The news had Twitter abuzz yesterday. The official White House site has migrated from a proprietary software to open source Drupal.

"We now have a technology platform to get more and more voices on the site," White House new media director Macon Phillips told The Associated Press hours before the new site went live on Saturday. "This is state-of-the-art technology and the government is a participant in it....

"We want to improve the tools used by thousands of people who come to WhiteHouse.gov to engage with White House officials, and each other, in meaningful ways," Phillips said.

Last week we learned that our video What is Drupal? (in 57 seconds) won six Telly Awards.

It's a little embarrassing, winning six awards for one video. When we submitted our entry, we weren't quite sure what category to put it under. So we just threw it into a few different categories, hoping that it might win in one or two. We didn't expect to win an award in all categories entered. (We hoped, though!)

I wish we had more videos already posted. Soon! Meanwhile, our thanks to the Telly Awards committees who gave us the props!
