This week Ezra Gildesgame talks about the Drupal Commons Distribution, what it is and the status of the Drupal 7 version.

Commons

• What is Drupal Commons?
  • What do you mean by “social business software solution for organizations”?
  • What features does Commons come with? (What modules provide those features?)
  • Is there a place that lists the available features?
• What’s the status of a Drupal 7 version?
• How does Acquia make money from Commons?
  • Gets folks to consider Drupal where they might not have otherwise - specific sales situations or advancing Drupal in general
  • Support
  • Network subscriptions
  • PS engagements to partners
• What are the plans for Commons after the initial release?
  • GDO
  • Network services
  • Feature additions
• How can people get involved in working on Commons?

Use Cases

• Can you name a few medium or high profile sites that are built off of Commons? (Either D6 or D7 is fine.)

How can people help?

• If people want to get involved, where do you need help right now?
• How can we try out the Drupal 7 version of Commons?
