drupalib A place for library drupallers to hang out

(Posted on behalf of Louise Gruenberg, Information Technology & Telecommunications Services, ALA)

The American Library Association (ALA) is seeking a vendor to handle the migration of http://www.ala.org, which includes 11 division subsites, a number of online publications, and their site for the public (I Love Libraries http://www.ilovelibraries.org) to a new content management system. Proposals are due February 15, 2010.

This is still a while off but I thought I'd put out an initial request before the holidays officially begin. It's a request for ideas and suggestions for the meeting of the LITA Drupal4Lib Interest Group at the 2009 ALA Conference in Chicago.

Feel free to leave comments either here or on the LITA Blog at: http://tinyurl.com/Drupal4LibALAchicago

more after the jump...

Okay, we'll be meeting for our Drupal4lib BoF on Sun. (6/29, 3:30p-5:00p) -- in the LITA Bloggers Room (till they chase us out).

This will be an informal get-together of people to talk about how they've implemented Drupal or how they'd like to implement Drupal. Whether you're a newbie or pro is fine. Everyone is welcome. I'll see if I can dig up a projector so people can do brief presentations of their projects.

Please leave comments and suggestions.

For our Drupal4lib BoF, it looks like Sunday 6/29, sometime in the afternoon is the most popular time. Aaron's schedule of "Afternoon with LITA" was pretty helpful: Top Tech Trends (1:30-3:00), LITA Awards (3:00-4:00), and LITA President's program (4:00-5:30).

[Personally, I'm most interested in the Top Tech Trends, so -- again personally -- I'd be okay with anything after around 3pm. ]

As a way to nail down the time, I set up a Doodle poll so that people can specify their preference(s):

Location tentatively is in the LITA's Blogger Room. We could go out for dinner afterwards...

In any case, if you've got any comments, feel free to reply to me or leave them here.
