Drupal thrives in Taiwan

,----[ Quote ]
| After a while I discovered that there was even 
| a Drupal Taiwan website. So I got in touch 
| with the site admin and head organizer, 
| Charles Chuang, and he let me know there would 
| be a meetup in late December. The gathering 
| would be at a local cafe in central Taipei and 
| the topic would be new features, discuss 
| strategy, and socialize to make new friends 
| with like-minded souls.

Everything in health care depends on execution

| These administrative shifts, from proprietary 
| to open source systems, toward routine 
| transfers of medical data, could have happened 
| anyway. They have accelerated thanks to 
| Administration statements endorsing open 
| source systems like VistA. The environment has 
| shifted.

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?
