From the newsletter of DZone, actually, all their "Zones" sites are migrated to Drupal. Congrats, Drupal.

Well, for starters, we migrated to a new infrastructure based on Drupal, an incredibly powerful, open source CMS platform. Moving to Drupal was a difficult choice that has been a long time in the making, but I’m convinced that it was the right choice. The highly extensible, node-oriented architecture of Drupal combined with its intriguing api hooks and its buzzing community of contributors made this framework a compelling choice. It wasn’t even a question of whether to use PHP or Java, the choice was Drupal, itself. Mark my words, the Drupal platform has a brilliant future.

Drupal lets us power a network of connected communities, each targeted to a different segment of the developer world, with user-generated content like news, announcement, editorials, book reviews, quick tips, feature articles, videos, podcasts and more. Imagine a family of sites similar to Javalobby but covering Ruby, Eclipse, Groovy, PHP, Ajax, CSS, SQL and so on. Now connect those sites to a social bookmarking service that helps tens of thousands of developers locate fresh, interesting links every single day. There, you just got the idea of the DZone Network.
