Sustaining the social: connecting the lives of the Drupal community

Abstract:: The Drupal content management system has a vibrant, widely distributed community that develops, documents and evangelizes the software. It supports itself through the main site, the DrupalCon conferences, user groups and an association. We discuss the use of social coding and software credit to develop the software community and social documentation to provide documentation and tutorials. We argue that there are subcommunities, using different social machines, which are linked as a concept.
