Dutch political party Groenlinks on Drupal
Recently I saw that the Groenlinks.nl site is running Drupal. Grenlinks (greenleft, (wiki-entry) is a left winged political party in the Netherlands. GroenLinks is the party behind the Motie Vendrk (Dutch) that states that if an Open Source en proprietary product are equally good, the government has to choose the Open Source product.(Yes, we have to make Open Source products /worse/ to get picked above proprietary software By itself, the site GroenLinks is not big and does not need to be mentioned here for running Drupal. However, it is a good sign. A good sign since most semi-public bodies in the Netherlands choose local CMS-es up to now. There is not a country in the world with so many CMS-es as the Netherlands (Trideon, Smartsite, Greenvalley, MMBase etc). "Koop Nederlandse Waar" ("Buy Dutch Products") seems to be the mantra. While Content Management problems are the same all over the world, with I18N and RTL as a bonus. So it is good to see that GroenLinks is choosing for a global answer for addressing a local problem, Drupal as the CMS of choice! And from what I see in the market, this is only the start. A lot more Dutch sites need to be upgraded, exciting times ahead and an ideal place for the next DrupalCon? Congratulations to OneShoe btw!

En zolang de opdrachtgever niet begrijpt wat toekomstvastheid is, standaarden zijn en de wensen van zijn gebruikers niet kent of respecteert, komt zo'n paarse slip er nog mee weg ook. Let wel, ik heb perse niets tegen flash. Maar gebruik het dus goed. En een van de mooiere manieren is om als webserver te kijken of de gebruiker flash heeft en indien niet vergelijkbare functionaliteit te geven middels een ander medium. De eerste stap is dus detectie, de tweede alternatieven aanbieden. www.opgelicht.nl is in deze eerste fase. Wel detecteren of ik als iPhone gebruiker flash heb (niet dus) maar daarna niet een alternatief aanbieden. Tenzij je een niets zeggende foutpagina als alternatief ziet. 404, webmaster not found.
