October 2011 Drupal Meetup: Drupal 7 takes Portland State University to School

Jennifer Hols and Shea (Webber) McKinney will be presenting a case study on how ImageX Media recently launched a new multi-site install of D7 for Portland State University. In this presentation you’ll hear some of the challenges faced in migrating over 190 department sites and the lessons learned along the way.

The session includes how to use Drupal to achieve consistent branding, allow for customizations per department, syndicate content across multiple sites, ensure robust access control, and create one-click installs to save time.

Lightning Talks

Attendees are invited to share their experience by giving a 2 to 4 minute presentation on any topic of interest to the Drupal community. If you want to use a laptop to show a website or control panel please be sure you have the necessary cable (vga) to connect to an overhead projector.

Drupal Q&A

Bring your questions on anything related to Drupal from how to do something technical in PHP to what modules are needed to implement a feature you want.
