In addition to the jamming, coding and documenting during the day, we're also trying to arrange an outing to go see the Red Sox<http://www.redsox.com>play in Fenway Park, hear top Berklee College of Music students perform at the Wallys Jazz Cafe <http://www.wallyscafe.com/> jam session, and see the earth in 3D at the world-famous Mapparium<http://www.marybakereddylibrary.org/exhibits/mapparium.jhtml>. Multimedia topics and more! The focus of the sprint is to improve Plone's handling of multimedia content, but there will also be a team working on Vice<http://www.openplans.org/projects/vice>(incoming/outgoing Atom/RSS syndication), Deliverance <http://www.openplans.org/projects/deliverance> and Plone4ArtistsCalendar<http://plone4artists.org/products/plone4artistscalendar>. There is also an environmental track which will focus on REST web service for Archetypes, Map gallery and Plone4ArtistsImage <http://plone4artists.org/products/plone4artistsimage>, an image content type that can extra metadata about the image (IPTC, EXIF, geotagged location).
