Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue

Posted by Zonk on from the feel-the-love dept.

Robert Douglass writes "Drupal asked for help and received a major dose of it. Sun Microsystems has stepped up and donated a Sun Fire V20z server which will be the backbone of Drupal's new server architecture at the Open Source Lab. Furthermore, over $10,000 in donations were collected in a matter of a couple days (thanks to all the people who responded to the previous /. post!), plus thousands more in pledges from groups like Apress and CivicSpaceLabs... looks like the community loves Drupal!"

    Well, to counter you, the people donating to Drupal obviously aren't that bright to begin with, since they're using a CMS. Can you trust these peoples' judgement?

    You can't really say that these people were completely aware of what they were doing by donating money to something so stupid.

    It's like donating money to a group of people that are making free hats with holes in them, sure, they're free, but you can't be that bright to be giving the people making them money and access to a factory so they can make even more holey hats.

    Oh yes, of course, this PHP script is definately worth over 10 thousand dollars, of course. How silly of me.

    That money could be put to much better use than some little turd's blog, even the biggest moron should be able to see that.
