Training and Development for Drupal

Drupal.org turns 500,000!

One half meeellion nodes...

Someone out there must have noticed that Drupal.org hit its 500,000th node on June 23, 2009. That's a half million drops in the community pool that makes this project so excellent. The lucky winner is seanr with a module release.

It looks like Drupal.org is ramming through about 1000 posts a day. At this rate a plus the exponential growth of this community, there is no telling how soon we'll hit that one million mark. We just crossed the 250,000 node mark 14 months ago. I'll make a suggestion that someone start a pool for the date of the one millionth node.

I'll cast the first vote for Sept 25, 2010. Yeah, that's soon, but mark my words.

It's not quite true. Yes node

It's not quite true. Yes node 500,000 was used, but take a peek at 499,999 or 499,997 or in fact pick any odd number in the last couple hundred thousand.

Ever since d.o went master/slave replication, odd numbers don't exist.

Well, odd numbers after node

Well, odd numbers after node 376445 don't exist. So if I do a little math, the actual 1/2 million node will be http://www.drupal.org/node/623555.

Thanks for the shout out. I

Thanks for the shout out. I actually noticed that as soon as I posted it. Told a bunch of people in the office and tweeted it.

You're like a cewebrity.
