What is Drupal ?
*anyone is freely licenced to use, copy, study, and change the software in any way, and the source code is openly shared so that people are encouraged to voluntarily improve the design of the software
Drupal is a free and open-source* content-management system written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License
Drupal Community
What is a community ?
Drupal Community
It’s really the Drupal community and not so much the software that makes the Drupal project what it is. So fostering the Drupal community is actually more important than just managing the code base.
