Acquia on Why Web Publishers Love DrupalâAnd How the Startup Balances Business
With Belonging to an Open-Source Community
,----[ Quote ]
| You might think that Acquia is to Drupal as Red Hat is to Linux, but that
| analogy doesnât quite work. For one thing, Red Hat charges for its version of
| Linux, while all versions of Drupal, including Acquiaâs, are free. Imagine
| that Linus Torvalds wasnât merely the gatekeeper for the Linux kernel but
| also chief technology officer at a company aiming to be the central source
| for Linux support; thatâs the somewhat precarious position Dries Buytaert,
| and therefore Acquia, occupies. So the company has to be extra careful not to
| make changes that might alienate the thousands of volunteer Drupal
| developers. âIn every major action, we talk about how do we make sure the
| community stays together,â says Erickson. âBut Dries and Drupal are so tied
| at the heart, itâs in Driesâs DNA for that to happen.â

How open source levels all software market segments
,----[ Quote ]
| In a new study on open-source adoption in the business intelligence (BI)
| market, it's becoming clear that both the benefits and shortcomings of open
| source software are nearly universal across all technology segments.
