The Drupal content management platform powers the web presences of the Prime Minister, the State Library of Victoria, McDonald's Australia, Taronga Zoo and a number of Australian Broadcasting Corporation sites including Digmusic, ABCcountry, Pool and Hungrybeast, to name but a few.

Three years in the making, Drupal 7 was released late yesterday.

In 2007 we made the decision to switch to Drupal from our own collection of in-house LAMP based web content management modules and we've not looked back.  Whilst we've been active members of the Australian Linux and Open Source community for over five years, we are still relatively recent immigrants to the Drupal community.

Around this time last year we were contacted by Whitley College to provide a quote for implementing their new website. They were evaluating whether to go with Joomla or Drupal.  But it wasn't until early October 2009 that we were engaged to proceed with the project.
