Dries Buytaert's rules for creating a great community
,----[ Quote ]
| At OSBC last week I saw a great presentation by Dries Buytaert on how to
| build community. Dries is the founder of Drupal. The slides for his
| presentation (20 MB) include "Dries' 7 secrets" which I'll write about here.
|
| Dries started out by showing us how the Drupal community really is a
| community excited about Drupal. He had pictures of people carrying around
| cutouts of people that couldn't attend a conference, hand made Drupal socks,
| Drupal cookies, etc.

Open-source Drupal turns pro
,----[ Quote ]
| The standard Drupal core already has decent management, but several Acquia
| network modules, installed during setup, take administration a few steps
| further. These enable your Acquia Drupal installation to communicate securely
| with the Acquia Network and exchange configuration, operation, and profile
| information.
|
| A big part of what you're paying for with Acquia Drupal is support; the
| portal offers a simple way to log support incidents and track your tickets.
| During my testing, Acquia did meet the specified response deadline — and
| resolved my questions satisfactorily.
