Commercial open source had very good 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| 2009 was very good for open-source businesses.
| Sure, there was the very public news of Red
| Hat's gravity-defying year, along with
| Novell's SUSE Linux business climbing each
| quarter, but what of the still-private open-
| source companies?

Happy ninth birthday Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| Exactly nine years ago, I released Drupal
| 1.0.0. When I shared my hobby project with
| the world, I expected no more than a dozen
| people to actually use it. It took a large
| community of people to make Drupal
| successful, but today, Drupal has hundreds
| of thousands of friends. Thank you to
| everyone who has been and is contributing
| to Drupal. Rock!

Will Open Government Directive drive Drupal usage?
,----[ Quote ]
| Acquia will also offer a seminar series for
| U.S. federal, state, and local governments to
| discuss adoptions and best practices for
| government use. This is definitely a smart
| move, as risk-averse government agency IT
| decision makers will take comfort in the
| successes of their peers with Drupal Social
| Publishing.
|
| Acquia appears poised to take advantage of the
| growing interest in open source and social
| media. Increased use of Drupal will open the
| door further to open source adoption within
| governments in the United States and worldwide.
| In doing so, Acquia is definitely playing its
| part as a founding member of Open Source for
| America.

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
,----[ Quote ]
| Having rebuilt Whitehouse.gov on the open
| source Drupal platform, President Obama's
| new media team is calling on the open
| source community for new ideas and
| technology.

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?
