What is a Distribution ?
A unique combination of modules, themes, & configuration... aimed at a
specific business problem.
“ ”
Distributions are full copies of Drupal that include Drupal Core, along with additional so!ware such as themes, modules, libraries, and installation profiles. There are two main types of Drupal distributions:

Open Atrium is a collaboration platform designed to help organizations manage their
communications, teams, and knowledge.
As a flexible, open source solution, Atrium is not a single, standalone “solution,” but a platform
that can be used to create an intranet, web portal, social forum, or project management
tool, or a combination of these.

OpenPublic 1.0
But, why talk about “1.0” now?
We’ve built some very big public sector sites and platforms with OpenPublic now.
It works.
Admittedly, maybe we should call it 2.0.
Our Original Goals• Build an OpenSource CMS for the Public Sector, using
what we learned from publishing (and OpenPublish on Drupal 6)
• Try and help make it easier to meet new OpenGov and transparency standards
• Make the best possible tool for building a site (Accessibility, Security… eventually Responsive)
• Create a concrete point to talk about best practices in the community
Problems We’ve Encountered• Di"icult for contributors to create and share
functionality among di!erent sites
• More optional features: multi-site and platforms mean more features are optional, even within a codebase
• Need to make it easier for implementers to stay aligned with OpenPublic, extend it, and contribute back
New 1.0 Goals• 80% Site < 20% E"ort
• Easier Platform builds
• Be able to share “ideas”
• Instant Test Drives
”“ We need to use Apps to break up
OpenPublic into very modular pieces
We want to be able to have the apps add
functionality to other things, and let people
control where they add it.

We want apps to be able to add their functionality to stu" in the site, like…
• adding mapping features to every content type
• adding SOLR searching and filtering to content types
• adding social media sharing to select custom content types
We need a new way to use features for new work.
