[Sigia-l] San Fran CMS Workshop, Jan 25, with Discount

SIGIA folk--

Adaptive Path is offering our "Make Your CMS Work for You" workshop at 
our new San
Francisco office on January 25. Come check out our new digs and join 
Jeff Veen and I
for a full day of stimulating discussion and critical material for those
implementing, planning to install, or managing a content management
system.

It should be a great event, and I can guarantee it will be chock full 
of useful information about handling the organizational politics of 
content management, how to get people to think of content in a 
structured, and thus manageable way, the futility of much of what the 
big CMS vendors sell, etc.

In many ways, this is as much of an information architecture workshop 
as it is a content management workshop. (We believe that content 
management is, in large part, an information architecture issue). We'll 
be addressing content models, taxonomies, facets, metadata of various 
sorts, etc.

This is a hands-on workshop, so there will be many activities to ensure 
that what you hear sinks in.

To get a 15% discount off the registration cost, use promotion code 
AFT65.
Please feel free to pass this discount along to friends or co-workers.

We've also decided to offer a few scholarships to employees of
not-for-profit groups for this workshop.  If you know someone who'd be
interested (or if you fit the bill), info about the scholarships and the
application can be found at
