The IT Tech Fair 2012 is coming up on Thursday, October 18 from 10:30am-2:30pm in the Trabant University Center Multi-Purpose Room.

There will be no October DeDNUG meeting so that we can all allocate that time towards attending the Tech Fair.

Learn more about it and register at the IT Tech Fair site.

See you there!

We’ll be doing a combo meeting this month off-cycle (meaning not on the 3rd Wednesday of the month like we usually do).

Ben Mearns will cover the FOSSCON conference he attended in Smith Hall 015 at 10:00am. We’ll also try to set up a Google+ Hangout for those who can’t attend in person.

An email will be sent out to the group prior to the meeting with a link.

The College of Arts and Sciences is using SharePoint as the CMS platform for its public-facing web sites. Why? Come find out at the DeWD meeting on Wednesday, April 18^th at 10:00am in Smith Hall 015.

Per Rich Duggan:

The CAS IT web development team will give a four part presentation:

1) A brief overview of the SharePoint features that make it attractive as a CMS for an academic institution (Rich Duggan).

2) Tour of SharePoint farm configuration and public-facing topology (Mihir Sheth).

3) Introduction to SharePoint custom site design using master pages, page layouts, CSS, web parts, etc. (Trevor Moore).

4) OmniPage – A CAS-designed custom page layout that gives content managers a multitude of presentation options while maintaining adherence to site style requirements (Eric Cantrell).
