ABOUT ME

3. Drupal Distros

5. Distributions allow people to create ready-made
downloadable packages with their own focus
and vision. This will enable Drupal to reach out
to both new and different markets.
Dries Buytaert, 2006

7. If we want Drupal to be relevant longer term,
one of the things we need to do is
"make Drupal distributions work"
Dries Buytaert, 2010
