A Path to Success

Good report comparing content management systems for non-profits

This report from idealWare compares 4 popular open source content management systems (CMS) that non profits like to use. If you ever are in the market to try Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal or Plone this is the report for you.

The 2 second summary? Joomla and Wordpress are best for simple page-based sites, while Drupal and Plone are best for more complex, content-rich, multi-user websites. I would love to hear more from the community whether they agree with the report's conclusions.

Alex Sirota nominated for Democrats Abroad board

On May 24 2009, Democrats Abroad Canada will hold their annual general meeting where a new board of directors for Democrats Abroad Canada will be selected. Democrats Abroad is an international organization that organizes all US citizens abroad to vote and be aware of the US political scene, even when they live abroad.

The organization describes itself as ".. the official Democratic Party organization for the millions of Americans living outside the United States. We work to advance the principles of our Party by spreading the Democratic message to Americans abroad and encouraging them to vote for Democratic candidates back home."

The nomination slate is online, and I have been nominated as a "member-at-large". If you or someone you know is a US expatriate living in Canada, please let them know today.
