Our ALE Central Meeding presentation for
Thursday, July 12th, 7:30pm will be:

"Fun with Drupal 5:
Beyond Content Management"

Presented by Elmer Masters

Synopsis:
   In the context of the current projects I'm working on, I'll
talk about setting up Drupal multisites, sharing database
tables between sites, using external authentication, managing
content and users, customizing content-types, building
modules, and a bit of theming, time permitting.
   Generally, I'll expose that Drupal is not merely a content
management system, but functions well as a complete web
development framework and platform.

Bio:
   By day Elmer Masters is the Director of Internet
Development for the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal
Instruction ( CALI, <http://www.cali.org> ) where
he is currently heading up a one-man project to move all
