Drupal, The Name, Our Support and Our Pride

Hello Everyone,

We have a problem, but let me start on a good note:

A couple of days ago I wrote about Drupal the community. It's the people we work with in that regard, but it is also the code base we co-develop and together that forms the Drupal open source project. It's a free as in freedom project and when communities build such things together to such great success, there's a huge sense of pride and ubuntu, bordering on loving care for each other.
