[Sagamore Online] State of Sagamore Online Video Conference

[John R. Lenz]

Dave, if you keep your shirt on this time I might join the conference.

It might be a bit premature to have the public website on the agenda since the county IT dept. is moving toward using a universal CMS across the county. This transition will happen sometime this year. Ms. Brown just told me about it.

The system they are transitioning to is called http://www.eschoolview.com/ and I have no idea why this was chosen. 

Here's a DeKalb page with info about it:

I don't understand why they didn't use something like wordpress multisite http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on that part of it and Ms. Brown is feeding me information. Hopefully we can retain at least some of our brand identity.

Instead of sharing our perspectives on the state of Sagamore online right then and there, we agreed it'd be wise to do it in a recorded video conference instead.  That way, more people can easily participate in the discussion, and the discussion can be watched live or later by anyone interested.
