Prolific Drupal contributor Dave Reid joins Ryan Price and Mike Anello on the first DrupalEasy podcast of 2012. They discuss the Meta Tags module (and why it’s not just for SEO anymore), Drupal’s security team, Drupal 8’s WSCCI initiative, the increasing complexity of Drupal’s code and the decreasing number of core contributors.

Kristof De Jaeger (swentel on drupal.org) joins Ryan Price and Mike Anello on the latest edition of the DrupalEasy podcast to talk about the (now unanimously agreed-upon) awesome Display Suite module. Other topics discussed include a (in our opinion) slanted Smashing Magazine article, IE9 automatic updates, and Media module + Solr goodness.

Ryan Price, Andrew Riley, Mike Anello, and special guest Stephen Barker (DigitalFrontiersMedia on drupal.org) discuss all the Drupal news that’s fit to talk about. Stephen Barker is a Drupal developer based in Sarasota, Florida with a background in biology and augmented reality (and somehow manage to tie it in with Drupal). We talk about mobile app development, Drupal 8 core initiatives status, Panels versus the world, as well as a bunch of other current stories. As always, we make our picks of week and announce our site of the week.

Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello interview part of the team from Droplabs, a Los Angeles-based Drupal-centric co-working facility. In addition to the usual latest Drupal news and picks, we spoke with Christefano Reyes, Blake Senftner, and Lee Vodra about the genesis of Droplabs, its place in the LA Drupal Community, and how they’re feeling their way in making the space successful in the long term. 

Ryan Price and Mike Anello are joined by Chris Shattuck from BuildAModule.com to talk about Drupal’s talent gap, Drupal 8 discussions at DrupalCon London, and a bunch of other stuff that’s been going on in the Drupal community over the last couple of weeks.
