*Meeting Notes from April 10, 2013*</b></div>

<div><b>*MIT's Drupal Cloud Service*</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Christopher Giles, web and database consultant at MIT Information Systems & Technology (IS&T), gave our group a great presentation on MIT's Drupal Cloud Service for building web sites. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Christopher sent out his slides for the presentation earlier today, so I'll just briefly recap a few things I found of particular note.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>--The self-service system for developing an MIT web site is free and mobile-friendly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>--MIT's Drupal Cloud currently supports over 650 MIT sites, adding about a dozen new sites a week.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>--The service can be used by all of us--from those with no technical expertise, to those who are Drupal experts. Way cool.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>*More on Drupal*</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our own Robyn Fizz of IS&T has written several articles about the service. Here are links to those articles:</div>
