Editor's Notes
- Drupal is a good fit for Stanford “Die luft der freiheit weht”
- Stanford in numbers That’s a lot of projects -- actually that figure only represents “sponsored” projects This environment creates lots of websites
- Our Stanford Sites platform hosts over 1,000 websites It runs on a stack of about ~100 modules but we only had to make a dozen or so ourselves “many eyes tame complexity” also helps with security threats
- There is an insular local Drupal community at Stanford, but we interact with the global Drupal community Shops that compete for business have individuals that are friends and colleagues; Everyone comes together for DrupalCon
- We can’t handle it all ourselves, BUT Drupal companies exist!
- This book should be considered required reading for companies that are delving into open source Written 15 years ago, but still extremely pertinent today
