My first months at Acquia
,----[ Quote ]
| Approximately 25% of my time is spent running engineering and directing
| product development. The latter includes specifying the product, defining
| what our engineers will work on, ensuring that we're on track, and making
| sure that we have the best technology. I also enjoy talking to other projects
| and companies to create options for both Acquia and the Drupal community.
|
| In my role as CTO, I don't think I've contributed a single line of code to
| Acquia's upcoming products. I expected this, but I find it surprising
| nonetheless. Instead I'm often sidetracked into marketing, human resources,
| and customer service related activities. It is interesting and refreshing to
| be on both the technical side and the business side of things. I like it a
| lot.

WordPress is Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Six Apart has recently decided that the best way to win back customers
| fleeing their platforms is to target WordPress, which is a new strategy they
| call competing. (What have they been doing the past 7 years?) A good example
| is this exchange between a commenter on Valleywag and Byrne Reese, the lead
| developer of Movable Type:
|
| Sundown: “@anildash: what part of Wordpress is not open source?”
|
| byrnereese: “@Sunnduwn - I think that is a question better asked of
| Automattic. Anil, and certainly not Six Apart, has never been briefed, nor
| has anyone for that matter been presented with an accounting of what is open
| and closed source at Automattic.”
|
| Okay, here’s some accounting:
|
| WordPress is 100% open source, GPL.
|
| All plugins in the official directory are GPL or compatible, 100% open
| source.
|
| bbPress is 100% GPL.
|
| WordPress MU is 100% open source, GPL, and if you wanted you could take it
| and build your own hosted platform like WordPress.com, like edublogs.org has
| with over 100,000 blogs.
|
| There is more GPL stuff on the way, as well. :)
|
| Could you build Typepad or Vox with Movable Type? Probably not, especially
| since people with more than a few blogs or posts say it grinds to a halt, as
| Metblogs found before they switched to WordPress.
