Your #1 Question About Products: Answered!
Danielle:
It's inevitable. Sure as the Druplicon is blue, my job as Community Manager means that I'll be fielding this question almost daily: "So...when can we expect the next release of Open___?"
Envisioning an Open Source Product Marketplace: Could it Work?
Karen:
What I've learned in 18 months of Drupal product management is this: monetization in open source communities is prickly. Monetization of products in Drupal is scary -- done right, it could build a vibrant economy around the open source software we know and love, making it stronger while people make a living. Done wrong, and it could alienate the community, deprecate innovation, and ultimately harm the open source project.

Following up on New Year's Resolutions at Phase2
Danielle:
Well, it's been a few weeks since the 1st of the year, so of course most of us are either dreading or hoping for the question: "How are you doing with your New Year's resolution?" Today, I'm excited to report on one of mine!
Phase2 Distros & Apps now on Pantheon
Frank:
Having spent an amazing few days in Austin for the Apps Sprint we came away with some even better news than expected. After a few joint development sessions with the great folks of [Pantheon] we are thrilled to announce that OpenPublic, OpenPublish and OpenAtrium are now available on the Pantheon platform via a one-click install from your Pantheon dashboard.
Open Atrium 1.2 Security Release
Patrick:
Just a small but important release, security release for Date (SA-CONTRIB-2012-004), and multiple community patches!
Digging into Module Maintenance
Danielle:
It's been about three months since I joined Phase2 as Community Manager, and I have really appreciated getting to know the needs of the community around Phase2's products and contributed modules. Thank you so much to those of you who have offered your honest -- and at times colorful! -- feedback. Truly, this is how we get better, move forward, and work together. In my last post, I talked about how we planned to respond to the community and about our goal to communicate more about our module contributions and product work. So I'm here to fulfill that promise.

Just in time for the holidays is an Open Atrium security and maintenance release! With security updates for views, a massive performance update for strongarm (page load times cut in half in some cases), and bug fixes in the Atrium features. Making Open Atrium faster, stronger, and more secure.
Hello Drupal! Responding to the Community at Phase2
Danielle:
There's nothing like filling a brand new role in an organization. Sure there are the new challenges of uncharted territory, and the opportunity to build a new area of expertise in the company, but the best part is everyone at the office asking "so what do you DO here, again?"

A Code-Free Explanation of Drupal Distributions
Karen:
I'm reading a book on financial modeling, where the author says, "if you can model it, you can understand it." Try to move past what a dork I am for reading that book, and I'll explain. Basically, if you can set up the pieces of a business into something measurable and tangible, the valuable pieces become clear. I think a similar concept applies to systems like Drupal: "if you can understand it, you can build on it." Or another way: broad adoption of a concept requires that someone besides developers understand it.
