  Hi there,
 
  I would like to inform you that I intent to retreat from the Zope 2
  release manager position soon. I have been serving the Zope  
community in
  this position for almost seven years and now it is time to move on  
and
  hand
  over the responsibility to some other person. The reasons for  
stepping
  down
  are pretty easy: I am too busy with other things and I would like to
  shift my
  focus on other Zope-related projects but I will remain part of the
  Zope and
  Plone community.
 
  The Zope community has no official process for choosing a new release
  manager so
  I assume some volunteer has to speak up or someone may suggest a
  honorable person
  of the Zope community for the position.

Thanks for the years of contributions and time! Many people and  
parties have appreciated it.

Good luck with the new endeavors,

Kit

Re: [Zope-dev] PyPI mirrors available

2008-11-13 Thread Kit BLAKE
2008/11/13 Andreas Jung [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi there,

 I would like to point out that we have started the PyPI replication project
 some months ago during the Blackforest sprint:

 http://www.openplans.org/projects/pypi-mirroring/project-home

 As an outcome we are now able to provide in phase one of the project some
 mirrors of PyPI index. Currently we have three mirrors up and running and
 some more mirrors will join the project soon. Right now we provide all
 packages of PyPI that are directly hosted on PyPI (no packages with external
 download URLs). This project should bring a lot of ease to buildout users
 because PyPI is no longer a single-point-of-failure. Currently you have to
 choose a PyPI mirror manually. For the next project phase we think about a
 smarter mirror selection mechanism that is more transparent to setuptools
 and zc.buildout.

 Suggestions and further support in terms of hardware resources and
 bandwidth are highly appreciated.

 Credits go to Josip Delic and Gottfried Ganssauge of Haufe Mediengruppe for
 their contributions to the original codebase  of z3c.pypimirror and to
 Daniel Kraft of D9T for being doing most of the coding of the package.


Congrats to all!

Re: [Zope-dev] Zope 2.12 features / roadmap

2008-10-31 Thread Kit BLAKE
 Andreas Jung [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 From what I know of other consumers of Zope 2, it seems Haufe doesn't
 have a need for any of the Zope 2.12 features at this point,
 but is using Zope 2.11 / Zope 3.4 as a development base.

 There is no special need for a Zope 2.12 release from the Haufe side  
 - we still have to catch up :-)

Ditto for Silva (the catch up as well)

 Yeah, that's nice. Does it work as a PNG, though? I was under the
 impression (and thought  the spec requires) that favicons must be
 *.ico files.

A PNG favicon will work in the Mozilla family, but not in IE.

 OK, that would be unacceptable, IMHO. However, the awesome power of
 Graphic Converter helped me produce a ICO file from the PNG, which I
 am attaching to this email (no idea if the list lets it through,
 though).

Works for me (although I'm on an Apple, someone please test with Win/IE))

[Zope-dev] Re: [Z3lab] Nuxeo supports Zope Corp announces

2005-06-18 Thread kit blake
Wow, what a difference two days makes. I heard about the ZF
announcement by telephone two mornings ago, and I breathed a huge sigh
of relief. It solves a problem we've been worrying about for years. It
means we can sit across from a nervous IT director, and when he asks
dubious questions about the steering and future of the Zope platform,
we can say with certainty, It's in good hands.

Reviewing the thread, I'm astonished at the negativity. C'mon, this is
a *breakthrough*. It's a move that can ensure the future of Zope.
Granted, it's prudent to be cautious, and there's a lot of work to be
done, but it's a major step. Shouldn't we be using an Agile approach?

As for structure and neutrality, I think decisions should be left up
to the developers. If they're not on board, there won't be anything.
I'm not much of a developer, I'm a manager, and I know that attempting
to pull developers 'over a bridge' is a bad idea.

Actually, I'm a vendor too. So wearing all these different stakeholder
hats, I'm looking forward to the process. To be explicit: I'm prepared
to invest in the future of Zope.
