I sent out an invitation to some Plone Boot Camps in North Carolina. My
good buddy, Plone Boot Camp alum, and longtime Zoper Tom Bennett at
Appalachian State (ASU) replied with the news below of a CMS shoot-out
for campus CMS at ASU. Plone's turn is tomorrow.
This email is mainly for your awareness. I don't expect anyone to drop
what they are doing to investigate or try to get involved to help in
this. But if that is your thing, both a website about the shoot-out and
contacts are listed below. I regret I could not tell you about this
sooner. I'm sure opportunities like this fly by all the time.
For further awareness, ASU is the home and birthplace of their own
homegrown PHP-based CMS called phpWebSite. It's nowhere near Plone. But
it is theirs. http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/
Tom,
You may want to check out a marketing case study site at
http://plone.net if you haven't already.

registration for our fourth annual ultra-low cost Plone and Python training
camps, BootCampArama 2008:
http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/2008/
Registration is now open for:
PyCamp: Python Boot Camp, August 4 - 8
Plone Boot Camp: Customizing Plone, July 28 - August 1
Advanced Plone Boot Camp: Plone 3 Techniques, August 4 - 8
All of these take place on the campus of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill in state of the art high tech classrooms, with free mass
transit, low-cost accommodations with free wireless, and convenient dining
options.
Plone Boot Camp is taught by Joel Burton, twice chair of the Plone
Foundation. Joel has logged more the 200 days at the head of Plone
classrooms on four continents. See plonebootcamps.com for dozens of
testimonials from Joel's students.
PyCamp is taught by Chris Calloway, facilitator for TriZPUG and application
analyst for the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing System. Chris has
developed PyCamp for over 1500 hours on behalf of Python user groups. Early
bird registration runs through June 30. So register today!
PyCamp is TriZPUG's Python Boot Camp, which takes a programmer familiar
with basic programming concepts to the status of Python developer with one
week of training. If you have previous scripting or programming experience
and want to step into Python programming as quickly and painlessly as
possible, this boot camp is for you. PyCamp is also the perfect follow-on
to Plone Boot Camp: Customizing Plone the previous week.
At Plone Boot Camp: Customizing Plone you will learn the essentials you
need to build your Plone site and deploy it. This course is the most
popular in the Plone world--for a good reason: it teaches you practical
skills in a friendly, hands-on format. This bootcamp is aimed at: * people
with HTML or web design experience
* people with some or no Python experience
* people with some or no Zope/Plone experience
It covers using Plone, customizing, and deploying Plone sites.
At Advanced Plone Boot Camp: Plone 3 Techniques you will learn to build a
site using the best practices of Plone 3 as well as advance your skills in
scripting and developing for Plone. The course covers the new technologies
in Plone 3.0 and 3.1 intended for site integrators and developers: our new
portlet infrastructure, viewlets, versioning, and a friendly introduction
to Zope 3 component architecture. Now, updated for Plone 3.1! The course is
intended for people who have experience with the basics of Plone site
development and HTML/CSS. It will cover what you need to know to take
advantage of these new technologies in Plone 3.
