House Websites Could Move to Open-Source Platform

The House is soliciting bids on an open-source content management platform that would give operators of its 520 websites more flexibility.

Drupal is now the "preferred web hosting environment for the House," according to the vendor source solicitation document released by the Office of the House Chief Administrative Officer. The incoming House freshman's sites are all hosted on the Drupal platform, but other members have the option of making the switch.
