I agree! ALA has always encouraged its readers to peer out
over the cubicle and talk to their colleagues in different web
disciplines. And AEA is somewhat unique in emphasizing design, code,
and content as parts of a holistic "design" approach.
And designer/coders certainly need to work with content
management sytems, so I retract my "not sure it's the same audience"
comment.
You are right.
But the problem of not being able to make space available
(because we don't own the space) remains. Then, too, if we were to
expand AEA to deliberately include CMS systems at future events, we'd
probably also need to include a couple of additional open-source
systems (lest the event be perceived as a commercial or an
endorsement). Make sense?

As mentioned, perhaps at a future event (with more than one
open-source CMS), it could be a very good idea!
We will keep it in mind.
Thanks!
