ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Our 6pm (US EDT) talk on Thursday June 11 will be Sean Schroeder speaking on "Mura CMS: What's in it for me?".

TOPIC DESCRIPTION:

We'll provide an overview of the open source Mura CMS and show how to leverage Mura's built in functionality to quickly build your site and handoff site content management tasks to other stakeholders, allowing you to customize your site by extending Mura or by integrating your existing CFML applications. More on Mura (formerly named Sava) at http://sava.riaforge.....

SPEAKER:

Sean Schroeder/Blue River Partner/Mura Product Manager

After starting his own Internet services company six years ago (Studio Squared Inc.) with Blue River's Matt Levine, award-winning designer Sean Schroeder joined Blue River with a unique focus on solid design principles applied to the user experience. In collaboration with Matt, Sean is the founder and developer of Mura CMS, Blue River’s popular open source content management system.

RECORDING: As always, the meeting will be recorded, and the recording URL will be posted after the meeting at http://recordings.col....

PODCAST/DOWNLOADABLE RECORDINGS:
We will attempt to make this meeting available as a downloadable recording, which will be listed on the recordings page within a few days of the meeting.

LOGGING IN: When you login to the Connect room (the experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup link above) to view the meeting, PLEASE USE THE "LOGIN AS GUEST" option, and USE YOUR NAME, but do NOT attempt to use your meetup.com username/password. The login screen presented there has no connection to meetup.com. And if you have a real Connect account, don't use that either. Just sign in as a guest. It's just not worthwhile try to add those who have real accounts to the participant list for each meeting. You have no fewer features as a guest as than you would if logging in with your own Connect account. Thanks.

RSVP, but only if coming: We appreciate folks RSVPing if they plan to come (using the link on this email or at the meetup site), though it's not mandatory and it's not a commitment. BTW, no need to RSVP if you can't make it nor even explain why you can't. With nearly 1,500 members, there's really no reason to explain your absence. :-)

FEEDBACK/MEETING DISCUSSION: We would appreciate your sharing your feedback after the meeting (via the follow-up email sent to members, or via a link on the site). Meetup.com also now offers a meeting-specific discussion area, available on each meeting event page, in addition to the feedback feature. Please feel free to have discussions there about the meeting's topic.

ADD THIS TO YOUR CALENDAR: If you would like to easily add this event to your own personal calendar, please note that the page for the event offers a link (on the right) saying, "Add this meeting to your calendar", which offers links to get calendar downloads for Outlook, iCal, Google, and Yahoo calendars.

    I had audio problems although it seems it was on my end. I think Firefox was trying to update. Mura CMS is of particular interest to me because I am looking to use it for mu church's web site in the very near future. I am happy that I will be able to go back and listen to the recording again for the parts I missed. Sean was a very good speaker and answered my questions.

    Subject was good, presentation just OK. I was not able to stay for all the questions. Had lots of audio drop-out problems. Hard to follow at times. I will listen to the recording when I have a chance. Thanks, Greg Smith

    I missed the live presentation and watched the recorded one. Top annoyance was audio. It cut out often on playback, volume kept fading so I had to keep cranking the level up, then he repeatedly would cough at an iritatingly loud level right into the mic. I never found a consistant, comfortable listening level. I will take a wild guess here that he was using a built in monitor mic instead of external. A little coaching on good mic technique combined with not dismissing the people pointing out audio problems would probably have helped make the presentation more professional and engaging. Otherwise the presentation seemed poorly planned, organized and delivered. It was drolling on at a pace that led to me giving up on it about 15 minutes in. Sorry. It may be a great product. The presentation of it did not inspire me to listen further.
