It is great to see the core CiviCRM team putting time in to more consulation with the community and setting up an Advisory Board.
I was surprised to get an invite to participate but thinking about it I can see that it would be useful to be able to contribute to this from the perspective of someone who is more on the implementation side of the equation, than on the development side.
And hopefully I can ensure that the political sectors interests get voiced. Not sure if I will be the only one from this side of the equator but good to know that the South get a voice.

The work we are doing for Living Streets Aotearoa involves importing the old WalkIt resource library in to Drupal and reconfiguring the categorisation system to one that is simpler for the user.
Thanks to two Drupal modules this is proving to be a straightforward process.
Views Bulk Operations has made the process of the categorisation overhaul nice and simple. Being able to grab all the files that had been categorised in a particular way in the old system, and recategorise them in bulk to the new taxonomy is very useful.
Meanwhile Faceted Search has also turned up trumps, providing a very user friendly advanced search function.
Good work developers!

Good work by all the civi crew and the community that have been helping with the development and the testing of 2.2. Am looking forward to making use of some of the new features that this offers, such as:
- CiviCase: a huge addition that provides a valuable tool for case management
- Personal Campaign Pages : enabling supporters to drive potential contributors to the contribution pages
- CiviEvent: discounts, early bird registration and much more
- CiviCore: ability to force Drupal registration when using Profile forms
