2008: The Year of the Platform

Now that 2008 has officially arrived, we are eagerly pulling all our existing sites consolidated onto our platform infrastructure, freeing ourselves from (some of) the nightmares of ongoing maintenance and security updates, while we ramp up some new development projects for this year.

Meantime, I've been having some interesting conversations with others in the local drupal community, and eagerly watching the latest developments from a couple of projects related to the Anarres Drupal Platform: AutoPilot and HostMaster 2.

Anarres 2.0: Re-launching our public presence

We have been working hard over the last few weeks and months to gather together a wealth of existing sites, develop a solid infrastructure, and build a solid foundation on which to base what I've come to think of as Anarres 2.0.

Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely skeptical of the actual meaning of the 2.0-style buzzwords, but in some very practical ways (read: from my perspective as a developer and worker-owner), it seems rather apt.
