Drupal on cover of Information Week
Drupal was featured on the cover of last week's Information Week, a weekly technology magazine with 440,000 subscribers. The accompanying article is also available online: Collaboration is at the heart of Open Source content management. (Hat tip: John VanDyk and The Worx Company)
w00t!
How interesting that this comes on the heels of a Gartner Group MarketScope report on the CMS business that pretty much writes off open source as having less than three percent of the market. This is a great example of how the so-called enterprise market hasn't a clue as to placing a value of open source products.
Their favorites were Ektron and Interwoven. If you look at typical deal sizes for Ektron, they are comparable to Drupal deals at the enterprise level. I am sure that they pulled that number out of their posteriors.
We recently pitched a Drupal/Alfresco package against SharePoint, and the outcome is looking very good.

Cary, I'm not trying to steal this thread from Dries, but I have to ask...how are you integrating Drupal and Alfresco? I've been pitching a Acquia or Alfresco implementation against SharePoint, but I haven't given much thought on integrating the two together. What requirements does Drupal meet that Alfresco doesn't?
November 23, 2008 - 23:41One magazine after another writes articles about Linux & OSS. The biggest barrier against Linux adoption was lack of information about it. Now this barrier is deteriorating fast.
November 24, 2008 - 09:52Bigger then Linux. Any other "company" would kill for such a brand/logo. Too bad "we" think it scares new users.
