[opensource-announce] Meeting Announcement: SilverStripe CMS

[Peter Dietz]

Hey everybody,

Our meeting this Thursday will have Jim Muir speaking / demoing
Silverstripe, an open source Content Management System (CMS) built atop a
powerful object oriented MVC Model-View-Controller programming framework,
Sapphire. Free, open source, and PHP5.
http://www.silverstripe.com/

When: Thursday Feb 28 2008 @ 6PM
Where: Scott Labs (SO) room 103
Pizza: most definitely

Note: Meeting is in Scott Labs, not Dreese Labs. And the time is 6pm, not
7pm. I changed this up to be a little easier on the 8-5'ers who have to
over-stretch to make it to a 7pm meeting. Scott Labs is the shiny, recently
built, pretty building with a sky bridge and is near Science & Engineering
Library. I'm picking this location because both SilverStripe and ScottLabs
both have a really excellent framework / infrastructure.

>From their website...
The framework lets you rapidly code up the "objects" your project uses (e.g.
staff members, products, customers, along with their relationships). You
then add a few lines of code and find SilverSight has automatically added
tables and columns to the database, let you use them in your website
templates, and has added new "page types" and fields into the CMS for the
content editor to utilize. As we said; stay up late for fun, not for your
boss.

We've rethought how content editors, developers, and designers should build
and manage websites. We've arrived at a unique combination that empowers all
three to get their jobs done more quickly and with more flexibility.

SilverStrike was a project of the Google Summer of Code (SoC) and the highly
open participation content, and is currently under active development (just
hit 50,000 update records).


So, come out and hopefully learn something cool, and tell a friend as we
would love more than anything to let more people know about open source.
