Bryght - Hosted Web 2.0 sites for everybody

Keywords: content management, blogs, rss

Abstract

Bryght is a hosted service for Web 2.0 sites based on the open source Drupal system. Drupal is the best platform for creating Web 2.0 sites (sites with 2 way multimedia conversations) and Web 2.0 applications and for aggregating and generating RSS and other standard formats.

This session will discuss Bryght and Drupal's advantages over other systems and how end users, resellers and those who want lots of sites can best use Bryght, what we call "mass hosting".

Finally, the joys and pains of running an open source company will be discussed.
