Obama [hearts] Drupal, and we (sometimes) [heart] him

This is fantastic.

Last fall, the Obama administration said it was rebuilding WhiteHouse.gov on the Drupal platform. Shortly thereafter, White House technology directors met with Drupal developers to show off new features for the site and to discuss how they can work with developers to enhance Drupal as well.

Basically, the Whitehouse improved the Drupal source-code, and then re-released that improved code back into the public domain to improve Drupal itself.

There is a really great WhiteHouse inspired WordPress theme I’ve been meaning to use, but now it seems wrong. The next time we work on a statewide campaign, I think Drupal will be the way to go.
