Also, it coincides with a new installation of Drupal for my consulting website , using the same basic template (called “ Blueprint “). I’d been working with Drupal for NOSI (we’ve had the site in Drupal for a while now,) but I’d never installed and configured and messed with Drupal from scratch, so I did that.

As the author of a custom CMS (it did have the advantage that it was released as open source, but it never caught on, so it still counts as custom) I know what it is like to put my heart and soul (and time) into a CMS, and want my clients to get what they want. But, that was then, and this is now. But, that was then, and this is now.

OpenAds , an open source ad server (very cool) just got tons of $ in financing. Open source is becoming mainstream, and people (that is, people with money) are starting to throw big bucks in the direction of open source projects, and companies that provide services for open source projects.

First is the wholesale movement toward the three major open source CMS platforms/frameworks, Drupal , Joomla and Plone. Providers seem to be surviving (or thriving) with this model, free and open source software projects are getting the support they need, and clients are getting the software solutions they need.

The single largest CMS used was Drupal, at 15%, followed by Plone and Joomla (approx 8% each.) All of the free and open source options did quite well in terms of Quality, Usability, and Value. There is some great food for thought, although in some ways, the results aren’t so surprising. Ok sorry for evangelizing.

For another client, I helped them vet vendors for their new website, taught them the difference between Joomla, Drupal and Plone, and I helped free them from a vendor who was particularly egregious in their hosting charges, among other things. 1200/month for an old and therefore crappy custom CMS and not much support. OK, enough of that.

I know that’s one more thing in a long list of considerations (and it’s generally more important to think about for the CRM – the CMS, if it is modern, and especially if it is open source, will provide few barriers to integration.) at 3:50 pm CiviCRM and Drupal (& Joomla) 01.26.09 3 sudha 01.15.09

How about some community-owned, community-driven free and open source options? at 9:47 am Actually, the truth with free and open source software is that it is indeed possible to get very good software without shareholder investment. Drupal, Joomla is run by a foundation, as is Mozilla and many others.

For now, unless something strange happens, I’ll settle on Cake – although I’ll not be spending too much time on it, since I’m working hard to grok Drupal. They both have good documentation and active communities. But perhaps a cool project will manifest, and I can use it. Be Helpful.
