With over 150 federal government sites powered by Drupal, the open-source CMS is more than ever meeting the needs of big sites.

GovTech.com, a top source of government IT news, reported today on the many new government sites that are confidently adopting Drupal as their CMS. Agencies have overcome concerns about security, integration, and departure from Microsoft products. They are now realizing that Drupal’s flexibility make it the most cost-effective solution.

Our own CTO, Kurt Voelker, was quoted in the article:

Our DrupalCon Booth

Many of us, here at Forum One, recently attended DrupalCon Denver, the official conference of the CMS’ open source community. We each took some time to put together our perspectives on the conference, the Drupal community, and the future of Drupal. 

Adult obesity, unemployment, lack of insurance, and air pollution are among the many health factors that affect our quality of life. And because these factors vary place to place, the health of a community depends on understanding these measures so local leaders can work to improve the health of the people in their communities.

Although we're still recovering from one, maybe two, long nights at DrupalCon Denver, we are ready to do it all over again —  at sea level this time — at the 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference in San Francisco. 

So what’s new at Forum One? I’m expecting and looking forward to getting that question a lot this week. I’ve just arrived in Denver for the big Drupal CMS conference "DrupalCon 2012." Thirteen of us from Forum One are among the 3,000 attending. I’m going to spend the week talking with clients and partners about what’s new in their worlds, and also the latest news at Forum One.

Digital communications provides a tremendous opportunity for global health. It is a vehicle for life-saving information exchange, especially for rural health workers and other remote providers. C-Hub’s mission is to break down barriers to information. In the fall of 2011, they engaged with Forum One to embark on a redesign and functional update of the project’s website
c-hubonline.org.

Educators today have a tremendous amount of data available to them about their students. The challenge: How that data can strengthen teaching and learning.

That’s where Closing the Gap: Turning Data into Action comes in. As the name suggests, this project, launched by Gartner Inc., the Consortium of School Networking (CoSN) and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), helps educators use data to take effective action.

Forum One distributed this press release today for immediate release.
