The Garden of Eden. For the business community Drupal offers lots of low hanging fruit from the point of view of quick functionality and deep feature set modules. Unfortunately picking this fruit is not always easy and can typically open Pandora's box, and puff out of the garden and back into the real world of open source. Panelists will discuss initial expectations of using Drupal as a prototyping platform, in the garden of Eden, and contrast that to what actually was accomplished utilizing limited resources.

We will also look at Drupal from 3 business perspectives.

  • Running a business providing Drupal services.
  • The impact to a business of using Drupal as a CMS for your web presence.
  • The pros and cons of launching a web startup based on the Drupal platform.
