MIT EDITORS' CLUB

*Meeting Notes from April 10, 2013*

*MIT's Drupal Cloud Service*

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.

Christopher sent out his slides for the presentation earlier today, so I'll just briefly recap a few things I found of particular note.

--The self-service system for developing an MIT web site is free and mobile-friendly.

--MIT's Drupal Cloud currently supports over 650 MIT sites, adding about a dozen new sites a week.

--The service can be used by all of us--from those with no technical expertise, to those who are Drupal experts. Way cool.

*More on Drupal*

Our own Robyn Fizz of IS&T has written several articles about the service. Here are links to those articles:
