Presenting "Drupal and Webmin" at DrupalCamp San Diego

We gave a presentation earlier this week at the Los Angeles Drupal group on Webmin and Drupal, a powerful combination of open-source programs that we use for nearly all of our web projects. The presentation was created in part as a response to a question in the Multisite group about using a web control panel to manage multiple Drupal sites — it’s not exactly the official definition of multisite but it’s still a worthwhile approach to easily managing multiple Drupal installations.

It turns out that the LA Drupal meetup wasn’t recorded, so we’re doing the presentation again at this weekend’s DrupalCamp San Diego (aka SANDcamp) and this time we’re bringing our video camera. Here’s the description of the session, Drupal and Webmin: Managing unlimited Drupal sites with your own VPS:

Take your Drupal sites to the next level with the free, open-source Webmin control panel and its powerful Virtualmin plug-in. Add as many features as you want, including unlimited domains, mail accounts, Subversion repositories, mailing lists, and more with a point-and-click web interface.

Webmin and Virtualmin are similar to cPanel and WHM, respectively, and can manage dozens or even hundreds of domains. They are the perfect tools for creating test and development sites, hosting client websites or even managing a full-blown online infrastructure for running a business.

Did we forget to mention, Webmin and Virtualmin are free and open-source? Compared to site licensing costs of cPanel, WHM, Plesk and other proprietary control panels, Webmin and Virtualmin cost only as much as a basic $20 VPS account.

We’ll post the video here as soon as we can. Meanwhile, many thanks to Beck for rescheduling the session for us at the last minute.

See you in San Diego!
