- Title: The Drupal Content Management System
Presenter: John Sechrest
Time: Saturday, November 5th, 1:00 PM
Place: EWEB Board Room, 500 E. 4th Ave.
As you work on activities and businesses, the website that you have needs to mirror/reflect the ongoing activity of the group. The more that the website is a model for the activity, the more effective the web site will be.
Over the last 4 years there has been an explosion of Content Management Systems (CMS) for web sites. A Content Management System allows groups of people to use web pages to edit and manage a web site. There are dozens and dozens of different types of CMS packages. Enough to generate websites that compare them like:

Over the last six months, several sites have needed help with web services. This talk will go over several of the features that make a good content management system and will talk about some of the ways that Drupal can be extended.
Drupal is the CMS that currently runs the Corvallis LUG website at

After the talk, we will adjourn to the Steelhead Brewery for drinks and discussion.
