Architecting govCMS: Australian Government as a Service - David Peterson
The Australian Federal Government has taken the revolutionary step of standardising on Drupal in public cloud. govCMS is a 'Whole of Government' solution that any federal or state level agency can join, leveraging the infrastructure, knowledge and experience of the collective government.
By pioneering this solution, the Australian Government are putting a stake in the ground and challenging the traditional private, proprietary, closed source approaches taken in the past. This opens up new possibilities for governments around the World in their search for an ideal platform to interact with their citizens.
• How government agencies have an increased opportunity to engage their citizens by adopting open source solutions
• How agencies can remove blockers and enable more engaging digital services
Leveraging open government platforms to foster better dialog and engage citizens at a far deeper level than is currently possible
A Drupal case study on developing the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Dig Music website. I gave this talk at Drupal Downunder #ddu2011 in Brisbane, Australia (Jan 23, 2011).
I discuss how the Semantic Web was used to create a real time snapshot of a musical artist that is pulled live from the digital radio broadcast.
I also talk about performance issues we encountered and ways that they were overcome.
Bringing History Alive: Telling stories with Linked Data and open source toolsDavid Peterson
The Australian War Memorial is connecting and enriching online archives and collections toward building a platform for telling history. Through Drupal 7 and Linked Data, the Memorial intends to develop tools that designers, researchers and historians can use to help find new ways of building historical narratives.
We will demonstrate some early prototypes and experiments, key uses of Linked Data, practical publishing tools and discuss how this work is unfolding inside one of Australia’s major collecting institutions.

The ABC launched three new socially networked digital radio websites: ABC Dig Music, ABC Jazz and ABC Country in July 2009. They are the first of several ABC projects involving content aggregation. As well as having slick, highly usable designs the music platform integrates with various sources including MusicBrainz, YouTube, Last.fm and Wikipedia. This aggregation functionality graphically illustrates the possibilities of Semantic Web technology for an editorial organisation such as the ABC.

Better User Experience through Personalisation in DrupalDavid Peterson
Personalisation means better communication to your site visitors. We all know that one size doesn't fit all and this is very true for content. A message that is important to me might be of no consequence to you.
Many competing CMS systems have built-in Personalisation. These are powerful, but often complex beasts; yet many clients want this power. How can this be achieved in Drupal? How can Drupal do it better than the other big, expensive, proprietary systems?
I will present the latest techniques in the Personalisation space and how they can be deeply integrated into your Drupal website.
Topics Covered:
- Explicit Personalisation (logged in users)
- Implicit Personalisation (anonymous users)
- Presenting content to users based on:
geo-location
user device
time-of-day
time-of-week
browsing patterns
and more...
- Keeping Drupal fast
Personalisation in the Open Marketing CloudDavid Peterson
The days of “one-size-fits-all” marketing are over, and hyper-personalisation is the new norm. Digital marketers and site owners are being asked to do more with less to engage customers, segment their audience, and offer highly tailored content. Today’s sophisticated consumers, thanks to personalised sites like Netflix or Amazon, are accustomed to a new level of engagement that seems to have been built with them in mind.
Join me to learn how Acquia is empowering marketers and site builders to build personalised digital experiences from the ground up with adaptive learning, new and engaging campaigns and content, increased conversions and revenue, and improved engagement.
