This announcement might be of interest to all people
on the list with a web site :)
On March 3-6th, in Boston, MA, DrupalCon 2008 will
take place.
Drupal ( http://drupal.org )is a content management
system used to build traditional web sites, as well as
more complex publishing platforms, social learning
environments, newspapers, portfolio applications,
blogging applications, school-specific YouTube clones,
etc. In addition to being wildly flexible, secure, and
stable, Drupal has the added benefit of being open
source.
If you are a school looking for options with expanding
your web presence, this conference could help show
some of the many options available. If your school is
already running Drupal, this conference will provide
the opportunity to meet other people using Drupal in
schools, as well as provide the opportunity to meet
many of the active developers within the Drupal
community.
I am helping to organize some of the
education-specific events: an informal meetup at
Legal's Test Kitchen on Monday, March 3, and an
Education-specific session within the DrupalCon. There
are other education-related sessions proposed, as well
as sessions of general interest to people working with
(or thinking about working with) Drupal.
If you or anyone from within your school has
questions, feel free to respond on-list, or contact me
directly.
