While I was at Acquia this summer I wrote a number of blog posts for Acquia. Check them out below.

Drupal Commons: Then and Now

A comparison of Acquia Commons at the beginning of the summer when I joined Acquia to the end of last summer when Commons was released and I wrote an analysis of it for Mediacurrent.

Status Streams in Commons

A sneak peak and overview of the status updates / activity stream features I developed that have become the centerpiece of Commons 2.0.

BrowserID: from announcement to Drupal module in under 24 hours

A discussion of how I wrote the BrowserID module for Drupal in under 24 hours since Mozilla announced the BrowserID initiative. This kind of effort can only happen in a large open-source community like Drupal's.

Commons 2.0 and Contributing to the Drupal Community

Throughout my time at Acquia, I made sure that I could contribute nearly everything I developed back to the Drupal community. As a result, any Drupal website in the world can now use status update and activity stream technology similar to the features that made Facebook so popular.

Today I published a blog post on my Mediacurrent blog analyzing the new social business Drupal distribution from Acquia called Drupal Commons. The post appeared on Drupal Planet. Head over there to get the full scoop.
