News and announcements

We're adding the first community theme to our themes collection - Platino.

Platino is a community centric theme, simple yet customizable, and appealing to community users. Although it is designed from ground up to be community based, it is an equally able theme for corporate, brochure, or personal site.

I want to run multiple sites using 1 Drupal. I want to share multiple modules, for example, Site A should run Module A1, Module A2, Module B1, where as Site B will run only Module B1.

Also I want multiple themes for all those sites, Site A to run different theme, Site B to run different theme.

And also those sites to be on different subdomains:
siteA.mysite.com
siteB.mysite.com

Is it possible, please let me know? because I'm thinking of either 2 things to use for this, either CakePHP or Drupal. Which

Thanks

I'm proud to announce the first release of Drupal-SQLite, my project that makes Drupal 6.x series work on a SQLite database. The website hosting the project (http://coolsoft.altervista.org/drupal-sqlite) is a Drupal-SQLite installation itself, thus you could test its speed and reliability by yourself.

FOR DISTRIBUTION

I'm a PhD student in public policy at UMass Boston doing research on what motivates members of free and open source software communities.

I'm looking at ways that public policy could increase the quantity and quality of contributions to free software and open source software (defined as projects with an approved open source license - http://opensource.org/).

I have a professor that says if I can provide some convincing data on how to best support free and open source software, he thinks he can get the ideas on President Obama's desk. I am conducting a survey - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=SA1BorCQ_2b9E6NSE_2bNCKavw_3d_3d and I need over 500 responses by May 1st in order to answer my key research questions.

One lucky respondent will have $100 donated to the FOSS project of their choice.

Questions about this survey can be directed to me at felicia.sullivan@umb.edu. Thanks for your input.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I want to thank my FOSS developer go-to-guys -- Dan MacNeil, Peter Bull, Stéphane Alnet, and Bill de la Vega -- for providing critical feedback on this survey.
