Thanks to recommendations from a couple of friends – thank you Bill and Jocelyn! – I’m assisting with prepping their site for this year’s event. Mostly finished with updating all the Speaker Bios, and I’ve added some Sponsor info as well.

Regarding the Speakers, I’m awed by the range and depth of experience represented by not only the Keynote Speakers (whose bios I haven’t yet touched), but also by the many Presentation Speakers. It’s been fun and exciting to have been given a relatively free hand with editing this already impressive material.

Joomla!

Looking into using Joomla! to convert a non-profit static-page website into one with deeper functionality for the volunteer workers and for the community being served.

So far I’ve read through some introductory screens, read up on site security and some other topics of interest, and installed XAMPP and Joomla 2.5 on my localhost server. I loaded their demo content and looked through all of that and the explanatory material.

I think this might be the way to go for us.

Next step: Back up the non-profit site, and load up a non-public branch with Joomla, do some testing, convert some pages, see how things go.
