Congratulations to Dries.  Way to go buddy.

While he was still a computer science student in college, Buytaert developed Drupal, a system designed to make it easier to publish, manage, and organize content on a Web site. He opened the source code, attracting a community of developers whose contributions made Drupal into software that now powers more than 250,000 Web sites, including those of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Brothers Records (TWX), and Amnesty International. Acquia, co-founded by Buytaert, will distribute a version of Drupal that has been tested for quality and security and will charge fees for providing support and other services.
