| Defense official memo on open source
| software to adoption by global
| organizations like Nike, Intel, General
| Motors, Proctor & Gamble and thousands
| more, tells us that open source software is
| changing how enterprises do business," said

| tremendous growth in Drupal adoption is a
| testament to the talent and passion of the
| Drupal community, and Acquia is proud to
| support this community as a Platinum

Why WhiteHouse.gov chose Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| From the minute President Obama walked into
| the White House it was clear that the web
| team would have to rethink their strategy.
| "Branding is what the Obama administration
| and campaign team are all about," said
| Klause. The new administration also had
| greater demands for connecting with
| constituents and using rich media. "We
| couldn't keep up with what the new media
| team wanted," he said.
|
| The WhiteHouse.gov team needed a fully
| functional content management system with
| an improved workflow and blogging features.
| Klause also wanted to be able to create new
| content types on the fly and add community-
| building features. Klause decided it would
| be helpful to go with a platform with an
| active and innovative community. "We needed
| a system with agility and to me, innovation
| happens in the open-source communities,"
| explained Klause.

Vosao: CMS for Google App Engine
,----[ Quote ]
| This is on top of Vosao's support for
| WYSIWYG editing, content versioning, SEO-
| friendly URLs and other standard CMS
| goodies. The goal of the project isn't just
| to produce a free software CMS (it's
| licensed under the GPLv2), but to support
| App Engine, which allows free hosting for
| sites with up to 500 MB of storage and 5
| million page views per month.

Is this the year the proprietary CMS dies?
,----[ Quote ]
| A few panels at SXSWi gave rather
| convincing evidence this has become the
| norm, not the exception.
|
| It wasn't any surprise that speakers at the
| Friday panel, "Selling Your Milk When the
| Cow is Free," were in the open source
| corner. After all, the moderator was Jeff
| Eaton, software architect for Lullabot
| Consulting and a core developer for the
| Drupal project. Panelists were Brad
| Fitzpatrick, creator of LiveJournal; Evan
| Prodromou, founder/CEO of StatusNet Inc,
| the Open Source microblogging company; Eric
| Gundersen, president/co-founder of
| Development Seed; and Tiffany Farriss,
| president of Palantir.net Inc. and member
| of the Drupal Association Board of
| Directors.

How Open Source Led the Blogging Revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| The Panthers site is hosted on a Linux
| system, so it took me a little while to
| remember all of my Linux/Unix stuff, but
| within a day or two I was cruising. I
| updated the Word Press install and
| installed the automatic update plug in for
| future updates. I also installed a bunch of
| other plug ins that bring all kinds of
| functionality to your blog. There are
| literally 100's if not thousands of plug
| ins that let Word Press do virtually
| whatever you want.
|
| I love the dashboard and control panel for
| Word Press. Many of the plug ins have their
| own configuration screens that you can
| access and you can use the widget page to
| arrange your side bars.

| based e-commerce sites and solutions.
|
| In advance of the conference, we caught up

| package. Here are some of his thoughts on
| where Drupal-based commerce is headed.
