3 BoFs on University sites, 5 BoFs about science
Drupalcon Chicago has been an interesting moment for research/science/academia stuff. I count several BoFs and there seems to be three different groups emerging. One is of course about education, but I"m hoping this will be discussed in the higher education group. A Second topic deals with the websites of universities. The third topic deals with the research itself. I"ll just quickly list the name of the BoFs.

Read moreDrupal cxo on training versus educating

I'm looking forward to your opinion about this reflection.
Read moreDrupal as a vehicle for federated identity/content
I'd like to get some feedback on a few ideas for federating identity in the research and education spheres and Drupal's role in it. On the surface, Drupal should be the ideal platform with RDF and OpenID in core but I haven't seen the notion of federation discussed much. I think this could be of interest to the curriculum and training community who often have to deal with the consequences of silos.
Here's my outline of how I think the education and academic communities could benefit from federation http://researchity.net/2010/07/08/federated-academic-identity.
Read moreModules/Tools for Academics
I was just wondering if we could get a working list of tools and modules that would be useful to academics in general.
I am working on a website for the academics that work with my non-profit, and have been trying to find and use tools in a useful way to them (sometimes more successful than others)
Read moreDrupal 7 in a fresh university, Academic assistance is needed
Hi all
I and my friend are working for a fresh middle sized university in Cambodia. Our work is directly related to administering the university. After about 1 year research, we decided to use Drupal 7 for intranet and internet applications of entire university including student application and registration process, library, faculty, department, course, exam managing, room managing, documentation and file sharing etc. We will try to supply all community software needs via Drupal by using existing modules and writing tones of other codes and we started to build it.
Biblio Collections
Lets get some definite ideas about biblio collections.. a way to create personalized bibliographic information.
Biblio Collections
Biblio is a drupal module which stores scholarly publication information. Biblio provides css (cascading stylesheets) for popular citation formats (e.g., APA, IEEE, etc.).
Biblio requires each citation be assigned a content type (e.g., journal article, book, etc.)
Biblio Collections would provide the ability to conveniently group publications. This document serves as the specifications of HOW biblio collections will be implemented.
