Interest in a one-day business conference for Python, Zope and Plone companies ?

Hello,

eGenix is looking into organizing a one day conference
specifically for companies doing business with Python, Zope and
Plone. The conference will likely be held in or close to
Düsseldorf, Germany, which is lively medium-sized city, with good
airport connections world-wide and specifically to all major
European  cities, so it's easy getting there and ideal for a one
day event.

The focus of the conference is on networking, meeting people,
exchanging experience and exploring ways of working together.

We are aiming at having a small conference program with just a few
talks. The main intent of the presentations should be to initiate
discussions among the attendees.

Since this will be a business-only event, we will likely get
professional help from a conference organizer and also try to
sign up with a hotel to do all the catering, conference room
maintenance, etc.

My questions to you:

* Would there be interest in such a conference event ?
* How many people from your company would likely attend ?
* Would a weekday or weekend conference date be more attractive ?
* Does the focus suit your needs ?

We will be giving a short presentation of what we have in mind

ANN: A STOMP messaging broker in pure Python (GPLv3)

This is the first announcement of a release of Sprinkle, a messaging
broker written in Python.

    http://www.thuswise.org/sprinkle/index.html

Sprinkle implements the STOMP protocol

   http://stomp.codehaus.org/

Sprinkle is very simple and lightweight. I believe it is fully
functional, but I need help testing it so I can make it suitable for
an enterprise environment. In this early phase, you can get Sprinkle
as a development snapshot: sprinkle-2007-07-01.

Asynchronous messaging is receiving renewed interest from developers.
Let's give Python a simple, effective, and trusted messaging solution.

The code is distributed under version 3 of the GPL, and runs on Unix-
like platforms. Python 2.3.4 or later is required.

itools 0.16.1 released

itools is a Python library, it groups a number of packages into a single
meta-package for easier development and deployment:

   itools.catalog        itools.i18n             itools.tmx
   itools.cms            itools.ical             itools.uri
   itools.csv            itools.odf              itools.vfs
   itools.datatypes      itools.pdf              itools.web
   itools.gettext        itools.rest             itools.workflow
   itools.handlers       itools.rss              itools.xhtml
   itools.html           itools.schemas          itools.xliff
   itools.http           itools.stl              itools.xml

This is (mostly) a bug fix release:

  - The command line tool "rsync" is not required anymore.

  - Indexing of XML documents (like web pages) works again.

  - Now itools.web supports X_FORWARDED_PROTO, what makes possible to
    deploy web applications behind Apache (or another web server) using
    the HTTPS protocol.

  - Now itools.xml is able to serialize documents with CDATA sections.

  - In itools.stl the repeat variables "repeat/x/index", "repeat/x/start"
    and "repeat/x/end" work again.

  - The method "set_handler" works now when the container is a virtual
    handler.

ANNOUNCE: PyGTK 2.10.5

I am pleased to announce the stable version 2.10.5 of the Python bindings
for GTK+.

The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org and its mirrors
as soon as its synced correctly:

     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.10/

Blurb:

GTK+ is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run on
systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It provides a comprehensive set
of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text.  It links into the Gnome
Accessibility Framework through the ATK library.

PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK+ library for use in
Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as
managing memory and type casting.  When combined with PyORBit and
gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

Like the GTK+ library itself PyGTK is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is
suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications.  It
is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose
scripts up to large full features applications.

What's new since 2.10.4 ?
  - Do access private GtkTooltip member tips_data_list, fixes build
    against Gtk+ 2.11.x (Johan)
  - Allow None to gtk_rc_get_style_by_paths (Mariano Suarez-Alvarez)
  - Fix defs file inconsistencies (Andrew Cowie)

ANN: Ophelia 0.3 - Create web sites from TAL templates

Ophelia 0.3 has just been released.

Ophelia creates XHTML pages from templates written in TAL, the Zope Tag
Attribute Language. It is designed to reduce code repetition to zero.

The package contains both a WSGI application running Ophelia as well as a
request handler for mod_python, the Python module for the Apache2 web
server. Additionally, a script is included that renders a page and dumps
it to stdout, and another one that runs a wsgiref based HTTP server
hosting Ophelia's WSGI application.

Ophelia is released under the Zope Public License, version 2.1.

To use Ophelia 0.3, you need Python 2.4. The mod_python request handler
requires mod_python 3.3 or better.

The package is available from the Python package index as a source
distribution and a Python 2.4 egg:
<http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/ophelia>

The source code contains a zc.buildout configuration for an environment
including Apache and mod_python.

You can access the source code repository at
<https://svn.thomas-lotze.de/repos/public/Ophelia/>, browse it using
ViewCVS at
<http://svn.thomas-lotze.de/svn-public/Ophelia/>, or visit Ophelia's web
page, containing a commented live usage example, at
<http://www.thomas-lotze.de/en/software/ophelia/>.
