Open Atrium dot edu: Open Atrium as a Campus Intranet

Log in to add this to your schedule

Open Atrium is an excellent install profile for small teams and project management – but with a few tweaks, it can be retrained as a powerful and beautiful intranet for universities and other large organizations. Cal State Monterey Bay has successfully put all 6000 daily users and tens of thousands of applicants in a single Open Atrium site, and used a combination of features overrides, custom spaces, and Open Atrium's own APIs to make it our own.

We gave a similar presentation at BADCamp 2011, and everyone loved it. This time we'll delve deeper into the code and go over some new modules we will be releasing to help other institutions get started.

Your work at CSUMB should change how people think about Open Atrium! We look forward to having some of these features being available on D.O.

Can you explain how the integration with LDAP module works to automatically push the name into your RealName field?
