My first taste of Drupal was the 4.6 version in 2006. I very clearly remember running into the flexinode module and thinking “OMG, custom content types! Woo! That’s exactly what I want in a CMS!” Haven’t looked back since.
Below are the slides that Dries used to present the State of Drupal at Drupalcon ‘09. Yeah, it’s from 5 months ago, but I just ran into it and it was entertaining, so I’m sharing it here.
If you’d rather read about the State of Drupal, here’s a writeup from Lullabot of Dries’ talk.
Watching the slideshow is entertaining, even without sound or the actual text for reference. It very clearly shows the rapid evolution of Drupal and the Drupal community.
