Dave,<br><br>Let's use:<br><br>Title: Building a spatially aware content management system using open source components.<br><br>Abstract: <br><br>This short demo/talk will serve as a brief introduction to the Drupal content management system including plugins that enable geospatial awareness of data. Drupal is a web based content management system, which means it can store, index, and present information in a variety of formats such as web pages, XML, RSS, Maps, and custom reports. Drupal allows customization of look and feel and there are many themes you can download to fast track to the look you want. Drupal is used by hundreds of thousands of web sites including sites used by the US Whitehouse, Fedex, AOL, and much more.<br>
<br>Drupal comes with many features such as user and group based authentication, search, and much more. Adding some of the countless pluggable modules available for Drupal allows you to add even more functionality including custom user defined data types, location management, maps, integration with social media sites, and much more.<br>

Greetings, all,<br>
<br>
The next meeting will be on TUESDAY, the 9th of February, when Andrew<br>
Ross will talk to us about Drupal, and the work they've done to embed<br>
geospatial "stuff" in there (sorry, I can't remember what kind of<br>
"stuff" they did with it).<br>
<br>
Phil is going to book us the space, and I imagine it will be the usual<br>
Fox and Feather room, but he'll let us know if he was unable to<br>
reserve that one. See the website if you've never been there. <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ottawa_Chapter" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ottawa_Chapter</a><br>

Thanks,<br>
