During the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, Jeff Whatcott and I sat down for a quick interview to discuss Acquia, where he is Chief Communicator, and their plans with respect to the Drupal project and Enterprise 2.0.

Jeff talks about the unique position of Acquia in relation to Drupal as an “organic open source” project: one which has its origins in pure community need and existed before Acquia was formed, rather than being created and sponsored by a commercial enterprise. (Prior to Acquia Jeff was at Allaire, which became Macromedia, which became Adobe, and was involved in the open source release of Flex).

We also discussed the Acquia business model, offering additional services to complete the Drupal ecosystem, and helping enterprise customers understand how to leverage the Drupal platform to meet specific use cases.
