June Drupal Meetup (1): Architecting Australia's Government as a Service

Adam Malone from Acquia will giving a talk about:

Architecting Australia's Government as a Service:

With govCMS, the Government of Australia has made a best in breed Drupal platform available to all departments at a fraction of the cost it would take to do the same solo. By pioneering this solution, govCMS puts a stake in the ground and challenges other governments around the World to create a similar platform for their citizens.

In this session he'll be discussing:

• The process to take govCMS from an idea to a platform

• The govCMS distribution

• Lessons learned along the way

• Decisions taken to keep govCMS lean yet general

• The benefits this project brings to governments worldwide

• How you can contribute
