Yes, you’ve read it right, the web site for the White House is open source as of yesterday. At first, you may ask “wouldn’t that open us up to security threats?” Well, not necessarily. The technology staff that oversees Whitehouse.gov is 10-12 people give or take. Now that the site is open source, literally thousands of developers can collaborate to find holes in the security and refine the site. The new platform is based on drupal, a popular open source content management system.
