Here are some notes from the meeting on Oct 9, 2007:

• Open source CMS for you to play with on your own: Joomla, TextPattern, Bricolage, Drupal, Plone, WordPress.
• Look for more here: OpenSourceCMS – you can even try out some of the best ones there.
• Want a quick, introductory, hands-on experience? Create a free account at WordPress.com and make yourself the administrator of a site – and don’t forget to blog, too.

Interesting articles and websites on intro to CMS and WordPress.com:

• Why use WordPress.com, Alternatives, Limitations, Screencast – from OpenContent DIY
• WordPress tutorial and more – on YouTube
