DrupalCon Austin 2014: DRUPAL FOR LOCAL GOV- HOW SAN MATEO COUNTY IS RAISING THE BAR WITH OPENPUBLIC
Speakers: fmphaynes
San Mateo County made the decision to move their county's sites to a new, open source Drupal platform built on the OpenPublic Drupal distribution. Using a blend of apps, a shared search index, panels, and content sharing, the new platform was built to maintain a strong central brand while meeting individual agency demand for autonomy, flexibility and scalability.
This panel session will discuss the technical challenges that San Mateo faced from a local government perspective, and how the San Mateo team developed their Drupal strategy to overcome these challenges.
The discussion will include:
San Mateo County's website original challenges and goals
How we decided on the platform approach: Drupal and OpenPublic
Managing multiple sites' requirements with Apps
Unified Search and Aggregated content with SOLR
Micro and Sub-Sites with Panels
