Re: [EuroPython] moving forward -- IRC meeting 7th March?
Nicolas, As I wrote, I proposed to switch from CPS (that I do not know) to Plone (that I know enough to work with, as wrote another person from the list too). I won't debate on that further than to let know that I can help if EP uses Plone and would not if it does not. As I counted the votes, there was absolute agreement: change to whatever fits your needs. My understanding was that the "switch to Plone" was decided, as nobody contradicted. It was also decided to try to use ZEO below that Zope which is below that Plone. What else has to happen? Who can make that "else" happen so you can start using Plone?

Re: [EuroPython] website hosting / moving forward...
Hi Nicholas / List, There are a couple of specialist zope / plone companies you could approach or we (TeleMedic Systems) have a spare server we could let europython use in return for a sponsor credit... the advantage to the later is I would have 24/7 physical access to the box and we would have a complete server to play with I've done plone installs in the past (we use plone fairly heavily internally) but have never used ZEO so may need a little advice on that (seeing as how europython seems to be part eurozope these days surely there is someone with some experience of this to advise, when I get stuck ;-) the only outstanding issue is integration with Indico (if thats whats being used this year) and the payment system... My apologies but I can't make the IRC meet tomorrow (I'll be on a plane) and will be off the grid for the next week (all bar my mobile) but I'll touch base with you all when I get back... Hoping we can help take this forward. Matt (sorry if your getting this twice nicholas, python.org doesn't seem to like out SMTP server!!)

Re: [EuroPython] website hosting / moving forward...
Matt, for my eyes this looks beautifull. There are a couple of specialist zope / plone companies you could approach or we (TeleMedic Systems) have a spare server we could let europython use in return for a sponsor credit... the advantage to the later is I would have 24/7 physical access to the box and we would have a complete server to play with that's especially nice since we also need to install Indico on that server. Did I understand correctly, that for sponsor credit TeleMedic will "lent" that server & connection to EuroPython, and you can take care of installing the Z-app-stack and Plone, so Nicolas is able to put everything upwards to live? So, I vote for that solution with everything I can vote for :) Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Reinsburgstraße 202b 70197 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 fx 01212-5-13695179 - Python: the only language with more web frameworks than keywords. ___ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

However, I stand by what I wrote before about having the site ready very soon - such a switch may be a delaying factor, and I don't really think we have very long before the visibility of the conference has to be increased, talk submissions solicited, and so on. > I've done plone installs in the past > (we use plone fairly heavily internally) but have never used ZEO so may > need a little advice on that (seeing as how europython seems to be part > eurozope these days surely there is someone with some experience of this > to advise, when I get stuck ;-) the only outstanding issue is > integration with Indico (if thats whats being used this year) and the > payment system... Note that Indico does "E-Payment" in the registration now (see the 3rd August 2006 update): http://cdsware.cern.ch/indico/news.html I see that EuroPython has to use its own Indico server this time around: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2006-August/006119.html And I suppose the details of the 2006 conference will remain where they are for the foreseeable future. I guess the details of previous conferences are archived somewhere. > My apologies but I can't make the IRC meet tomorrow (I'll be on a plane) > and will be off the grid for the next week (all bar my mobile) but I'll > touch base with you all when I get back... > > Hoping we can help take this forward. Within my own time constraints (which are hopefully fairly slack) I'm happy to work on either CPS or Plone, and I can do this more or less immediately. I would like to know what the concrete reasons for a switch are, however. Are we actually planning more functionality or do people just dislike CPS? Will the current hosting go away? Are the people wanting to switch actually going to work on content? If people have "PyCon envy" (nice schedule pop-ups which has me chasing them around in one of my browsers before they disappear) it's arguably getting quite late to think about developing fancy conference software even though it's all supposedly so easy in Python. A perusal of this thread may be instructive: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2006-January/005562.html Remember that this discussion took place a bit earlier last year and ended up settling on using the same software again (in an uneasy silence).

[EuroPython] Use of pictures for The Python Papers and EuroPython 2007
I forward herewith a positive answer from Host Jens about the use of pictures of EP2006 he made and posted to flickr. Thanks to him and for the ideas to use them to Paul. I'll start using some of them and some others text to build a short presentation text that could be used in Python Papers to speak about EP2007; please come and check in the wiki at http://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython2007/ArticleForPythonPapers Nicolas -- Forwarded message -- From: Horst JENS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 7 mars 2007 06:10 Subject: Re: [EuroPython] The Python Papers and EuroPython 2007 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, you can use all my pictures i uploaded on flickr. (Horstjens). I also wrote some posting with personal impressions from the Europython2006 ... it is in german, i can do you a translation if you find it interesting. http://www.python-forum.de/topic-6445.html My picture should be on flickr too or take the picture from the attachment. This email has nothing to do with the email i wrote about "please review my python from kids tutorial videos at www.showmedo.com", right ?
