Don't know why I remember these pictures when I hear "DRUPAL".

"Jokes apart" my manager used to say this after making hilarious comedy ( no one will smile , BUT if I don't smile then I won't get proper appraisal ) வேற வழி இல்ல சிரிச்சு தான் ஆகணும் . Now I started using , "Jokes Apart" Lets swim into DRUPAL.

Dries Buytaert is the founder of Drupal.

Symbol of Drupal & Intro,

Drupal is content management software (CMS).
It accommodates unlimited content types and simple tools to create, edit, retrieve and present this content to end users.
It's used to make many of the websites and applications you use every day.
Its tools help you build the versatile, structured content that dynamic web experiences need.
The Drupal project is open source software.
It's distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
There are no licensing fees, ever. Drupal will always be free.
