Acquia, the popularizer of Drupal, the open source content management system,
has gotten a $15 million D round, its largest yet, bringing total outside
investment to $38.5 million.
It's supposed to use the money to expand internationally, particularly in
Europe. It claims it's seeing rapid growth with revenues up 225%
year-over-year and its customer base tripling to more than 1,500 in eight
months.
Tenaya Capital is a new investor, which joined existing backers Northbridge
and Sigma Partners in the infusion. Tenaya gets a board seat.
Acquia was started by Drupal creator Dries Buytaert and Jay Batson in 2008,
and currently provides a managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud and a
developer cloud as well as customer configurations, tools, consulting and
subscription-based support and given that Drupal can be cranky, users can
probably use it.

Open Source Journal
It is one thing to use open source software and evangelize its capabilities
to a marketplace. It is quite another to actually attempt to contribute to
that software.
I've read all over the internet that 1 in 100 contribute, or some
implementation of The Drake Equation represents the number of active users
contributing to an open source project. However, in trying to figure out what

to figure out how many people actually use an open source product.
Regardless, Orchestra is beginning ... (more)
