OSS Licensing in the Enterprise
What can you do?• Educate decision makers
– OSS vs. proprietary licensing• Work with legal, contracts• Define relationships with code
– Who owns the code?– Who owns custom code?
• Enterprise, development contractor, GPL?– Can contrib modules and patches be shared with the
community?

OSS Support in the Enterprise
• Needs to be same as proprietary– Support contracts– Defined maintenance and escalated support– Required for enterprise adoption
• Support contract vendors are critical!– Not just development contractors
• Red Hat support made Linux viable in the Enterprise

Caching Strategy
Caching Strategy
• Cache, cache, cache• Design infrastructure to cache• Create development mindset for caching• Manage content scheduling expectations
Caching Strategy
• CDN or reverse proxy• Drupal• Memory• PHP• Views• Query
Code Deployment
Code Deployments• Subversion• Git - simplifies branching and merging• Capistrano
– Deploys code from git– Compass compile CSS– Environmental settings– Script other tasks– Unit tests– Patches applied at deploy time– Clear Drupal cache
