In 2006, Drupal.org traffic increased 250%. In order to prepare for future growth of Drupal.org and the needs of the Drupal community the Drupal Association is looking into starting a paid advertising program. We believe that paid advertising that is relevant to the needs of Drupal administrators, Drupal users, and the Drupal community can be placed in relevant sections of Drupal.org and help the Drupal community greatly by funding improvements and infrastructure for Drupal.org websites.

The Drupal Association announces the creation of a non-profit corporation to support and further advance the industry-leading Open Source CMS. The Drupal project powers hundreds of thousands of web sites -- including political sites for Hillary Clinton and Redstate.com, social networking community sites like MTV UK and Sony Musicbox, citizen journalism sites such as NowPublic, and sites for government agencies including NASA, NATO, and the World Bank -- and is developed by thousands of contributors from around the world.
