Agenda: May's Seattle Plone Gathering

They will be demo'ing a new Plone portal developed for parents to gain easy (and secure) access to their children's class schedules and other information.

Plone is a nice fit for the project in that it was relatively fast to implementation, and has strong linkages with LDAP and MYSQL - both important for integration into the school's enterprise-level authentication and relational database infrastructure - holding information for 47,000 students, over 150,000 parents, and 7,000 staff members.

Plone offered a powerful solution for a district with budgetary problems since the there was also no licensing costs.
