What's Happening

Sarasota, FL, June 9, 2011 – After being hailed by Inc.com for its work on the “Two Treasures,” AR marketing campaign, DFM has again garnered accolades. This time, Template Monster has tapped DFM’s apartfromwar.org as one of its “55 Best Drupal Websites" and the American Advertising Federation has awarded the site a silver Addy for Interactive Media (under McCormick & Winter/Syracuse University).

DFM copywriter John Edwards was recently invited to blog on ROBRADY design's website. His blog "Yelling Fire in a Crowded Marketplace" discusses how the right words can help make great design...and how the wrong ones can ruin it.

While DFM has truly enjoyed attending the last few DrupalCons in the United States. DFM decided to skip this year's 10th Year celebration at DrupalCon Chicago in lieu of getting a glimpse of European perspectives on the platform by traveling to DrupalCon London in August instead. We wanted to go to DrupalCon Paris last year, but it was beyond our budget at the time and might also cause our ears to bleed as we tried to remember our high school french. So with things a little better financially and in a host country where I understand the language (well, kind of--"two countries separated by a common language", etc), DrupalCon London will be the perfect excuse to both learn from our compatriots across the pond and to experience a taste of the rich history and culture available in Europe.
