			<description><![CDATA[from website developer point of view i am really looking forward to the maturing of the very promising cck products around the corner, those being flexicontent in the first position, but also k2 which have gained some momentum but where various required parts are hugely missing among which the less than flexible field additions infrastructure. simply looking forward to the frustrating exercise of picking among cck:s flexicontent, k2, resources each time you boot your project. i favor flexicontent b/c its really well built and a flexible system, but also b/c it is as integrated in J as it can be, w/o being a hack look also really forward to virtuemart actually capturing its gained user base and make something good out of it by doing an overall haul of the J1.0 system, which i understand is already underway another development i believe will take place is that of the silence development of joomla usage in the developing world, like the place where i am in, Ethiopia, will gain more and more formalized and hope to see and be part of various joomla user groups be born]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I believe you will find a handful of companies providing Joomla! as a service. I also see big big changes in the Joomla! database driver world. I think Joomla! will gain major capabilities in scaling. enabling companies/people to use the framework to build out large scale multi-tenant SaaS applications. @garyjaybrooks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[JXtended is a product company only, it wouldn't be enacting such things. You would be more likely to see New Life in IT partnering/collaborating with other organisations for technical expertise to create certification "stuff". But on the point that certification will grow out of ecosystem, that's certainly my prediction, if not presumption, at least for 2010.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As I understand it, Acquia will offer certification of their particular distribution, as will no doubt be the case with others too. No one will have a "Drupal Certification" as such. Rather they will have a certification of their particular offering which by the way uses the Drupal core as its framework. Nothing wrong with this I guess but I, like Steve, suspect this subtlety will be miseed by many and whoever gets there first will become the de facto standard. Same goes for Joomla! and any number of other projects who, for financial, management for any number of other reasons, do not run a standardized certification program.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good to see Robert posting.(Glad I didn't say something different than he did! hehe!) Steve - I see Acquia in the same light as JXtended. Those are private companies, even though the members are certainly very influential in our projects. It may be tough to compete against an Acquia or a JXtended, but that means that contributing has market value. Three cheers for that since contributors are needed! If a company wants to be competitive, maybe they should contribute? I think it works perfectly. BTW - Lullabot also had a long discussion on certification on their site. I am not certain what they decided to do but they also have a heck of a good reputation in that community, again, built on contributions. I can also see firms, such as yours, in that space, Steve, with your learning program and community involvement. The trademark is an important tool for a project. Not as a gatekeeper, though, since that would impede growth. When used as a protection for the community, it's a useful tool for keeping the market open.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[With my respect to Andrew, I don't see 1.7 in 2010. I expect more and more extensions to become commercial and these developed slowly to loose market share. If it happens that 1.6 contains so many changes in the language files (as it seems), I expect commercializati on of translations as well. I expect increased market share, more out of the box solutions and more and more controversy within the community. Hopefully it will be a good year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Amy and Robert - I probably a bad example from the way you explain it. One question though - if something is done by Acquia won't it automatically be seen as "official", hard as the community tries to explain that it isn't? Thanks for the positive feedback Nicholas and David-Andrew. If 2009 was the year that hobbyists started building business, maybe 2010 will see the full flowering of Commercial GPL.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Steve - Let me share a better link from Dries on the Accreditation (http://buytaert.net/on-drupal-certification-programs). As you can see from Dries's post, the community can create certification programs, like "Acme Drupal Certification" mentioned in his post. The market will decide, not the project, as it should be. Read in his post how he uses the Trademark to ensure official certification is not suggested, but allows everyone to participate provided it's clear. From my perspective, what is making Drupal grow like a field of weeds is that Dries, and other leaders in that community, work very hard to get *out* of the way of the community and try *not* to be gatekeepers. There is room for Drupal and Joomla! and WordPress (and other free software) to continue to grow like crazy in 2010. My prediction is - those projects who know how to empower their community will grow, just like Drupal. Thanks for your post! Amy]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[With regards to point #4, "Projects become gatekeepers", I want to clarify the Drupal policy a bit. ANYBODY can prepare a Drupal certification program, but they're required to avoid naming it or marketing it as "The Official" certification program (because there isn't one, and won't be one). So we might see the "ACME Inc. Certified Drupal Module Builder" program, but we might also see the "FOOBAR Inc. Certified Drupal Module Builder" program as well, by a different company/group, and that's all fine. So to react to the title of the prediction, the Drupal community is NOT becoming a gatekeeper, and we don't want one, either. It's an open marketplace with trademark guidelines and professional etiquette to guide us all. -Robert]]></description>
