Dan and Dave have a built a business and a community around magic. Their online store serves as an interactive lifestyle hub for magicians worldwide, not only offering instructional media and accessories, but a place where magic enthusiasts can share and learn the tricks of the trade. But their marvelous site didn’t just happen by magic. In fact, Dan and Dave had been constantly frustrated by the limitations of their original eCommerce site—so much so that they decided to build the new one from scratch. They began by brainstorming with Magento Solution Partner, Digital Operative, who recommended Magento as the perfect platform for their ambitious plans. Magento offered the reliability and scalability to make their frustrations disappear, along with the flexibility to implement their ideas for expansion. Digital Operative gave Dan and Dave functionality they wanted by integrating a number of third-party applications with their Magento site. The creation of a “streaming” Magento product type to allow Dan and Dave to sell online videos, tiered pricing, a reward points system and a sliding carousel for product photos and trailers on each product page to put what’s important in front of the customer all help contribute to what makes the new site an interactive, user-friendly shopping experience. Rich with interactivity, innovative functions, and informative design, Dan and Dave have seen dramatic results across the board. They are much happier with a site that, as they say, “just works,” yet has state-of-the-art eCommerce features contributing to the growth of their business. At the same time, the new magic site offers a user-friendly place to spark the enthusiasm of a flourishing community of amateur and professional magicians.

Back in 2009, Groups.Drupal.Org (GDO) went through a major transition including upgrading from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, a redesign, and adding new maintainers. We are currently in the process of a similar transition. The site has already gone through a redesign, and as we make plans to transition to Drupal 7, we will also be moving to new maintainers for the next year. Making it easier to contribute to GDOBetween the Drupal Association’s initiative to improve *.drupal.org, the community brainstorming on site improvements, and feature requests in the Groups.Drupal.Org issue queue, there is clearly a lot of interest in making improvements to GDO. However, for folks who want to roll up their sleeves and help by filing a patch, the path to replicating GDO for development purposes hasn’t always been clear. As a strategy for making it easier for anyone in the Drupal community to file a patch and streamlining maintenance efforts for the site, we have proposed that GDO will run the Commons distribution of Drupal for Drupal 7. Of course, this means that improvements made to GDO benefit sites powered by Drupal Commons and vice-versa, that generic improvements to Commons will benefit GDO. New maintainers: Meet Ezra, Scott, and Justin  
Helping with this transition, Ezra Gildesgame (ezra-g), maintainer of Drupal Commons, is also now a maintainer of groups.drupal.org. Ezra is the technical lead for Drupal distributions at Acquia, has been contributing to Drupal for over 5 years, and also maintains the Conference Organizing Distribution (COD). Our other new Groups.Drupal.Org maintainers are Scott Reynen (sreynen) and Justin Toupin (justin2pin) from Aten Design Group. Scott is Lead Developer at Aten and has been contributing to Drupal for over 5 years, including helping to organize the Denver group on GDO. Justin Toupin is CEO at Aten, and has been leading the organization’s involvement in Drupal since version 4.7. Getting involved: How you can make GDO betterThis process of upgrading Groups.Drupal.Org is an especially good time to get involved by joining a few different groups and queues:
Note that Ezra, Scott, and Justin have agreed to work on the site for at least a year. If you think you might want to take over in a year, the best way to do that is to get involved working on the site in these issue queues. Thanks, Greg & Josh!This is also a great opportunity to thank Greg Knaddison (greggles) and Josh Koenig for their help maintaining Groups.Drupal.Org over the past few years. Josh and Greg found they were too busy with other projects unrelated to community site building which made it harder to find time for GDO (Josh building Pantheon and Greg working with Acquia’s Profesional Services Security Group and the Drupal Security Team). Greg and Josh hope that transitioning to people who spend more of their lives working on community sites will help GDO be an even more valuable collaboration platform for our community. Canonical, the commercial sponsor of the Ubuntu distribution of Linux, has announced the beta version of AWSOME, a service to help user to transition from Amazon Web Services to the OpenStack platform

But as the first member of the Ubuntu family to lose official endorsement, where is Kubuntu headed? And more importantly, what does its departure mean for the Ubuntu brand as a whole?
