I took a seminar a long time ago examining how groups become movements and how movements affect social change. There are several criteria that make for the successful transition from fad to social phenom. One of them focuses on how people gather - to work, to play and to plan.

Thousands of people around the globe gathered on January 7th to celebrate the launch of Drupal 7. The NYC party was a blast. We talked shop, ate, drank, and made lots of plans. Some of the other criteria for successful movements are leadership and cohesion. I think those bases are covered pretty well too.

The revolution will not be televised. It's on the web.

Go Drupal 7. Keep partying.

Much thanks to my new friend Dean Meyers for the pic and Jacob Redding for all the great blueness.

Everyone say hi to Dries.
