Hi Fellow Drupalers,
I'm working on a session for BADCAMP (http://badcamp07.org) where we will walk through some cool, popular and high performance Drupal sites. The main focus here is high-profile, big companies, high traffic. What is the biggest and highest traffic Drupal site out there?

I'm gathering additional research and so if anyone is interested please fill out the below template with as much information as possible for a couple of the top sites you know about or have developed, ideally 3 or 4 sites? Possibly some nice rare ones people don't know about? Please fill out as much information as possible. If you can't fill out any info, at least the site URL would help and I can do more research from there.

This once this research is complete, it will be put on Drupal.org as well and this will be great marketing material for the Drupal community.

You might get info about Ubuntu or similar but I know that several companies handle their traffic data as trade secret.

Yes, unfortunately this is true. Of course, I'm just trying to get as much available information as possible from as many different sources. :-) We can always take advantage of tools like Alexa, Netcraft, etc.. and I'm doing that, but the accuracy of that data is not to be depended on.
