Springtime is conference season, and this year has been a pretty busy one for us at Palantir. We just got back from Museums and the Web in Indianapolis last week, and it’s already time to start getting ready for next week’s CMS Expo. Fortunately, we don’t have to travel too far this time – it’s being held in Evanston, IL, which is only a few miles from our north Chicago office and also happens to be where a few of us live. CMS Expo is a training and business conference focusing on Drupal, Joomla!, Alfresco and other open source content management products. Along with our friends at Acquia, Palantir will be one of the conference’s sponsors, and a number of us will be presenting sessions as well:

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind for us here at Palantir, full of site launches, module releases, and more! We barely got our feet back on the ground here in Chicago after DrupalCon DC before it was time to head off to the next event, South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) in Austin, TX.

Tiffany Farriss, Colleen Carroll, and I had a great time, got to attend some really good sessions, and hang out with friends, including some folks from Lullabot who helped throw the awesome 32 Bit party. Colleen and I were even interviewed by Zadi Diaz for PBS about open source Web development and Drupal.

Of course, the biggest event for us was the Ultimate Showdown of Content Management System Destiny panel, which featured Colleen, Steve Fisher of Idea Market, and Matt Mullenweg of Automattic talking about how they led three teams of all-star developers from the Drupal, Joomla!, and WordPress communities to build out the same Web site in each of their chosen platforms to benefit community leadership programs. I served as the moderator.

It’s been just over a week since the Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla! teams uploaded their entries for the “Ultimate Showdown of Content Management System Destiny”, and with less than a week to go before our panel presentation at SXSW Interactive on March 16, I’m really excited by all the conversation and debate that this project has already generated on various blogs, message boards, and social networking sites.

While I don’t want to say too much here because I’m intentionally staying out of the discussion about the project for now, I did want to take this opportunity to clarify a couple of points about the goals of this project and the judging process for the competition.
