Web 2.0 and Drupal come to the 2007 CM Pros Summit

I had a good time at the CM Pros summit this year. My presentation went fairly well with some good feedback during and after the presentation. Honestly, I felt kind of wired doing a demonstration of a tool. I rationalize the tool demo aspect by the fact that I was displaying Web 2.0 characteristics and not just demoing a tool. The demonstration site is still running.

If you’d require some assistance with your Web 2.0 initiatives and are considering Drupal please contact me.

Here is the session details:

Drupal recently became a winner of CNet’s Webware 100 award in the publishing category. Drupal is a Free and Open Source Web Content Management software and a web application framework. It is highly used and has been included in the Google Summer of Code (SoC) project. The Google SoC reference’s Drupal as being the poster child for Web 2.0 community driven web site software. I will describe and demonstrate some of the major features of the software as well as some of the limitations. Some specific features we’ll look at are the Content Construction Kit, Views, Taxonomy, and some Content Management functions.

Drupal adheres to some good content management practices. During the discussion we will look and modify some configuration areas for the more technical savvy as well as look at the content managers and content authors interfaces. Although, a computer isn’t required if you bring you laptop you will be able to log on to the site and manage content.
