[Evangelism] blogging about Plone 4
Hi all- Congrats on a great Plone 4 launch, everyone! We're getting great uptake, and it's great to see so many of you tweeting up a storm. Keep it up! Just wanted to also encourage those of you who blog to write a bit about why you're so excited about Plone 4, and what it means to you, your organization, your clients. I took my stab at this: http://jstahl.org/2331 It would be great to see a steady drumbeat of pieces like this over the next few weeks, as well as a steady stream of tweets. :jon PS Carol at Six Feet Up just reported to the plone-devs list that http://demo.plone.org will be back with Plone 4 by September 10th, so that will be a really nice thing to point folks at. - Jon Stahl ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
[Evangelism] noted: python.reddit.com sent me quite a bit of traffic
Just wanted to close the loop here with some stats: I saw that Alex submitted my Plone 4 is three times faster... article to http://python.reddit.com. (Thanks, Alex!) Of the 893 visits that the page got yesterday, it appears (from Google Analytics) that 229 referred by reddit.com. That's considerably more than came from twitter.com (97, although that almost certainly doesn't include those who came via non-web twitter clients), or Facebook (54). My conclusion: it's worth the effort to post hot Plone-related news items or blog posts to python.reddit.com, if we want them to reach an audience of interested pythonistas. best, jon ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
[Evangelism] Please join us to chat about the future of Plone.net!
(Apologies for cross-posting!) Thanks to lots of great work from the Plone.net and the wider Plone community, we made some huge leaps forward with http://plone.net in the past year. We introduced and implemented the long-awaited sponsorship program, and Plone.net is now generating significant revenue for the Plone Foundation. That's a big, big deal for the Plone community. The Plone Foundation board has asked me to kick off a conversation about how we can continue to refine and improve Plone.net so that it is an even more powerful and impressive showcase for Plone sites and providers. If you're interested in participating in or following along with that conversation, please join us on the Plone.net list by subscribing at: http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plonenet In a few days, I'm going to then kick off the conversation there by offering some big-picture questions for discussion. I'm hoping we can proceed roughly along the lines of: re-clarify the present + future role of Plone.net, identify who's currently doing what, and who's willing/able to do what in the future, and identify both strategic and technical goals for improvement. If you're interested in helping make Plone.net an even more powerful hub for showcasing Plone sites and Plone providers, then please join us! best, jon ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism

I've therefor put Plone back onto ohloh (https://www.ohloh.net/p/plone) Their standard short analysis is both favorable and correct. The info about ratings, reviews, who uses and who contributes is correct as well. The underlying data represents plone-coredev trunk, which means Plone 5 right now. The number of lines of code for that release looks correct as well. But: The whole historical view of any data is pretty much useless. Neither the LOC history nor the number of commits per contributor are anywhere close to being correct. This is a limitation of the ohloh.net service, which we cannot do anything about right now. Just be aware of it, if someone tries to quote or use any of this data. Thanks, Hanno ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism

At http://www.ohloh.net/projects/drupal/reviews a reviewer comments: stats are wrong, because many developers contribute to Drupal, but only a few developers have necessary rights to commit code into Drupal core repositories. This ensures a very high quality in Drupal's core code base. The 10 ≠ 22 discrepancy remains unexplained. For Plone at http://www.ohloh.net/projects/plone/reviews we might add a comparable review, with reference to http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-developer- reference/overview/release-process and/or simply highlight: * Release Manager ― one elected individual * Framework team ― currently five individuals ― http://plone.org/about/team/FrameworkTeam. Drupal gains a community rating of 4.3/5.0 based on 111 user ratings. 111/280 = ratings from ~39% of Drupal users at Ohloh.

Maybe we could offer a prize to one lucky survey responder, and get sponsors to give something away to encourage people to fill out the survey. For example, Packt Publishing could donate a Plone book. Is there a reason why we wouldn't try to use Plone Survey instead of some crummy PHP app? ;-) UW Oshkosh has been using Plone Survey successfully for some time now. Dog food, etc. I'm all for eating one's own dogfood if it is the best tool for the job. I haven't looked at PloneSurvey for awhile so I'm not sure how it stacks up to Surveymonkey.com. I don't really care which tool we use as long as we can get relevant data out of it for analysis purposes. SurveyMonkey isn't PHP (it's a service, not an open source app) and it's a LOT more powerful and easy to use for a complex survey than PloneSurvey. Whatever, use the tool that feels right. But I think you'll find SM a lot faster and easier. For me, it would be a no-brainer. :jon ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
[Evangelism] B Corporations - interesting new association for social benefit corporations
Dear Plonistas, As many of you know, I work for a nonprofit organization, ONE/Northwest. But many of you work for small-and-growing consulting firms or other for-profit entities. Nonetheless many of you have a strong social benefit ethic in your work, whereby you seek to do good while you earn a livelihood. I've recently become aware of B Corporation (http://www.bcorporation.net), a cool new initiative to create standards for and to shine the light upon social benefit corporations, and to help corporations incorporate social benefit concepts into their legal governance structures. Interestingly, they've also partnered with Salesforce.com Foundation to make the Salesforce CRM platform available to B Corporations at an 80% discount. (See http://www.csrwire.com/News/11396.html). I could see quite a few of the Plone consulting shops I know finding it very interesting to explore and be visible in this new community. best, jon ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
