Plone Conference
Plone Conference 2006, the fourth annual worldwide conference of folks using, developing or just-plain-interested-in-learning-more-about Plone. As previously we announced, this is a major event in the Plone community and will be the hub of activity and deep knowledge. We strongly encourage you to consider attending if you use or are thinking of using Plone. Surrounding the conference will be other community activities, including trainings and a sprint.Plone Conference 2006 will be held October 25-27 in beautiful Seattle, Washington, USA, at the Seattle Center's Northwest Rooms, and will feature three full days of talks, tutorials and workshop sessions featuring Plone users, integrators and developers from around the world and just across town.
There's going to be a lot of nonprofit-oriented content at Plone Conference 2006, given that OneNW, a nonprofit technology assistance provider and ifPeople's partner in the LearnPlone end-user documentation project, is the conference organizer. Sessions for folks who are new to Plone, thinking about using Plone for a project, or are delivering Plone-powered projects to clients will be varied and cover new content. So, if youre not already a Plone expert, thats not a problem. In fact, youre exactly who were designing the Plone Confernece for!
And the conference is just the beginning -- or more accurately, the middle -- of a full week of Plone community fun! Just before the conference, there will be three different two-day Plone training classes, and the two days following the conference will feature a weekend-long "code and community projects sprint" which will bring together Plone developers and community members for an intensive weekend of small-group coding and project work.
