Yesterday, September 14th, Firefox announced its 1.0 Preview Release. To celebrate that and to make the most out of the momentum Firefox has gained the last months, a new initiative was launched: Spread Firefox. Drupal users will immediately see that this initiative is built on top of Drupal. In fact is is built on top of CivicSpace, a distribution and service built with Drupal software and aimed at grassroots campaigning on internet.

Spread Firefox already has 1300+ registered users (according to the numbers in the user lists) and has received a lot of media attention the past few days. So this might turn out to be another example of Drupal's capability to serve all sorts of sites and communities. But also as a great example of how well CivicSpace is suited for grassroots campaigning.

Spread Firefox has one of Drupal's unique features: Drupal's distributed authentication. This means you can log in with your drupal ID on Spread Firefox and that people from Spread Firefox can use their ID to log on to Drupal.org or any other Drupal site with this feature.
