Matt Mullenweg And Dries Buytaert Probably Separated At Birth
,----[ Quote ]
| As I came to learn in the interview, it's as though Buytaert and Mullenweg
| were separated at birth. They were born only 6 years apart (The older of the
| two -- Buytaert -- was born in 1978 when I was a senior in high school). Both
| went on to create wildly successful PHP-based content management systems
| (Mullenweg did WordPress, Buytaert did Drupal). Both men open sourced those
| content management systems. And today, both are the founders of VC-funded
| commercial enterprises (Mullenweg's Automattic and Buytaert's Acquia) looking
| to capitalize on their founders' art and fame.

The Open Source Opportunity
,----[ Quote ]
| As you can see, the growth in demand for people skilled in open-source CMS
| platforms, in particular Drupal and Joomla, is huge. Part of the reason these
| particular platforms are ushering in more jobs for tech workers is that many
| publishers are switching to free, open-source content management systems from
| expensive proprietary ones. (In this post over at OStatic, I discussed that
| shift, and how the first major online publication in the UK is now running
| completely on Drupal.)
