A case study in integrating two CMSs
Session en anglais
There are some really good PHP-based CMS platforms out there, but despite the claims of the faithful, it's fair to say no single system is the perfect choice for every kind of website.
When no single CMS will fit your needs, then maybe it's time to integrate two systems, and get the best of both worlds. This presentation will examine an approach to using both Drupal and ImpressCMS/XOOPS to provide different content to the same website. We will examine the architectural issues, look at the code changes required, and the other bits of "glue" necessary, and discuss some different approaches to integration, depending on your requirements.
We will use this particular example to illustrate the broad issues. One great thing about open source is being able to reuse other people's code. I hope this presentation will inspire people to not be afraid of digging into other people's code, and use it to their advantage in new and exciting ways.

Freeform Solutions
Julian Egelstaff has been working in the software and IT industries for over 13 years. In 2003, he co-founded Freeform Solutions, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to help other not-for-profits use technology more effectively. The idea for Freeform Solutions came from seeing how not-for-profit and public sector organizations have many IT challenges in common, but they experience them and approach them differently from commercial organizations. Maybe a for-the-sector, by-the-sector, approach could help everyone do better? These days Julian puts all his experience to use planning systems with Freeform's partners. He is also the lead programmer of the open source project Formulize, which is a web form and data management system that is designed to provide non-programmers with the ability to create database systems on the web. Before working with technology, Julian spent a lot of time writing and thinking his way towards a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Philosophy.
