Web 2.0: Acquia Pushes Pro-Level Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| Drupal is easily one of the most popular site-framework tools out there, not
| just because it's open source and liberally licensed, but because it covers
| such a staggering amount of territory: blogging, content management,
| community development, and a metric ton of other functionality. Drupal grew
| up with Web 2.0 and evolved with it, and a lot of that evolution's success is
| due to its Drupal being both an open source project and an open source
| contribution destination.

No crunch with open source
,----[ Quote ]
| August was an incredible month for Alfresco in leading innovation in the ECM
| world. We released a new generation of content and social collaboration
| software with Alfresco Share which uniquely allows Microsoft customers to
| liberate themselves from the SharePoint lock-in by offering the first open
| source implementation of the SharePoint Protocol for Office. This should be
| good news for companies struggling to cope with the credit crunch by
| releasing them from the purgatory of proprietary licensing.

Open Source Skills: How frequent is Open Source Self-Sufficiency?
,----[ Quote ]
| The open source jobs boom reflect enterprises’ needs, but also public tenders
| tell a lot about open source usage within enterprises and public
| institutions. Beyond the possible impact of the Dutch study on the
| acquisition of open source software, the importance of open source skills has
| been already recognized years ago. After four years, nothing changed, and
| open source skill development business is still coming from a small in number
| of companies (LPI, Red Hat, MySQL and few others).

| Created as an open-source project by Dries Buytaert, Drupal is a free content
| management framework--a tool for building customized websites quickly and
| easily, without sacrificing features or stability. Site owners can choose
| from a list of possible features: they might, say, want to publish articles,
| offer each user a profile and a blog, or allow users to vote or comment on
| content. All these features are optional, and most are independent of the
| others.

Acquia to Ship Commercially Supported Drupal Build
,----[ Quote ]
| Acquia, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert’s new company, took to the stage last
| Thursday at the Launch Pad session at the web 2.0 Expo in SF. Although they
| didn’t win the people’s choice for best startup (this honor went to Triggit),
| their soon to be released Carbon and Spokes programs are still plenty
| enticing.
|
| [...]
|
| It can be thought of as the equivalent of Red Hat distributions of Open
| Source Linux in that it’s essentially a commercial supported distribution of
| Open Source software. The benefit of such a system is that it offers users
| all the glories of open source software and community support along with
| business-quality support and response time guarantees.
