with DRUPALAGER!
