Happy ninth birthday Drupal

Happy ninth birthday

© Jamey Boje (aka graphicsguru)

Exactly nine years ago, I released Drupal 1.0.0. When I shared my hobby project with the world, I expected no more than a dozen people to actually use it. It took a large community of people to make Drupal successful, but today, Drupal has hundreds of thousands of friends. Thank you to everyone who has been and is contributing to Drupal. Rock!

Ain Tohvri:

Congrats Dries! Drupal is the most flexible and powerful Content Management Platform there is, by far.

I remember this date because I also have a birthday today and as a Drupal developer I know that Drupal is growing every year and is changing for better.

Keep it solid.
