November SWALLT Online: Sharing is Caring, by Justin Locsei
(please note: due to the Veterans Day holiday on Friday the 11th, this month’s SWALLT Online presentation will take place on Thursday, November 10th from 12pm-1pm)
Topic: Sharing is Caring
Presenter: Justin Locsei, Oberlin College
Over the past few years, the Oberlin CILC has developed quite a few in-house tools to make our lives easier. Some of these tools tackle problems that are common enough to merit sharing, and we have begun making the source code for these applications freely available. In this presentation, you’ll find out about a few of our more interesting projects, which include a WordPress class-blogging package, a WordPress blog manager and a usage-tracking package for computer labs. Additionally, you’ll learn how you can install and configure these applications on your own servers and use them to bring peace and tranquility to your work life.
