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.

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?
