With all the Zope 3 work I'm getting these days, I can't really contribute
much to
Plone or do customer work with it
anymore. But I still love attending their get-togethers. Doesn't matter
whether it's the Snow Sprint high up in the Alps or a conference in Vienna,
Seattle or Naples - you always know you're in for endless loads of
fun.
This year's conference starts this coming Wednesday. Looking at the agenda,
I find an interesting recurring theme (among many others) that we haven't
had at a Plone conference before: Looking over the fence and learning from
others.
For instance, there's Andy McKay's talk
What Plone can learn from Rails on Friday. On Wednesday, we have
Lennart Regebro's talk about
What Zope did wrong (and what to do instead). And then there's my
talk on Thursday called
Plone Age, in which I will look at lessons learned from other
(Python) web frameworks, as well as recent developments in the Zope 3
scene.
With these and all the other fantastically sounding talks in the agenda, I
can't hardly wait to get to Naples!
