[Webpub] 9/25 meeting: Drupal Intro and Experiences

[Lisa C. Mayer]

Hello webpubbers!

Hope you are enjoying your summer.  We've got a fun topic for our
September meeting, hope you can attend!

----------------------------------------
Topic:  Drupal Intro and Experiences
When:  Thursday, September 25  Noon to 1pm
Where: N42 Demo Center

Many of you have been hearing of "Drupal", an open source content
management system that has gained a certain fan base at MIT.  What is
Drupal?  What makes it so popular?  Come find out!

Former MIT colleague Susan MacPhee returns to campus  to give us
an overview presentation of Drupal. Susan's colleagues from
CommonPlaces, experienced in building a number of Drupal sites, will
be on hand answer technical questions that arise.

Ann-Patrice Hickey from ISDA will also speak on behalf of the IS&T
team which is building their website in Drupal.  She'll talk about the
selection process they went through when looking for a CMS, why they
ended up with Drupal, and what steps they are taking to move forward
into development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I look forward to seeing you on the 25th.

Until then,
LIsa
