Open Source in the Enterprise

- 4. SU research = 2,000 faculty, 5,000 projects, $1B/yr
- 5. What Stanford gains from Drupal ● state-of-the art web publishing ● innovation, flexibility ● freedom to pursue our own solutions ● security ● community
- 6. What Stanford gives back ● code ● money ● camps ● (not enough)
- 8. Professional Services 100s of Drupal companies, a handful of amazing ones Creating consonance between outsourcing and insourcing strategies

Editor's Notes
- #4: Drupal is a good fit for Stanford “Die luft der freiheit weht”
- #5: Stanford in numbers That’s a lot of projects -- actually that figure only represents “sponsored” projects This environment creates lots of websites
- #6: Our Stanford Sites platform hosts over 1,000 websites It runs on a stack of about ~100 modules but we only had to make a dozen or so ourselves “many eyes tame complexity” also helps with security threats
- #8: There is an insular local Drupal community at Stanford, but we interact with the global Drupal community Shops that compete for business have individuals that are friends and colleagues; Everyone comes together for DrupalCon
- #9: We can’t handle it all ourselves, BUT Drupal companies exist!
- #13: This book should be considered required reading for companies that are delving into open source Written 15 years ago, but still extremely pertinent today
