T. Kim Nguyen: Rolling out Plone to a campus: a grass-roots effort
In this session I'll describe how we were able to convince an entire campus to use Plone, one early adopter at a time, until we began to loom large on everyone's radar; how we got the ball rolling with little to no funding; how we suddenly got a lot more funding and what sorts of issues that came with; how we have pieced together a scaleable process for deploying Plone for 400+ sites; what skills and roles we have on our team; the server and software configuration we have used; skin and other products we developed; issues and solutions for the problems we encountered; management processes required to keep everyone on the same page. Our deployment is a work in progress but we have come so far in just one year!
