Suggested topics

Nate Aune

I would like to suggest a discussion of open source content management systems, with a particular focus on planning an OSS CMS booth at the upcoming Gilbane conference where members from the various OSS CMS communities can showcase their CMS. I'm thinking it would be good to have representatives from Wyona, Drupal, Joomla and Plone.

Anthony Wilson

OSS CMS is a great topic. I would also like to suggest we discuss the impact of social networking and user generated content on the content management space. People are starting bring this up more often.

Jon Garfunkel

I can report on my impressions of the MediaGiraffe conference at UMass-Amherst. There were some interesting things for the CM community to consider.

David Pearson

I would like us to decide on some Roundtables for September and October that would be demonstrations of what we might do at the Summit.

Suggestions by others (apologies for forgetting names)

* Managing Multiple Language Versions of Sites. (How to present language choices, identify in Alt Text and how to ensure content is consistent with English site etc.)

* Managing multiple content requests (Content project management..ideas for how to manage, prioritize and complete requests)
