    post-BOF

    Hi everybody, if you were at the BoF today, it was great meeting all of you.

    Louvre using Drupal

    At the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag we will start to use Drupal as a frontend solution for collection analysis. We use Adlib as a backend and plan to develop a module to accomplish the connection to Drupal.
