The site www.whitehouse.gov is now running Drupal, a FOSS content management system.

Stephen:

Your link takes me to the White House homepage, but I see nothing about Drupal there.  I did a search of the site and came up with this link.  Is that what you had in mind?

Here's a little hint in the source:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings, { "basePath": "/" });
//--><!]]>
</script>

Ah.  One has to look below the surface to see that, it seems.

Interesting nonetheless.

Frank,

>> One has to look below the surface to see that, it seems. <<

Or read the Washington Post last Saturday.
White House officials described the change as similar to rebuilding the foundation of a building without changing the street-level appearance of the facade. It was expected to make the White House site more secure - and the same could be true for other administration sites in the future.
The article describes why open source is good and secure. :-)

Doug:

Thanks for the link.  It appears that the writer of the article did not fully grasp the open source concept, as the way the article is written almost suggests that the 'joe average' visitors to the site are writing the code.  However, it is a strong endorsement of open source products.

Now, is it running on Linux?  :)

Frank.
