Way back in 2009, PreviousNext built the first major government Drupal portal in Australia for NSW.gov.au. That project became a showcase for how the open source CMS could be successfully adopted by all tiers of government, and helped pave the way for its rapid adoption.
The time has come to close the book on our government Drupal distribution, aGov. We are no longer actively developing sites using aGov, and instead are focussing our efforts on the new GovCMS Drupal 8 distribution. Here’s a short history of aGov and how we got to this point.
The Department of Communications leads the Australian Government’s policies and initiatives for digital technology and communication services. In early 2015 PreviousNext was contracted to develop the Department's new website using Drupal.
We’re pleased to announce the release of the third full version of aGov, the open Drupal CMS for Australian Government websites, available for free download now from Drupal.org.
Join us for the second annual DrupalGov conference in Canberra to see why Drupal is now the preferred CMS for government.
