Dries Buytaert Open Source Rock Star / Entrepreneur?
,----[ Quote ]
| In the world of technology we're always looking for the latest 'rock star'.
| Who is that next hot tech visionary that will build an adoring following of
| thousands?
|
| In my opinion we can now add the founder of the open source content
| management system Drupal (and its commercial startup Acquia) Dries Buytaert
| to the rock star list. This week he launched Acquia with $7 million in
| funding. He also hosted a Drupal lovefest (DrupalCon Boston) which boasted
| over 800 attendees.

Five Trends at Southern California Linux Expo
,----[ Quote ]
| 5. Ubuntu for Servers: Yes, you know The VAR Guy already runs Ubuntu on one
| of his desktops. And Jono Bacon, Canonical’s Ubuntu Community Manager, will
| offer a keynote focused on Linux desktops. But listen closely, folks. Much of
| the buzz around Ubuntu is now expanding to the server. Dell, for one, is
| certifying its servers to run Ubuntu. Watch for Canonical to increasingly
| promote Ubuntu as a server platform for LAMP-oriented solutions.
