One lightning talk I was going to give at Europython, but ran out of time was showing how quick and easy it is to install Plone for python developers. I recorded it as a screencast and showing how you can go from just plain python2.6 install to an up and running Plone 4 install in under 3 minutes! http://www.screencast.com/users/MattJHamilton/folders/Jing/media/596b71e3-edb2-4150-976a-fb7c746690b7 -Matt -- Matt Hamilton ma...@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.

The Python programmers did not get it. I gave Plone talk at pycon australia recently called "Plone for python programmers" and really tried to focus on that issue of CMS vs web framework. It seemed to go down well. I also concentrated on simple ways to get started and explaining the reasons behind the architecture.

[Evangelism] PyCon Ireland 2010
Hi, I did a broad Plone talk for PyCon Ireland 2010. It was well attended (30+) (due to scheduling issues - it was the only talk on). I had three people with projects who expressed an interest in Plone. Two of the projects were currently in other CMS's and were experiencing internationalisation problems (django CMS or something similar and drupal). The third project was a trivial web-site project - the problem is getting cheap hosting rather than whether it can be done in Plone. The biggest stumbling block in the talk was explaining what a CMS is rather than what Plone is. The Python programmers did not get it.

[Evangelism] PyCon Ireland -
We are running a Python Conference in Ireland on 17th July 2010. It is a one day conference (Saturday) followed by One day of sprints (Sunday). Is anyone interested in giving a talk on Plone (or any python related subject)? If nobody is interested/available, I will do a talk on Plone 4, but it would be better if someone with more credibility made a presentation. Conference details here: http://www.python.ie/pyconireland/ Thanks, Kevin Gill ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
