whitehouse.gov goes Drupal

Wow. Amazing news, probably even better for the people that want to sell their drupal services to the rest of the world (which I 100% support!). The whitehouse.gov went Drupal

The Obama goverment made their promise (at least a little bit now) to have a more transparent goverment. As I read somewhere.. More transparent then publishing your website’s code is a hard challenge!

This is not the first Drupal website for the american goverment and I hope that more goverments, NGO’s, companies, people will follow this example. For me, this news is really exciting because it means that Drupal is somehow accepted as an adult in the CMS/CMF world competing with the bigger (even closed) brothers.

Keep going people! I think this is a good sign ;-)

About Nick Veenhof

I have been involved in open source communities for almost 15 years now, with the majority of that in the Drupal ecosystem, but have interacted with a lot more technologies. I'm no stranger to cloud infrastructure and the devops iterative way-of-working. Aside from technology, I try to be a good coach & mentor by embracing change and to lead by example. Next to this,I am advocating Open Source. At Gitlab I'm working on how to make it easier and more rewarding to contribute to GitLab and try to make our digital world a better and more open place compared to yesterday.
