Survey on Open Source CMS Usage

This came across with a few of my mailing lists today and I thought you’d all be interested:

I am conducting a survey for my dissertation which looks at the changing role of the public library website. It also explores the role that open source content management systems play in this change. If you work for a public library and have migrated your web content from a static HTML environment to an open source CMS, I kindly request approximately fifteen minutes of your time to complete a ten-question survey. I have been reaching out to a number of libraries directly, so if I have already contacted you regarding this matter please ignore this message.

The survey can be accessed by following this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5VX7F8Q

Further information on the project and the way data will be handled is available here: http://notepad.cc/share/rkeH3HBhOz

Ubuntu for Libraries at ALA 2010

On Sunday I had the pleasure of talking to librarians about Ubuntu as an alternative to traditional operating systems in libraries. This is just one of the many tools I talk about in the upcoming book, so I thought that readers here might be interested.
