Jennifer mentioned in her blog entry last week that I'll be helping out with managing Archives & Museum Informatics' 1275+ member on-line community at http://conference.archimuse.com, as part of my position with the company. Well, in case you didn't know, we use Drupal, an amazing open source content management platform, to run this site. However, considering how powerful Drupal is, it is admittedly rather complex to a non-techie Museum Studies grad like myself.

Peter Samis, who works for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MoMA), delighted the audience in Thursday morning’s Theoretical Frameworks session at mw2008. Peter’s overview of Take Your Time, a recent exhibition at SF MoMA of Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, was dazzling. I especially appreciated Peter's honesty about the good and bad news surrounding the museum’s attempt to mash up its voice with those of visitors.
