From [Slashdot]. . . . Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux - Rob writes "A common reason why more governments and enterprises around the world are moving to open source software is unhappiness." The article talks some about how governments officially supporting OSS is a way to encourage citizens to become software developers.

How to evaluate a content management system looks like a good thing to read to understand CMS's.

Create a Drupal theme and configuration for a school. You'd probably add flexinode content types for teachers, announcements, sporting events. Stuff like that. I'll probably be doing a Drupal presentation at TETC this fall. It'd be great to have a good starting place for teachers/schools that want to use Drupal.

So I've been thinking lately about how teachers need tools that are easier to use. I've thought for a long time that Normal People don't need to learn how to use tools like Dreamweaver or Frontpage (or even NVU, which is at least Open Source and looks like a good tool if you think you want to create static web pages). Now that I've been using Drupal for a while, I'm more convinced that I was right.
