Interview
Wired interview
Last week in San Francisco, Jay and I spent some time at the Wired office with Wired's Michael Calore and Scott Loganbill. Of course, we took this as an opportunity to evangelize Drupal so we sat down in Wired's Webmonkey zoo to talk about Drupal and Acquia. Check out the transcript of our conversation that was published on webmonkey.com. Thanks for the office tour Michael and Scott!
CNET interview
When I was in San Francisco last week for Gilbane, I was interviewed by Rafe Needleman of CNET's WebWare. We talked about Drupal and how amazing the project is, as well as about Acquia, my Drupal startup.
You can read the interview online, or you can watch the accompanying video they shot for CNET TV:
CMSWire interview
I was interviewed by John Conroy of CMSWire. It turned out slightly more technical and visionary than previous interviews.
ComputerWorld interview
Dahna McConnachie interviewed me for ComputerWorld Australia: Drupal, from a drop in the ocean to a big fish in the CMS world.
Drupal memory lane
I was recently interviewed by Janani Gopalakrishnan for the July 2007 issue of Linux For You, the leading Linux and Open Source magazine in India.
Call it a web application platform, a content management system, a blogging engine, a bulletin board system, or a ‘community plumbing’ framework (as the team loves to call it), there is no denying that Drupal, now in avatar 5.1, is spreading its wings across the Web rather swiftly. We travel down memory lane with its founder and creator Dries Buytaert to the days of drop.org, and travel forth with him through its evolution into the popular Drupal.
It was an extremely fun interview and as we progressed good memories came roaring right back. From the early days when Drupal was nothing more than an internal message board, to the first real Drupal conference in 2005.

De Morgen interview
On March 15, Flemish newspaper De Morgen published an article about the fact that Drupal is being used by various candidates in the 2008 race for the US presidency.
While that is great information to share, the article is overly sensational, focuses too much on me rather than on the Drupal community, and comes with the seemingly obligatory Bill Gates reference. Sigh!
Credit should be given where credit is due: Drupal's successes should be attributed to the Drupal community, of which I am just one part.
