ADUG Meetup Video Footage Now Available - Open Publish and Drupal Gardens Demos

Feb 17, 2010

We had an action packed Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG) meetup last week with two awesome demonstrations of emerging Drupal distributions - Open Publish, which was created by our friends at Phase2 Technology and Drupal Gardens from our partner, Acquia. We had a last minute change of plans since Phase2, who was originally going to co-present with Kent Lester, was neck deep in the Snowmageddon taking place in Washington D.C. However, it happened to work out well, and we allocated the extra time to Chuck D’Antonio, Director of Professional Services at Acquia, who was in Atlanta. read more »

Mediacurrent: Acquia's TCO White Paper is a Must Read for Those Marketing Drupal Services

Jan 4, 2010

Tags: Acquia | Best Practices | Drupal | Marketing | Open Source

There was a new white paper titled "TCO for Open Source Social Publishing: Going Beyond Social Business Software" just released from our partner, Acquia, that deserves spotlight recognition.
