Movable Type 5 Released, Adds Versioning, Better Management
,----[ Quote ]
| Movable Type was released as open source in
| December 2007. The clarity around this
| effort and the its community momentum has
| largely languished from what we see. The
| current MT 5 release messaging highlights
| the open source version as an option for
| developers. It does not seem to be
| positioned the same way other commercial
| open source options are. This is probably
| one of the reasons why ex-Movable Type
| product manager lead an effort to fork
| Movable Type Open Source into what is now
| know as Open Melody (news, site). The first
| release of Open Melody is due in Q1 of this
| year.

Bespoke CMS - bad news for you, good news for your agency
,----[ Quote ]
| In a world of widely available, top quality,
| open source and commercial content
| management systems, thereâs no upside to
| using a bespoke system. All the advantages
| lie with the agency, not the clientâwhich of
| course is why they try to sell them to you!

New Drupal Book: Drupal for Dummies
,----[ Quote ]
| My new book, Drupal for Dummies, is now
| available. My intended audience is non-
| technical, so if you've got a friend who
| wants you to build a Drupal site for them,
| this might be worth mentioning to them. The
| companion Web site,
| http://drupalfordummies.com was created using
| only the information presented in the book.

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.

Obama Team Challenges Web Developers

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?
