[Sussex] MySource Matrix Open Source CMS presentation

[Fay Zee]

Hi all. Upcoming presentation I've found. Some of you may be interested 
in content management systems. I've asked for the day off to go up to 
Olympia to see this.


Oxford University Library Services have been using the MySource Matrix 
Open Source content management system for about three years. They're 
giving a keynote presentation on their implementation at the Internet 
World 2008 show. This talk takes place on Tuesday 29th April at Olympia 
and is free to attend.

MySource Matrix, in its current incarnation, was developed in 2001 by 
a privately owned company called Squiz, founded in 1998. It comes in 
two versions: open source (GPL) or Squiz Supported Version (SSV) with 
additional modules. It's designed to run on a Linux web server, running 
Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL. Other platforms and databases (eg Oracle) 
are also supported. It's written in PHP and uses the PEAR database 
abstraction layer to manage database communication.
