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!
App Sprint Austin - Success
Erik:
We had our first Austin Apps sprint last week and got quite a bit done. We had 12 people from Phase2 Technology, LevelTen, Four Kitchens, Mediacurrent and Pantheon all had people at the sprint. Thanks to Four Kitchens for helping us provide a space for the Sprint.
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.
Apps Module Sprint: Drupal Firms Head to Austin this Friday
Karen:
Phase2, Level Ten, 4Kitchens, and others come together to improve the Apps and Appserver modules this Friday.
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.

City's OpenPublic Site Prioritizes Info Access for Citizens
Karen:
In the Town of Lake Clarke Shores, Florida, citizens no longer have to wait to access valuable information about their town hall meetings, thanks to a new web site powered by OpenPublic and built by the team at Big Couch Media Group. Seeing a need for not only a site makeover but an overhaul of the tools that community members needed most, John Studdard and the Big Couch team put OpenPublic to the test, utilizing the responsive design theme and maximizing the available tools for citizen engagement, while also building new functionality for the platform. I sat down with John this week to hear more about the build.
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?"

Responding to Citizens with OpenPublic
Shawn:
As Luke Wroblewski puts it, "Mobile is Exploding". As smartphone sales surpass PCs and more and more people are doing their casual surfing from the couch or the line in the grocery store, everyone is talking about how to meet mobile user's needs. Moreover, an increasing number of users are using smartphones or tablets as their only personal computer. We think that for the public sector, especially for any organization that wants to provide equal access to everyone, this means that you need a strategy for reaching these devices.
