This one’s for everybody! In this talk, we’ll cover the organizational and technical benefits of running a multi-network, multi-site WordPress as the primary CMS at Boston University. We'll highlight specific strategies, including organizational policies, development workflows and team structure that allow us to serve over a million users per month. We’re here to help dispel the notion that a centralized approach to WordPress can't successfully be implemented in higher ed.
Andrew Bauer is a UI Developer at Boston University, integrally involved in the management of our multi-network, multi-site platform. Andrew is a theme and plugin developer, also a WordPress core contributor. On a day-to-day basis, he is either mocking up a new interface somewhere, tinkering in one of our 200+ plugins and themes, or digging through analytics to see how we can improve our service. Andrew is also an avid skier, although it's been terrible year for that up in Boston!
