Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue

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!"

either the new horsepower hasn't been put in place yet, or they need more money to buy better machines ;) (or optimise the software, duh)

or maybe it got a sudden bump of popularity somehow... can't quite think of what it might be...
