Re: [Evangelism] Plone Magazine - a way to review the plethora of Plone add-ons and themes
Just if you did not recognized it in the past. The German ZopeNews Print magazine issue has a strong focus on Plone. It would be great if we can also have a second focus on Print-media derivatives from the same content! This is still great on fairs and in organisations. Feel fre to ask for aiding production processes.
