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
