Dave Cohn's "Drupal Nation"

Profile picture

My friend and sometime colleague Dave Cohn (of Spot.us fame) has posted the story that was his final Masters project at the Columbia School of Journalism. Entitled Drupal Nation, it traces the early roots of Drupal in left-wing US politics via DeanSpace and CivicSpace, which is really where my engagement (and the essence of Chapter Three) comes from.

Though the piece is dated -- Cohn wrote is just after Drupal 5.0 was released -- it's an interesting read for those interested in the intricate and delightfully ideosyncratic early history of Drupal's rise within the US non-profit and political marketplaces.
