THE DEMO:

Hear from the team that developed the Energy.gov Drupal platform and is
consolidating hundreds of sub sites that, previously, were a challenge to
maintain. The Department of Energy brought in the Phase2 Technology team to
to create a platform that integrates many sites into a central point,
enables easier sharing of content and features across sites, and doesn’t
require developer intervention. And they wanted it all under a uniform and
award-winning design that defines the platform’s experience today.


The presentation will cover early architectural decisions and will look
into some of the key CMS technologies used such as Organic Groups,
user-generated blocks and block entities (aka "Beans") that added
significant flexibility and simplicity for users working within the
platform.  The team will also provide updates on the new innovations on the
platform that aimed at supporting the Department if Energy's needs and
goals.
