Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal, on WhiteHouse.gov's open source platform
,----[ Quote ]
| Dries Buytaert: Any time a large, high
| traffic website launches on Drupal, it
| validates the choice that thousands of
| other organizations have made when
| incorporating Drupal into their Web
| strategy. The biggest questions for any
| CMS--whether it's open source or not--
| include the following: Is it hard to
| deploy? Does it meet the functional
| requirements? Will it scale? Is it secure?
| Will it help the organization meet its
| objectives for the Web? The launch of the
| White House website is another in a long
| line of proof points that demonstrate the
| success of Drupal as a web technology
| platform and a successful open source
| project.

Should the White House Contribute to the Open Source Community?
,----[ Quote ]
| While this measure may not be an immediate
| cost-saver (5 different companies are
| involved in re-building and maintaining the
| White House web site), long-term costs
| should fall as government agencies are able
| to borrow from the greater Drupal community
| while incrementally improving on the
| websites code. But the question remains,
| will the Obama White House share some of the
| contributions itâs making to open source?
