I attended the second and last day of PodCamp here in Pittsburgh today. It started out with the garage across the street being closed and me parking in Station Square and walking across the bridge in 40 degree weather without a coat. I saw one garage said something about parking for a movie set and was tempted to try to sneak in and see if I could see Russell Crowe or someone else, but then he might have thrown a phone at me.
10 AM: Panel Discussion: Content Management Systems
This panel was moderated by Anthony Closkey (@anthonycloskey) and the panel members included David Wheeler (@davidwheeler), Danielle Nicol (@onedamnthing), and Cynthia Closkey (@cynthiacloskey). David is a leader of a Drupal group here in Pittsburgh, Danielle is works with online content for the law firm she works for and uses Sharepoint, while Cynthia is a web designer and has used WordPress and Joomla! among other CMS systems. The panel discussed some of the strengths and weaknesses of each CMS such as WordPress only having four levels of access and no way to be over just certain people where Sharepoint has some of this functionality, and Drupal has allows the creation inifinite roles and permissions. Also, David mentioned that coming in the spring is Drupal Gardens which will be sort of like the free version of WordPress where it’s hosted by WordPress rather than you setting up your own thing like with the current version? iteration? of Drupal and WordPress.org
