MySource Matrix International User Conference 2008
Last year Squiz held their first annual MySource Matrix International User Conference. Obviously it was in Australia, so I didn't even consider the possibility of attending. After it was over and passed, I read the recapped info that Squiz posed on their website. It sounded like it would have been a fantastic conference, and I wished that I could have gone.
Well, this year I am going! I got asked by Squiz to give a case study on our new PUC Website (launching very, very soon, I swear!), and also on some of the administration tools that I have been working on. Basically I will be showing off Pacific Union College's brand spankin' new site, that we have been working on for the past year. I will be showing examples of our old website, and comparisons with the new. Detailing old processes, and how much time Matrix saves us, and how it gives us the freedom to build a site how we want, without a huge burden of updating multiple pages to reflect a new item (e.g. news items), as we are doing currently. Then I will be talking about my ajaxified (is that even a word?) asset builders, simple edit, etc.
Personally, I am really excited to hear all the other presentations, and network with a great group of people. And another exciting, thing, we will get to have hands on demos of MySource 4! I can't wait. Of course going to Australia in the first place will be a great experience. I will be working most of the time. I will be there for the week before the conference, working in Squiz's Sydney office. Not sure what I will be doing, but Avi Miller says that he will keep my busy! :) I have a feeling that they will just work me really hard as payback for all the questions that I have asked on the Matrix forums, and all the time that has been spent answering my questions! But honestly, the forums have been an amazing resource, and I thank everyone for their help!
Well, I am excited, and I hope to see some of you there!
