Re: Re: [Evangelism] World Plone Day 2009
I'll add my Saturday morning two bits to an already over-constrained problem: My company has a 9-80 work schedule (9 days, 80 hrs, every-other Friday off). We miss half the company by having WPD on a Friday. Of course this doesn't apply to the city as a whole if we expand our ABQ outreach. Since we're an older demographic, WPD will not likely spill over into the after-work hours. I'd be perfectly happy with Wednesday. One more thought: Budapest is 28 Oct. and backing up precisely 6 months gets us 28 Apr. -- Karl I would recommend late April or very early May. Why? Because universities typically have graduation the first weekend in May, after which a large part of the audience for WPD scatters to the winds until fall. ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/World-Plone-Day-2009-tp1664833p1681982.html Sent from the Evangelism mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
Re: [Evangelism] World Plone Day 2009
Hi Roberto, I tend to think that scheduling the event so close after the Conference is putting a lot of pressure on Plone companies already preparing for the Conference. I would like to see a two month lag in between the two events. g -- S i x F e e t U p , I n c . | Nowhere to go but open source Direct Line: +1 (317) 861-5948 x601 Toll-Free: 1-866-SIX-FEET gabrie...@sixfeetup.com http://www.sixfeetup.com | Zope/Plone Custom Development On Dec 16, 2008, at 3:43 PM, Roberto Allende wrote: Hello Although we are doing the wpd2008 postmorten, we can start to talk about date for wpd2009.

It takes a lot of cat herding just to get the Plone people in my area to go to Plone Conference. Then they come back from conference and are immediately asked to participate in putting on a local event. It makes the people in my local Plone community feel like some people think Plone is the only thing in life. Plone is supposed to help them do their jobs, not *be* their jobs. Plus, just as a report, WPD was three days after the general elections in the U.S.. Plone people on the whole are usually very aware and active sorts. That means lots of us in the U.S. were working our asses off trying to get a good election turnout while preparations for WPD were just kind of phoned-in. And it showed. In my area had a WPD with the same 15 people who come to everything Plone related around here. I would suggest some time completely opposite of Plone Conference and holiday season. I would suggest sometime in the early spring. It could get people excited about Plone in a timeframe right before the season when there are usually a lot of Plone training events and symposia and leading up to Plone Conference. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 ___ Evangelism mailing list Evangelism@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism

I, too, am not one who writes press releases and in fact don't have a clear idea of what the next step is. Hopefully Nate or Mark or someone else knowledgeable will come to our rescue. :-) I'm not the most knowledgeable about writing press releases either, but I'm cc'ing Mark, Virginia and Constance on this email in hopes that they can look it over and provide some suggestions. http://www.diigo.com/annotated/9fdb698e2696b74ab86f2c4468a316a7 I agree we should get this out soon as it's been almost a month since the event. I sent out another request to the WPD organizers asking them to update the spreadsheet with the numbers, so hopefully we'll get an accurate count of the worldwide attendance and can include that in the news announcement / press release. thanks, Nate Graham Perrin wrote: Hi ... suggestions in sticky notes at http://www.diigo.com/annotated/9fdb698e2696b74ab86f2c4468a316a7.

Re: [Evangelism] World Plone Day 2008
Graham, Very cool online sticky notes at diigo. Thanks for introducing it to me. I was spelling out numbers ten and under except at the beginning of a sentence, but I agree, its probably a country-specific matter. You are correct about Vietnam. Interestingly, our colleague from there spelled the city as Ha Noi, but that appears to be westernized to Hanoi in North America and Europe. Don't know about France, though, because Hà Nội is the transliteration I see in Wikipedia. The placement of the URLs ahead of the link is an interesting artifact of embedded links here. Compare with the version in http://plonemetrics.blogspot.com/2008/11/world-plone-day-after-action-report.html my blog to see what I thought would appear. You are correct, though, in that they should be true hyperlinks or else parenthetical after the term in question. Along those lines (and I've seen it suggested elsewhere in the Plone marketing notes), we should have an elevator speech for each sector-specific category--business, education, science, government, NGOs, etc. In most cases I just linked to the appropriate support forum. Plonegov.org is a great example of what we should aspire to for each of these sectors. Your other edits are all well considered and I would recommend anyone using this release to make those changes. Some of the improvements you suggest are to text copied directly from plone.org. I suggest that the marketing community look into reflecting those enhancements back into the core material. I, too, am not one who writes press releases and in fact don't have a clear idea of what the next step is. Hopefully Nate or Mark or someone else knowledgeable will come to our rescue. :-) Cheers, Karl Graham Perrin wrote: Hi ... suggestions in sticky notes at http://www.diigo.com/annotated/9fdb698e2696b74ab86f2c4468a316a7.

Re: [Evangelism] World Plone Day 2008
How's this for a start? Feel free to edit heavily and/or translate. Those with good contacts in the media, kindly distribute this or other information before WPD becomes last week's news. Thanks. _ News flash! With 66% of the event sites reporting in, the first http://plone.org/events/wpd World Plone Day can claim success. Friday 7 November was http://plone.org/events/wpd World Plone Day , a coordinated worldwide series of meetups, seminars, and workshops. Events were scheduled from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Hanoi, Viet Nam with a healthy representation in North America and Europe. Truly an international day of Plone, 30 countries on five continents were involved. http://plone.org/about/plone/ Plone is a ready-to-run, open source content management system that is built on the powerful and free Zope application server. Plone is easy to set up, extremely flexible, and provides you with a system for managing web content that is ideal for project groups, communities, web sites, extranets and intranets. Forty of the 61 registered venues have reported in, showing a total of 982 participants who listened to 107 presenters. Extrapolating to those sites that have yet to record their guest count, perhaps 1500 participants world wide were engaged in learning about Plone. Over 40 companies sponsored events throughout the globe, which were sanctioned by the not-for-profit http://plone.org/foundation Plone Foundation , the legal owner of the Plone codebase, trademarks, and domain names. Activities ranged from small, informal gatherings with ad hoc presentations to large, formal sessions with a half dozen presentations, refreshments, and door prizes. Brasilia, Brazil had the largest event with 128 attendees. Events were tied together in more than enthusiasm for Plone--live blogging, Twitter, and streaming video were all used to interconnect participants. World Plone Day is anticipated to become an annual event to advocate the benefits of using Plone in http://plone.org/support/for/edu/ education , http://www.plonegov.org/ government , http://plone.org/support/for/nonprofits/ non-profit/non-governmental organizations , and http://plone.org/support/for/enterprise/ business .
