Yale ITS undertook a project in late 2009 to build up an enterprise infrastructure powering Drupal, the university's recently-selected institutional content management system. Nick Silkey recently presented at the first LOPSA Professional IT Community Conference, hosted by the local New Jersey LOPSA chapter, on how this was accomplished. From the program booklet:

"Content management systems are nothing new. What is new is the idea of a pressable, one-click infrastructure which can provision on-demand. This talk centers around the decision points and lessons learned from the infrastructure side of the house when a 30,000-person university standardizes upon an open-source content management system to host a rainbow of web content for various flavors of students, faculty, and staff. We shall discuss tools actively leveraged in the trenches which support automated builds and deployment, version-control systems, continuous integration workflow tools, along with high-availabilty infrastructure components.
