Update, I'm settling on Scott Labs @ 6pm tonight...<br><br>When: Thursday Feb 28 2008 @ 6PM<br>Where: Scott Labs 103<br>Pizza: free<br><br>I hope everyone can make it out to our opensource meeting tonight. I'm trying a new location, Scott Labs (shiny pretty building with sky bridge near Science & Engineering Library) because I think its pretty, and well it fits with the idea of SilverStripe, that it has a great infrastructure. <br>
<br>SilverStripe is a MVC (Model View Controller) web development framework for PHP5. It is listed as a CMS, but looking at the code, the CMS is just a class/object/subset of the framework/language. Its also free and opensource. <br>
<br><br>Also, be sure to tell a friend who might be interested, we're open<br><br>Reasons for the room switch...<br>our speaker is mechanical engineering, and Scott Labs is the mech eng building so as not to scare him<br>
Dreese Labs is completely booked before 7, and I wanted to mess with the time of the meeting, easier on the working folks<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 7:24 PM, Peter Dietz <<a href="mailto:dietz.72@osu.edu">dietz.72@osu.edu</a>> wrote:<br>

</p><p>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 utilise. As we said; stay
up late for fun, not for your boss.</p><p>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.</p>=<br>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).<br><br>TBA = default plans are thursday Dreese Labs 266 @ 7pm, but I am trying to schedule Scott Labs (SO) 103 for 6pm on thursday because <br>
