Good information.
How We Drupal, How Do You Drupal?
Stephen Taylor – Appalachian State, Nick Young – NC State, Mark Shropshire – UNC-Charlotte (08.Nov.2010 at 17:45)
Talk at UNC CAUSE 2010 (English - US)
Mark Shropshire (UNCC), Stephen Taylor (ASU), and Nick Young (NCSU) will lead a discussion about how UNC Charlotte, Appalachian State, and NC State are implementing Drupal at their institutions.
Stephen will talk about how his group became a 1-stop-shop for campus Drupal support at ASU. Recognizing its importance to their success, they created a robust support structure, and now build turnkey Drupal websites for departments at no charge. In just 18 months they are closing in on 150 sites rebuilt and deployed.
Nick will provide information about running Drupal for the Central OIT website, as well as developing Drupal sites for varying groups across the NCSU campus.
Mark will talk about his use of Drupal and Drupal distributions in his department, Student Union, Activities and Recreation. He will also touch on the recent departmental Drupal theme development and the selection of Drupal to drive the new UNC Charlotte home page.
Mark, Stephen and Nick will kick off the discussion, but the focus will be on discussion, collaboration, and hearing how different institutions, departments and even individual designers or developers are working with Drupal.

Great information, only wish they had more time to go into detail.

Some good info regarding who is doing what on different campuses. Wish there had been more explanation as to why Drupal was chosen. The easy to implement social networking component was not emphasized as much as I would have expected, since this is such a hot web topic these days. Also the amount of work involved in 'theming' a site was not explored much either.
The willingness of the discussion leaders to act as resources and share what they have learned (post conference) was good news for some of us at least. Thanks guys.

@anonymous - The App Drupal project is ongoing and many sites have not been migrated in this first year. We chose quality and attention to detail in migrations over speed. We keep a current list of completed sites at cms.appstate.edu.
@krauser - All 3 of us requested individual sessions, but there were only so many spots at UNC Cause. We chose to all present together and hold a BOF (birds of a feather) session to make the best use of the time and start a conversation. Please send any questions that you still have to us. Contact info is in the slides Nick posted.
Thanks again!

Obviously, some great Drupal expertise in the system. App State work is very impressive. I'd like to learn more about it. Valuable session.

Good job presenting. As a user of the ASU Drupal implementation, I have enjoyed getting out of site design, and just get to focus on content.
