News From The Drop
2 min read
Over the last couple weeks, there have been some large shifts in the world of Drupal development.
The first of these occurred last week, when Raincity Studios acquired Bryght. For the three non-geeks reading this blog, Raincity is a Vancouver, cA based design shop, and Bryght was the first Drupal company out there. While I have yet to meet the Raincity folks, I know several of the Bryght guys, and they do amazing work, both for their clients and within the Drupal community. This partnership promises some great things for advancing Drupal development, and Drupal design.
The next piece of news (and file this under, "Man, It's About Time"): Dries Buytaert, Drupal's founder, has launched a Drupal-based startup called Acquia. Dries describes the details on his blog, and on Acquia's FAQ page, so I won't recount them here. The one thing I will say, though, is that Dries' leadership and vision has shephered the Drupal project to the place it is today -- and he has done this while working on Drupal in his spare time. I'm very excited to see what can be accomplished now that Dries' actual job is working on Drupal.
Exciting times ahead.
