Open source in '08: Break-outs and consolidation
,----[ Quote ]
| There is an inevitable flow of events in which software companies will either
| get on the path or be left behind. If you start a software company today that
| is not SaaS or open source you are betting that the market will somehow
| revert to 1999. And I think we all remember what happened in 2001 here in the
| valley.

| Two years after founding this company I believe more than ever that open
| source is a question of when, not if.

| In the end, using Drupal for the SportsClub LA implementation proved to be a
| great experience, one that could be considered for other similarly sized
| projects. For more complex projects, Drupal might not fare as well, but due
| to its strong developer community and ever-growing market momentum it keeps
| getting consistently better and may prove itself to be of useful there as
| well.
