Drupal founder, Dries Buytaert, on passion, believing, and the open source way
,----[ Quote ]
| We estimate that there are 500,000 sites
| built with Drupal. There are thousands of
| people making money with Drupal. I never
| expected this to happen, and I feel that I
| have a very unique situation as the leader
| of the Drupal project. Certainly, my life
| is different from that of many of my
| friends.

Why Making Money from Free Software Matters
,----[ Quote ]
| Free software began as a political
| movement: its central aim was â and remains
| â the propagation of freedom. Later, it
| became a development methodology too,
| largely at the hands of Linus, whose
| geographical isolation in Finland forced
| him to develop ways of using the Internet
| to coordinate a new kind of massive, but
| decentralised, global collaboration. Later
| still, free software also became a way of
| making serious money â something that
| Stallman has repeatedly said he is quite
| happy with, contrary to much FUD claiming
| otherwise.

Either itâs free or itâs not
,----[ Quote ]
| Even small clauses, like those famous no-
| military-use restrictions, grate me like
| sand in my mouth. Extending your
| restriction downstream through other users
| and developers is an attempt to control the
| people who might otherwise find it useful.

Just because it's free doesn't make it open source
,----[ Quote ]
| To the open source veterans out there, that
| sounds moronic. Of course open source doesn't
| mean free. And why would free mean open
| source? Heck, until recently anyone could
| download Internet Explorer (Mac users can't
| anymore, but they weren't using it anyhow),
| and no one would mistake that for open source
| software.

Drupal upgrade to be slower but more scalable
,----[ Quote ]
| Drupal, the popular open source Web content
| management system, will sacrifice speed for
| scalability in the upcoming Drupal 7 upgrade,
| the founder of the project said on Monday
| afternoon.
|
| The upgrade to Drupal, meanwhile, could be
| available perhaps in the June timeframe or as
| late as September, said Drupal project founder
| Dries Buytaert in a presentation at the
| Drupalcon SF conference in San Francisco.
| Ideally, version 7 would be available this
| month, he said.
