The popular open source CMS, and more recently, the environment for creating web applications - Drupal continues to attack the IT departments of the US government. The House of Representatives (lower house of Congress) chose Drupal as the preferred management system for its web representation, House.gov. Thus, the so-called "People's House" is becoming one of the largest state institutions that have switched to the open source web content management system.
This step has been done after a number of transitions to open CMS of the websites of the largest American federal government agencies, including WhiteHouse.gov and absolutely recent Energy.gov.
The House.gov platform passes to Drupal while on "moving" of the website House.gov time is required already now, and it, according to representatives of chamber, will happen in the next several months. In fact House.gov is the huge portal conducting visitors on more than 520 websites which work in the uniform domain. Each separate office has own website in the domain of the third level, with own budget and suppliers which is integrated into infrastructure of the head portal.
The administration of House.gov expects to save money with transition to Drupal as will be able to operate infrastructure independently, and members of the platform will pay suppliers of decisions for development independently.
