Recap: Feb 2005 Seattle Plone Gathering

The topics included an intro to the Plone workflow from Brian Gershon and an examination of approaches to creating signup forms in Plone by Andrew Burkhalter. The enthusiasm for networking and discussing Plone-related projects after the meeting was also very exciting. Many stuck around for nearly an hour after the meeting and it was exciting to see designers make contact with implementers, programmers discuss projects, and others request additional Plone training from experts.

Agenda for March 29th, 2005 Meeting:

While certainly not a pre-requisite to working with Plone, those needing to significantly customize the Plone CMS realize that a bit of Python is a useful skill. Fortunately, as far as programming languages go, Python is incredibly easy to learn and very powerful!

Many that filled out our survey expressed a desire to learn more about Python and we're excited to have guest speaker Brian Dorsey, a key organizer in the Seattle Python Interest Group (SeaPig), for our March meeting.

Brian will be giving a 30 minute intro to Python talk and accepting questions. Afterwards, we'll talk through an interesting Plone site in an attempt to glean ideas and suggestions. Let us know if you have something to show off! Otherwise, Brian or Andrew will come up with something interesting.
