Owyang: "Spencer Stuart's Greg Welch, one of the opening moderators (I just reviewed his book) when he openly admitted that power was shifting to the empowered consumers. He gave the analogy that previously marketers were used to "Bowling," where marketers could easily throw a message down the aisle and hit the pins with great confidence. Now, he eloquently described, it was more like "Pinball" where a marketer could load the message up, shoot it out, but have no idea where it will end up." - Andrew Codrington from Bookmarklet

BitNami stacks are available for popular web applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, and MediaWiki. In addition to the application itself, the stacks include the other software required to run that application. For example, a WordPress stack will include WordPress, as well as the MySQL database to manage data, Apache Web server to serve the pages, and phpMyAdmin to administer MySQL. BitNami installers are released under the Apache License 2.0. Using automated cloud computing management, BitNami offers users automated application deployments of open source server apps from Amazon EC2 servers. Starting on July 2009 BitNami also offers ready-to-run Virtual Machines (Virtual appliances) The distinct difference between installation of BitNami installers and native installs (e.g. rpms and debs on Linux) are that they are installed in a way as to prevent interference with existing software and libraries. - Andrew Codrington

"A lot of Drupal people and organizations help promote Drupal. At Acquia, we also like to help with promoting Drupal. One of the things we've been doing since the inception of Acquia, is talking to analyst firms like Gartner, Forrester, and the 451group about Drupal, and all of Drupal's successes. Almost all of that work is carried out by Acquia's marketing people, but I've been in several analyst calls myself. As a result of that work, Gartner. has included Drupal into some of its Magic Quadrant reports, and was most recently promoted to the 'Visionary' category in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace." - Andrew Codrington from Bookmarklet
