Brian Behlendorf on Drupal at the World Economic Forum

Brian Behlendorf has been a long-time contribute to open source projects, and is probably best known for being a primary developer of the Apache Web server. He's been on the Board of Directors for Mozilla and worked with the White House as an advisor on open source technologies. He's currently the CTO of the World Economic Forum, and he talks about the process of using Acquia's Drupal Commons distribution for a private community website as well as how they're using Drupal on their frontward-facing World Economic Forum website.

Behlendorf also has a lot of really awesome insights into what it takes to create a successful open source project and community, and he evaluates how Drupal is doing on all the different levels that he was using to evaluate Drupal and the health of it's ecosystem. He also talks a bit about where Drupal could use some improvement, which is around more communication and collaboration for the many modules that appear to be doing the same thing, but don't have stable releases.

Finally, he talks about the prospects of spreading open source culture into the World Economic Forum community and how Drupal is being used to help serve the mission of the WEF.
