Hi All,
just wanted to let everyone know that a client of mine is holding a graphic design contest. They are giving away a free Kicker iPod Docking Station (valued at $349.99) in exchange for the winning logo submission on their site www.gemsen.com/graphic-designer-needed. you can submit as many logos as you want and each counts as its own submission in the contest.

thought it might be a breeze for the graphic designers in the community and since opening yesterday, there is only one submission so little competition.

URL shorteners are the bane of the internet. However, for those of us who use Twitter on a regular basis, you know that 140 characters can be limiting. URLs can theoretically be 2,000 characters or more, but most are in the 40 to 80 character range. That's almost half your tweet! So we use URL shorteners to not only shorten the URLs, but (in the case of some services like Bit.ly) to track clicks and get statistics about who clicked on these short URLs.

The problem, however, with the popular URL services is that the more that they are used, the longer their URLs get. Both Bit.ly and Tiny.cc are up to 6 characters in their autogenerated URL paths. Add in the URL protocol (http://), the hostname (bit.ly) and the initial slash, and you've got minimum 20 character URLs.

So why use someone else's short URL service, when you can create your own, branded, shorter short URL service with URLs like lb.cm/a or jen.cm/j? A branded URL shortener can also be a sign of prestige or add a layer of trust. For instance, Flickr's URL shortener, flic.kr only links to Flickr photos. When you click on a flic.kr URL, you know what you're going to get. Google has a similar service with goo.gl and WordPress has recently launched wp.me. Even if you open it up for the public to use, as we have with lb.cm, there's just a certain geek prestige in having your own URL shortener.

So why use Drupal as a URL shortener? There are several single-purpose stand-alone Open Source URL shorteners out there already. And Drupal is sometimes criticized as being big and slow. URL shorteners need to be small and fast. On the other hand, we're not really expecting bit.ly-level traffic here, are we? Maybe we can consider Drupal.

Today, Drupalcon Copenhagen kicked off with the Core Developer Summit. At least a couple hundred Drupalistas from old school to new filtered in throughout the day, and we made tremendous progress on Drupal 7, as well as the future of the project.

The day kicked off with presentations by myself on how to improve our CVS application process, Larry Garfield with a short pitch for his talk Wednesday morning on Drupal: The Next Generation, Jen Simmons on HTML 5, its importance, and how it fits into Drupal, and David Strauss on Kargo Event-driven Drupal for crazy high-performance sites. These presentations laid out both current challenges, as well as whet our appetite for what's possible in the future in Drupal 8 and beyond.

Thanks to Justin Christofferson of larsdesigns, there are even videos of these sessions on archive.org!
