Orange and the R&D department at faberNovel have just launched Urban Mobs, a showcase in advanced data visualization.

Urban Mobs is used to analyze citywide mobile phone activity and create stunning traffic pattern visualizations. Their site currently shows a series of time-lapse visualizations based on cell tower data gathered in France, Spain, Poland and Romania.

5 tracks, 25 sessions, 50+ attendees and it’s not even noon.

Some stuff on the board: Drupal case studies, Drupal+mobile, writing simpletests, data portability, improving performance, Drupal crash course and strategy: identifying needs.

Cool.

Here’s one of the better excuses to head to France in a couple of weeks: DrupalCampParis 3.

If you were there last time, you know you don’t want to miss it for the world.

Drupal 6 : Créez des sites web de qualité professionnelle, a translation of David Mercer’s Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6 was presented at the Paris Drupal Meetup last night.

The Paris Drupal meetup yesterday was a hit again, with twice the expected number of people showing up. Even a couple of tourists like Bonnie Bogle, Eric Gundersen and Kevin Walsh dropped by.

No such thing as a ‘local community’ anymore. Interesting.

Don’t forget to drop by the Paris Drupal Meetup tonight, if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Drupal + Beer @ Le Hall 1900 (64, Rue Rambuteau) starting 19:30.

See you there!
