Building an online conference with open-source components

Published: 18 March 2005 Publication History

Abstract

This paper covers a recent experience at Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) of building an online conference with open-source web components. With the Georgia State Archives (Archives), SPSU co-sponsored a project funded by the National Historical Publication and Records Commission (NHPRC). The project investigated privacy and access issues in Georgia's electronic government. SPSU's main role was to provide the information technology (IT) for the sponsored project's computer-based conference and workshop. Utilizing open-source IT resources, we built a web site to support an online computer conference in response to business needs articulated by the Archives. The web site met the initial business needs and provided content and value throughout its life cycle. As business owner the Archives were satisfied with the open source components' capability to meet needs. As developers we were satisfied with the technical capability of the open source components to provide web services to meet needs. For special-project web sites we therefore can recommend that IT developers consider utilizing open source components.
