Many organisations put a lot of time and effort into the initial launch of a website, but give little thought to how it will be maintained once it goes live. Over the past 8 years the Drupal community has developed technologies and best practises for maintaining websites and keeping them secure, which were promoted at this event.

About 120 people attended, thanks to everyone who came!

Date: Thu, 26/11/2009 - 18:00 - 21:00
Location: Sun Microsystems, Regis House, King William St, London
