There is a lot of interesting information being published every day about Drupal. My favourite way to be kept up to date of the most important news is using my RSS reader. Over the years I have subscribed to dozens of feeds in my reader. This was getting too much though so I decided to do a little spring cleaning. I reduced my subscriptions to 7 feeds, which I think should keep me in touch of all important developments in Drupal world.
The key to reduce this number is to subscribe to a few aggregator feeds: feeds that are actually an aggregation of other other feeds.
Let's have a look at the list of websites that in my eyes are essential on your reading list...
Of course you should check out all "official" Drupal news and announcements. Keep in touch of new releases, conferences, book releases, high profile showcases, ...
Aggregator that runs on drupal.org and collects all posts from the most interesting Drupal blogs and sites, Digg mentions, Drupal flickr photos etc. Have a look at what sources it gets its stuff from. This is a must read if you're interested in articles about the business side of Drupal but also the technical one. You'll learn a lot here.
In one swag you have an overview of all interesting articles from people like Lullabot, Development Seed, Dries Buytaert, ...
DrupalFire! is a site hosted by John Forsythe. Like Drupal's aggregator he aggregates articles from other sites. In this case they're all hand picked by John himself. The selection is not as broad as Drupal's aggregator, but this improves quality.
The homepage of drupal.org is of course the advalvas for all the big announcements. If this is not your browser's default homepage, you should at least have it in your feed reader.
Little known fact is that you can subscribe to a feed of the Drupal modules listing page. This way you are being kept up to date of all new modules that are created on drupal.org.
Like the feed of new modules, this is the feed of new themes. Never miss a new Drupal theme again!
In the official Drupal forum, people can post what they've created with Drupal in the showcases section. This is a great way to see what other people are creating with Drupal and its plentitude of modules and themes. If you don't care about the smaller sites, all higher profile showcases posted here, are also getting mentioned on the drupal.org homepage.
If you're using an RSS reader, you can subscribe to all these feeds at once by downloading and importing my OPML file
For people using the excellent Google Reader, I've prepared a small Drupal bundle collecting all these news feeds. Just go to the bundle and subscribe to it.
