What is LDS TECH?

With the global reach of the Church, members from around the world are curious about the type of technical work we do. This web site is designed to give you a glimpse into that work and how you can get involved.

LDSTech Web Site - LDS Technology Site: "In creating the new LDSTech web site, we had a few technical objectives that we wanted to meet. They were.

1. Demonstrate our use of open source software.
2. Create a site that was community friendly and encouraged participation.
3. Limit the amount of resources that the Church would need to spend in maintaining and supporting the web site.

This web site uses the following technologies:-

* Apache 2.0 - Web server
* MySQL - Database server
* PHP - Server side scripting language
* Joomla - Content management system.
* vBulletin - Forum software.

The site sits on a SuSE Linux server. "
