DrupalCon Denver 2012: DRUPAL DISTRIBUTION CASE STUDIES: LEVERAGING OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS

This session features a panel discussion with experts from Acquia, Intel, and Phase2 Technology, exploring the relationship between community contributions in Drupal and the competitive landscape against proprietary software. The panelists discuss the history and significance of key Drupal distributions, insights gained from Acquia's efforts to foster community collaboration, and the importance of offering fewer services to attract more customers. They delve into how Intel's Open Technology Center utilizes COD for creating a reusable conference platform, as well as the rise of Drupal in external tech communities like Twitter and LinkedIn. Attendees will also learn about engaging the Drupal community to enhance Drupal-based products and the strategies for initiating and measuring the success of distributions from both a technical and business perspective.
