*Abstract*

Content management is a huge issue for organizations of all sizes,
addressed by products ranging from simple in-house solutions to
multi-million dollar commercial applications. Bricolage, an
enterprise-class open-source content management system powered by
Apache/mod_perl and PostgreSQL, aims to bridge the gap between these
extremes by offering an intuitive interface with powerful capabilities.

This presentation offers a practical introduction to Bricolage. As an
open-source product with commercial-class features such as document type
definition, granular access control, flexible templating, and
platform-independent content distribution, Bricolage enables a deep and
comprehensive organizational content management workflow. Following a
brief review of its history, we'll focus on the essentials needed to
start using Bricolage. The topics covered include:

* Foundation and Architecture (yes, it's 100% Perl).
* Document type analysis.
* Document type modeling.
* Templating Architecture and fundamentals.
* Mason template development.
* Document Editing.

Bricolage has gained wide adoption from organizations as diverse as the
World Health Organization, The Register, and Macworld Magazine. Its
power and ease of use led to its being named "Most Impressive" of 2002
by eWeek. Join Bricolage maintainer and lead developer David Wheeler to
learn what the fuss is about, and to discover how to put Bricolage to
work in your organization.

*About Pittsburgh Perl Mongers*

Pittsburgh.pm is just a small part of the Perl Mongers organization. We
hold informal gatherings from time to time to discuss Perl and other
interesting, geeky stuff. We encorage people from all walks of life to
attend. You don't have to be an expert and there will be no ritualistic
COBOL programming at any time (unless it relates to Perl).
