Josh Koenig
Josh is a founding partner at Chapter Three, an expert Drupal consultancy based in San Francisco California. He has been active with the Drupal community since 2003 — that's Drupal 4.2, for those keeping track — and was the founder of the Drupal Dojo. As CTO of Chapter Three, he specializes in infrastructure, architecture, scalability, and high-performance engineering.
This summer, Chapter Three launched Pantheon, an open-source effort to develop scalable, stable and secure infrastructure for the next generation of Drupal websites using Cloud Computing techniques. The first Pantheon initiative, Project Mercury, implemented an optimized hosting stack built for speed, and benchmarked at over 2000 pages per second. Additional Pantheon projects are underway to deliver on-demand Continuous Integration testing services, Apache Solr search, high-availability MySQL, and to integrate with the Aegir deployment system.
After six years of watching Drupal grow and mature as a community and as software, Josh sees another perfect storm brewing in 2010, with Drupal at the center of the cloud. He is excited to participate in bringing Drupal to the enterprise level and in returning the best of best-practices back to the Drupal.
