    Announcing: The Drupal Association

    On January 15, 2001, Dries Buytaert started a new hobby - he created the content management system that became known as Drupal. Six years of phenomenal growth have followed. The Drupal project has evolved from a part-time interest for a handful of students to one of the most thriving and productive open source software projects in the world.

    Introduction

    About Drupal

    Drupal is a software project that makes it easy for website administrators and website users to publish content (web pages, books, blogs, forums) to the web. Website administrators use Drupal to customize their website through a configurable user interface, the ability to extend the website with modules, and an extensible framework design. Drupal provides "plumbing for communities" which allows for community participation, including user generated content.

    FAQ

    Why do we need a Drupal Association?

    Creating the Drupal Association opens up a number of opportunities for the project. For example, donations may be given to the project through a central entity, rather than to individual community members. By handling administrative tasks, such as event management, this frees resources within the community to focus on improving the Drupal project. It also provides the opportunity for individuals and businesses to be formally recognized as supporters of the project.
