Yesterday was Facebook's f8 developers conference here in San Francisco. They presented some great information about the new look (wider canvas pages, wider profile boxes, new feed options) and also Facebook Connect which will change the way Drupal sites share information with Facebook. They held a hackathon and honored several of the projects Facebook's engineers considered the best. And Drupal for Facebook was a winner (specifically, of a Sony PS3)!

Speaking of conferences, I've proposed a session about Facebook App development at the upcoming DrupalCon. It needs votes to make it into the schedule, so if you will attend the DrupalCon, please take a moment to vote for that session.

I'd also like feedback, and more votes, for my grant proposal. This grant could help fund Drupal for Facebook, thereby making it easier to use and up-to-date with Facebook's latest features. If you don't know about the Knight Drupal Initiative, you really should participate. All the proposed grants need review from within the Drupal community before being considered by the Knight Foundation. And if you have ideas that need funding, you really should submit your own proposal.

At the recent Bay Area Drupal Camp, I presented Drupal for Facebook. I built a small Facebook Application and walked through how I used Drupal to create it. Now the details of this presentation are available in two screencasts.

This is recommended viewing if you're curious what Drupal for Facebook is, or if you've downloaded it and are struggling to set it up. Read more: http://www.dave-cohen.com/node/2246
