I'll be attending CMS Expo
Hi Michelle,
Yes, I'll be attending the CMS Expo in Chicago. I, too, am interested in getting the most out of this conference.
Our company will be mirgrating its website to a CMS (in stages). Our first project is to create a new associates' site (login required), then migrate our existing users' site (again, login required), then finally migrate our main website to the CMS. We're hoping to use the first two projects as a great way to get familiar with the new CMS (simpler sites) before converting the main site.
Users' site: http://users.flow3d.com/ (50 - 100 pages; secure login; download software updates possibly using Amazon's S3)
Main site: http://www.flow3d.com/ (around 1000 pages; public site)
Future associates' site (due July 2011): (30 pages; login required; possibly different levels of access/editing capabilities).
My research to date suggests that Drupal 7 or Joomla! 1.6 may be good solutions for us. I have a demo site set up on my notebook for Drupal 7 & I'm using the CloudAccess.net Joomla! demo (v 1.5 until 1.6 is available at CloudAccess.net/soon).
Hope to see you there,
Kathy
