Powering the Open Web with Drupal

The future of the open web will increasingly depend on the strength of open platforms. The power of open data and open standards is in connecting disparate information sources and effectively serving the "long tail" of individuals and smaller organizations. Drupal (http://drupal.org/) is perfectly positioned as a tool of choice.

Drupal is a popular open source content management system with a long-standing tradition of supporting open standards. From early support for both RSS feed creation as well as aggregation, to modern day efforts surrounding OpenID, OAuth and the DiSo project, Drupal remains a leader in the space and an excellent tool for building sites that participate in the open web.

In this presentation, we'll take a look at what the Drupal project is doing to participate in larger internet and power the open web.
