So I was perusing my Twitter news feed to find something interesting to blog about and I came across a tweet from my instructor telling us students to check out this cool article about the White House and open source and community. I was interested to see how the White House was involved in open source so I followed the link she provided.
The White House has now joined the Drupal.org community!! Corny? I know, but it's still interesting. Anyway, they actually use Drupal for the WhiteHouse.gov website. They have released the source code for modules before, but now they are working with the community on the We The People petitions system. They are hoping to release a "white label" theme that will help others reuse the code to set up their own petition systems. They have also been active in the GitHub community.
I have summarized the article, but you can check it out here. Click
How cool is that? The White House has gone nerd!
