    In my exploration of the differences between technical and business people, nothing surprised me more than this: Business people tend to think that we don't care about anything. One of their biggest complaints is that we don't share their passion for the business.

    By almost any measure, Drupal, an open source content management system/Web platform, should be a poster child for open source success.
