Joomla vs Drupal: business models and commercial ecosystem
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is this happening? First, the Joomla
| people that I talked to believed that there
| was more money to be made in the Drupal world,
| as Drupal tends to attract larger projects.
| Further, the lack of Drupal template clubs is
| perceived as an opportunity for Joomla
| developers already familiar with that business
| model. Third, since the long awaited Joomla
| 1.6 release is "only" an incremental release,
| some people are only marginally excited about
| it. Contrasted with Drupal 7 and Wordpress
| 3.0, both of which are shaping up to be
| phenomenal, paradigm-shifting releases with
| tons of improvements and feature additions,
| many Joomla developers are expanding their
| horizons and portfolios.

The Cloud : at least an environment that favor open-source !
,----[ Quote ]
| Moreover, open-source companies that develop
| open-source software already have a business
| model that is compatible with the Cloud :
| their software is already freely downloadable
| and can be run on any computer. When the old
| license-based model is used then some
| adaptation on the business sides of things,
| for instance usage based vs instance based.
| When a service-model is used, then no change
| is needed.
