How tight is the security at whitehouse.gov ? People like to hack those
types of things. If it was hacked that would suck for Drupal.

My English is not that good to write a front page post about
whitehouse.gov using Drupal.
I do not think that this is a minor issue.

To be promoted to the front page someone has to write a draft and place
it in the forums.
Please see: http://drupal.org/front-page-schedule [1]
If you aren't writing it who is?
When a draft or a forum thread is complete, please provide a link to
the forum post so that it can be reviewed for promotion.
Marking as won't fix for now. This can be reopened when a draft/forum
thread is provided by those responsible for the site in question.

Without knowing exactly how the site was built noone but the developers
of the site can write the post. If you would like to see a story of this
site on the front page please locate and contact the developers of the
site.
remarking normal and won't fix. Please do not alter the status or
priority until such time as a draft of the story is ready to be promoted
to the front page. Thank you for your understanding.

That is NOT enough. Please read the linked node explaining how to get a
post on the front page of drupal.org.
Thank you.

*How to Get Your Story On the Front Page
If you have something that's really, really interesting to a lot of
visitors to drupal.org and you did a really good job of writing a post
in the forum (images, good writing, proper use of formatting to make it
readable) then you can request it to be promoted to the front page. To
do that, edit this page and schedule a time for your post and then
create a webmaster issue for your post that contains a link back to the
forum post and your rationale for having the story featured on the home
page.*
Unless they are highly relevant, the teaser should not contain widgets
or images from external sites (i.e. no "digg this" button in the
teaser). All images in the post should be added as attachments to the
webmaster issue you created and the post should be written with all
image tags using the image files hosted on drupal.org.
Please note that unless you are a member of the documentation team or a
site maintainer, you likely will not be able to use the Full HTML input
format, which is required to display images. In this case, you should
attach the images to the webmaster issue, and indicate where they should
appear by placing the image tags in the post. A site maintainer can then
activate the Full HTML input format to ensure that the images will
display before the post is promoted.

Besides-- i wouldn't be surprised if it were soon replaced with a .net
monstrosity in much the same way as recovery.gov. All it's probably
waiting for is some senator's nephew to land an absurd $18 million
dollar contract [3] to do so. :-(

That may be but it is not the responsibility of drupal.org site
maintainers to write up the showcase nodes. If the developers of the
site in question were interested in having a showcase node promoted to
the front page, they would have created one.

paid news writers on drupal.org. Someone will get it taken care of. We
all want this to go out soon, so relax.

I don't see a need to won't fix this. We want this article to happen, so
let's leave it open until someone writes it (hopefully soon) so we can
coordinate and get it promoted.

Yahoo has the story here

Just to be sure I confirmed it at
http://isthissitebuiltwithdrupal.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whitehouse.go...

I hope this doesn't follow www.recovery.gov [9] in switching to .NET.
OpenSource needs a lobby in Washington.

There is no need to rush this. The word is already out. I would
immensely prefer a well written article with contributions (if possible)
from someone from the new whitehouse.gov team, even if it takes a few
days to write.
Is someone in contact with that team?

I still think waiting is a very bad idea. If you know a world news you
need to say it as soon as possible. And I still think "whitehouse.gov
using Drupal" is absolutely enough for now. Who needs the details?

http://drupal.org/node/613688#comment-2188178
I somewhat agree with Pasqualle about this - the problem, though, is
that people will be expecting more. We can have a story that says
"White House Uses Drupal" but when visitors click that link, there's
really nothing there of value - since right now, we don't know enough
about it.
It's a shame that the developers of the whitehouse site didn't announce
it to us eariler.
So who needs the details? A lot of people. At least, they'll want
them.

This story has already been placed on the front page schedule by Amazon
for 10/27 (at least that's what I'm assuming "Major site launch in
Drupal - details to come" is referring to). I'm certainly open to
promoting the story earlier if it's ready before Tuesday, but I think we
should wait until some of the folks involved in consulting on and
building the site (who include Acquia and Phase 2) have had the
opportunity to weigh in.

I agree that creating a showcase without to be able to write the details
about the adopted modules, and other details is something probably not
desired.
I would expect a showcase on Drupal.org to be able to report such
details; differently, the article would not be different from any news
articles we can already read on other web sites.

Get over worrying about the details and put up a brief announcement.
This is the biggest acknowledgment any open source software has
received. O'Reilly has written it up
http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/10/whitehouse-switch-drupal-opensource.html
[10]
People will come to drupal.org to see if it's true.

The story without details has been already reported by many sites. To be
the last ones to report the news, and say the same things said in the
other sites doesn't help anybody.
I would then expect that people will look for a confirmation at the
White house web site, not here. In which way would Drupal.org confirm
that Whitehouse.gov is really using Drupal?

just came for confirmation and had to search to get it.

If you want to know who made the site, Oreilly had the scoop:
"prime contractor General Dynamics Information Systems, Drupal
specialists Phase 2 and Acquia, hosting provider Terremark, and
CDN-supplier Akamai.

I'm much more interested in seeing a juicy case study than getting a
repeat of short news I've already seen on 6 different RSS feeds.
It's an important story, but /important enough to be done well/ and a
short fanboy ejaculation doesn't help.
Dries [11] & Kieran are on it ... looking forward to the real scoop!

Things are moving slower than we would like. But we want to welcome
these folks to be contributors to the community, not just users, and
that's taking a little more time to work through. Shooting for later
this week now.

may be standing in the way with NDAs etc, but it's be nice to see
something about it sometime... :-)
