I've had a pair busy weeks doing development and maintenance for contributed modules: Internationalization, Messaging, Notifications. All of them have got some new features and are on track for stable releases soon.

However, one of the the things I've realized (again) is that I've ended up maintaining way too many huge modules and maybe one of the ways to keep them moving faster is to break them down when it makes sense, and also to hand over maintenance to some more people. Now we have Mail2web (Ian Ward is the new maintainer) and Language Icons (Freso is helping with that one), more may be coming in the next future....

The other thing I've realized is that it is exhausting maintaining both 5.x and 6.x versions of a module. That means developing and testing everything twice with slight changes which is actually harder than working on two different projects. The thing is that Drupal 6 seems to be taking some time to become the main development version for new sites and more work is done with Drupal 5 yet.

I'm leaving on Sunday, so these days I've been quite busy preparing everything for the Boston Drupalcon 2008.

Attending the Drupal Conference in Barcelona, from Sept 19th to 22nd. It's the biggest DrupalCon ever, more than 400 people, and the place is really great, Citilab in Cornellá.

From this month I will be working part time for Development Seed which is quite an exciting prospect for me because of both, the nature of their projects

Finally, back to work after attending the Drupal Conference in Brussels and a few more days travelling around Europe.

Welcome to the 'new' web site. I've made some changes:
- Updated to Drupal 4.7.x, which went really smooth :-)

Today I got back to Drupal development after a few days just to find, to my astonishment, that things are still changing and instead of bugfixing we are still implementing new features.
