Today, five years ago, Drupal 1.0.0 was released! The following snippet is taken directly from the original announcement:

Today, drop.org announces the release of drupal 1.00 after an extensive period of testing. Drupal is a full-featured content management/discussion engine using Apache/PHP/MySQL and suitable to setup a news-driven community or portal site similar to kuro5hin.org and slashdot.org. Current features include discussion forums, web-based administration, theme support, an open submission queue, content management, a modularized design, PHP sessions, user management with access control and username/profanity/hostname filters, error logging, a public diary module, an affiliate site module, backend/headline generation (RSS/RDF) and much more.

To celebrate this event:

  • Karlijn and I made you a Druplicon cake.
  • Jamey Boje made you a nice graphic:
    Happy birthday Drupal

Yay, happy birthday!

And damnit, that cake made me hungry! :( Looks good, though. I guess they don't have candy stores there where you can buy M&M's of a single color?

Hmmm...what other CMS can say they share a birthday with a legendary figure in the history of American civil rights?

Gives a new spin to the phrase "Let Freedom Ring..."

Happy B-day to Dr. King and to Drupal!

The Joy that Drupal is expanding into is Love made visible. All the work and energy dedicated to this project is evidence of inspiration from a higher source.

This year Drupal will be implemented into many sites representing communities who are welcoming the raise in consciousness our planet is going through.

To the developers and community around this project, Namaste. Your work is weaving magic in as many ways as you can imagine.

One Love

Love, Live, Laugh

Though in kindergarten Drupal is a very bright kid!

I love the generic datamodel. Even more I love the high quality Drupal handbooks. They leave the screeming and shouting competition (like Mambo) far behind.

Go on kid, have fun!
