Arguably even more so in open source - egos matter. Anyway we did some evangelizing of BFG at the Plone Conference and I'm going to do my best to make sure the Zope is better represented at next year's Europython.

It would be unfortunate if talks about the framework that seems to generate the majority of traffic on the various RSS planets, and has arguably the largest *committer* community was omitted due to reviewer fiat. > I was unfortunately on a Plane during the last meeting yesterday, back > home from the PloneConf, so I wasn't on that meeting, but what I > gather from todays emails and the stats on the talks site, the > situation has been ameliorated, so there will be at least some Zope > talks, I think.

Another way to avoid this in the future besides joining the committee would be for notable members of the Zope community to reach out on a regular (daily) basis to other Python-using communities. Offer them well-documented software, visit their sprints and conferences, try their alphas, join their IRC channels, participate in their maillists and so on. It's harder to do intercommunity politics daily in this way as opposed to "facing off" yearly, but it will have a higher, more lasting payoff. It's "who you know", not "what you know" unfortunately, even in open source, as much as we like to believe in meritocracy. - C ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
