DrupalCon Prague 2013: HOW TO CLOSE 1000+ WEBSITES AND REPLACE THEM WITH A DRUPAL PLATFORM

This talk details how the municipality of Copenhagen is transitioning to a large-scale Drupal implementation, replacing over 1,000 websites built on various content management systems. The speaker emphasizes the mantra of creating reusable, maintainable, and flexible design, content, code, and infrastructure while balancing both short-term and long-term goals. Key topics include the replacement of an outdated intranet serving 45,000 employees, the establishment of a scalable information architecture, and the management of multiple Drupal distributions with the Aegir project. The session also highlights the importance of the open-source community and the benefits of contributing back, along with insights into future developments.
