It happened several weeks ago, and the official announcement went out yesterday Wednesday, so I figured it's time to blog it: pingVision is an Acquia Platinum Partner, offering IA/TA, web design, development, deployment, performance tuning and consulting services for sites built using Acquia Drupal^*.

Acquia truly escalated the Drupal world when it came out with its commercially supported distribution of Drupal. Nothing is lost. It's all gain. Because Acquia Drupal is still Drupal, still free, still licensed under the GPL. And it's co-founded by Drupal creator Dries Buytaert, meaning it's not at all likely to go off on its own fork. (Dries not only wouldn't want to, it wouldn't make business sense in the open source ecosystem.)

Check out the community modules included in Acquia Drupal:

And we haven't even officially launched the site yet!

Liza at BlogSheroes says:

The new BlogHer site is up. It was fantastically conceived by BlogHer founding mama Lisa Stone and truly knocked out of the park in development and design by Laura Scott of PingV.

She adds:

Blogher is doing a bang-up job at being the preeminent women bloggers metanetwork on the web.

Her own network, built on Drupal-powered CivicSpace, also promotes women's voices.

Jason at Google's Blogger Buzz takes note:

BlogHer, the fine folks behind the conference of the same name, now have a community site.

(Okay, it's just a mention. But it is Google.)
