Drupal Needs a New Home

reardonsteel writes "All of the Drupal websites were offline for about two days because of a server meltdown at the organization's hosting provider. The main Drupal website is back up with a single temporary page and they've announced a fund-raising drive to raise US$3000 for a new server to be hosted at the Open Source Lab at Oregon State University's server farm. Drupal is the leading open-source (written in PHP) content management system and is used to power tens of thousands of websites, blogs, community sites, etc." At this point, all they need is an actual server, too: the OSL has agreed to provide rack space, bandwidth, power, backup facilities and support.

    "Seriously, I have never heard of Drupal until I saw this article. It may be useful software, very useful, but who knows?"
    This is Slashdot not CNN. It is assumed that if you do not know what a program is you would do a Google on it or at least click the link.
