HUBzero Roadmap and the Future of the CMS

Where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. A brief look at the direction of and changes to HUBzero's Content Management System.

Michael McLennan is a senior research scientist at Purdue University’s Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, where he is Director of the HUBzero Platform for Scientific Collaboration. He received a Ph.D. in 1990 from Purdue University, supported as an SRC Graduate Fellow, for his dissertation on dissipative quantum mechanical electron transport in semiconductor heterostructure devices. He spent 14 years working in industry at Bell Labs and Cadence Design Systems, developing software for computer-aided design of integrated circuits. He created [incr Tcl], an object-oriented extension of the Tcl scripting language, which has been used by thousands of developers worldwide on projects ranging from the TiVo digital video recorder to the Mars Pathfinder. He coauthored two books, Effective Tcl/Tk Programming (Addison-Wesley, 1997) and Tcl/Tk Tools (O’Reilly Media, 1997). His latest project is the Rappture Toolkit, which accelerates the process of creating scientific tools for simulation and modeling.

Shawn Rice received his M.S. in Information Technology from Purdue University in 2004. With over 15 years of web development experience, his skills and interest run the gamut from server-side programming to client-side scripting to graphic design to accessibility and usability testing. In spring of 2005 he joined the Network for Computational Nanotechnology as a web developer, working primarily on nanoHUB.org, contributing to both the visual design and code. Shawn now also develops code, graphic designs, and offers support for HUBzero projects.
