Why Use Drupal? - Presentation and Panel Q&A

The Park Research Center (map)

Selected By: Sheena

Looking for a web publishing platform or content management system? Drowning in a sea of confusing opinions about the many different open-source and fee-based CMS programs across the Internet?

Are you considering Drupal?

Julia Kulla-Mader will be presenting about the key factors to consider when deciding whether or not to develop your website in Drupal. Drupal is an amazing platform but might not be the right solution for every web development project.

We'll explore some scenarios where Drupal is an ideal solution and others where it might be a less than perfect fit.

Key questions include:

* What are some of the advantages of using Drupal?
* When can Drupal be a painful experience?
* How to Build Drupal Sites Without Losing Your Mind

At the end of the session, participants will have a better understanding of how to evaluate the Drupal-friendliness of web development projects.

Expert Panel Q&A

Following Julia's presentation, she will be joined by fellow triDUG Drupal experts Allen Freeman, Ken Winters and Sheena Donnelly. Any question you may have regarding Drupal, ranging from Server Administration to User Interface and Design, can be answered!

    I'll be on vacation next week, so can't make the Meetup, but am encouraging my co-workers to go.

    My 'maybe' has unfortunately turned into a 'no.' I am very interested in this package, so will definitely have to catch up with the group the next time.

    Hi All,

    I was just informed that parking might be tight for the building we are having our meetup in on Wednesday. (Building #18 of the PRC [url=http://www.rtp.org/main/index.php?pid=175&sec=2](PDF Map of the PRC Campus)[/url]

    Instead of turning right, towards building #18, when you enter the PRC campus, you can turn left to find overflow parking, then it's just a short walk to our building.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
