Our guest speaker is Heather James. Heather currently works for Acquia.com, the company founded by Drupal creator Dries Buytaert. Heather recently ran Ireland's DrupalCamp in Trinity College (http://www.drupalcampireland.org/).
Heather will be discussing Drupal, the open-source content management system. She will also be doing a side-by-side comparison with an a comparable system and showcasing a new KM system her company created. Finally, Heather will be demonstrating a new web tool for which you will need your laptops and DIT wifi login (please have laptops fully charged as there are very few plugs in the room).
The groupwork topic for the afternoon session will be on Content Management Systems, intranets, portals, publishing platforms, wikis, blogs, etc.
Weather: currently DIT Kevin Street is scheduled to be open on Saturday morning. Heather is taking the train from Sligo so she should be able to make it. If conditions deteriorate significantly, if the college is closed or if the trains are stopped the session will be postponed. Please check your email on Saturday morning for notifications. As of now, we're on...
