What does your shop do and how do you work with Drupal

Face The State produces investigative reporting covering state and local politics in Colorado. Our site has been Drupal-powered since we began, and we upgraded to D6 this spring. It's a powerful CMS that allows us to easily roll out new features while keeping most IT tasks in-house.

How did you first get involved in Drupal development?

A consultant identified Drupal as the best CMS for our needs when our site first launched; in the last 3 years we've been able to do more and more of our own development by leveraging CCK, views and content templates. Up next is integrating more of our back-end tasks through bootstrapping and drush.

What type of work and/or websites do you specialize in?

Most of my time is spent improving FTS, but I've begun using multisite for some personal side projects, too. Right now all my clients are in the online news business.

What are you most looking forward to at DrupalCamp Colorado?

I'm excited to see how others are using Drupal in different and novel ways, and maybe help some newer users if I can.

Is there anything else you'd like our attendees to know?

We're finding Drupal isn't just a good tool to run a publicly-facing Web site; it can be a solid hub for other administrative and promotional tasks, too.
