Drupal Downunder 2012
Drupal is a web based content management system that is typcially used for larger web based publishing projects. At CASE we have used it to produce an Indigenous Sacred Sites Register for member organisation Dharriwaa Elders Group.
CASE President Darrell Burkey attended Drupal Downunder 2012 in Melbourne which gave him the opportunity to learn from the experts.
If you want to know what makes Drupal special just listen to what the three key note speakers had to say:
Dmitri Gaskin, Drupal Developer
Growing Up in the Drupal Community
Dries Buytaert, Founder and Project Leader
The State of Drupal
Gian Wild, Accessibility Expert
The Differences Between WCAG1 and WCAG2
Joomla! For All
Joomla! Web Content Management System is ideal for most CASE members. We are proud to have been involved with Joomla from very early on and to keep in contact with the developers and community to make sure member organisations can get the most from this fantastic web software platform.
CASE staff are attending Joomla Day Sydney on the weekend of 19/20 October 2013. The theme this year is responsive design which allows web sites to display properly on multiple devices with different types of displays.
auDA Review
Earlier this year CASE staff participated in a review of the Australian Domain Administration, better known as auDA. Over the years our staff have assisted members with many issues related to domain names and have participated in auDA policy review panels to represent the community development sector.
"An independent review of auDA by international governance experts has found the Australian domain administration to be one of the most transparent and effective in the global Internet community."
The complete report can be found on the auDA website.
