West Coast Sprint @ UCLA - August 27, 28, and 29, 2010

Greetings!

Some of you might have already heard about the "West Coast Sprint" that the LA Plone Users Group is hosting in Los Angeles on August 27, 28, and 29, 2010 at UCLA. For more detailed information about this event please see:


The exact times have not yet been set in stone, but the core days of sprinting will be on Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29 from 9am - ???

For those of you who can make it down here by mid-afternoon or early-evening on Friday, August 27, we are hoping to get together on the UCLA Campus and do some short intro sessions on the following topics to prepare for the Sprint:
  • How to use SVN
  • How to package products properly for distribution on PyPi and Plone.org
  • How to use XDV (for theming)
Afterwards, we plan to go out for dinner and drinks.

Some of the suggested topics for the sprint are:
  • Theming - Using XDV to port over some popular themes related to Education, Government, Non-Profits, etc...
  • Breaking in Plone (Training Issues & Example Content Kits) - So you have an awesome PLONE instance set up and a slick template in place ... now what? Topics and help kits to help you commence the test-drive while keeping your community of "content contributors" happy and your site in-tact.
  • FacultyStaffDirectory Profile Cleaner - An extender for FSD that makes the Person objects more user-friendly. It would hide/clean-up some of the unneeded options for ordinary users.
  • Ploneboard Bonus Pack - Create an extender to add additional functionality to Ploneboard and/or PloneboardNotify.
If you'd like editing rights to the Sprint section of our website, please contact us info <at> laplone.org

Don't be shy... Some of us are completely new to Sprints in general! This is a great opportunity to meet other Plone Developers/Users as well as give back to the open source community. 

If you have any suggestions or are willing to assist in any way, please do let us know.

Regards,

LA Plone Users Group

let's hook up! :)

heya *,

since our two sprints will take place in parallel, david and i figured it'd be nice to sort of hook them up a
bit.  timezones will almost make it possible to sprint around the clock — in fact i guess that'll be easy
enough —, and we could both use the #sprint channel together for some extra fun and following the other's progress.

but most importantly, we think we should make sure to set up a permanent video connection.  not to the outside
world, but only between the sprint locations.  an imac in one corner of the room on each end and running
skype/ichat should probably already do the trick...  it should be fun to be able to just walk over to it and
chat with folks from the other sprint, discuss stuff or just randomly wave at each other.  and it shouldn't
be too tricky to organize a spare imac (or pc + tft for that matter) for each team, right? :)  what do you think?

cheers,

andi

Banjo sprint at PloneConf?

Hello all,

I would like to hear if anyone is interested in sprinting on Banjo at the at the Ploneconf sprint. My goals are to:


1) improve the CSS selector interface possibly using http://www.selectorgadget.com/

2) improve the interface for managing the rules that have been created possibly using jqGrid http://trirand.com/jqgrid/jqgrid.html

3) enable the writing to disk of the rules.xml file. This should be fairly easy to do, since we can just hook into the mechanism already provided by Deliverance itself. See the save_file, save_create and edit_file methods in http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/deliverance/trunk/deliverance/editor/editorapp.py

4) Set up a live demo instance of Banjo, in which evaluators can type in the URL of their source in one pane, and the URL of their destination in the other pane, and then use Banjo to map content from the source into placeholders in the destination. Show in the preview pane the resulting output.

Ideally, we're looking for people who have jQuery/javascript skills and Python programming skills. If you will be at the conference, and want to help work on Banjo, please let me know.

thanks,
Nate

Thanks for catching that error. Would you mind committing the fix?

I don't believe Banjo has advanced to the point of saving rules yet, but I may be wrong. I've mostly run out of free time to work on Banjo, so I'm in the process of trying to dig up some javascript folks to take up the slack.

Hi again,

after investigating a bit more i found the problem:
With this little snippet it works....
It seems that without the <div id="container"> it does not work.

<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
  <h1 id="title"> This is my Title </h1>

So now if i click on *This is my Title* i get this nice popup... (Nice so far).

But it seems that the rules are not saved... so digging into this... ;)

Thanks for your help...

  • Clicking on next step button do all the microsteps of the current step.
  • Load the js stuff only if the tour is running.

Video Sprint - Budapest 2009

EngageMedia is pleased to announce a Plone Video sprint at this years 
Plone Conference in Budapest, Hungary. The 4 day sprint will be an 
opportunity for developers to collaborate on open video technologies 
around the Plone CMS. The sprint will take place from 31st October 2009 
to 3rd November 2009, directly after the conference.

Online video has exploded in recent years, being a major source of the 
“web 2.0” boom. YouTube, Yahoo Video and other video sharing spaces have 
been celebrated for making major advances in facilitating citizen media. 
Despite their success however there are many limitations to these 
proprietary platforms. The ability to host and manage your own content 
using FOSS tools is essential for independent media organisations and 
non-profits.

Topics and Aims
The aims for the sprint are the following

* Increased communication and collaboration between Python, Zope and
Plone developers working in the area of open video technologies.

* Direct improvement of key video technologies and the video feature
set available in the Plone CMS so as to increase uptake and
improve those sites already implementing Plone video technologies.

* Improved the ease of use, install and set up of Plumi via
technical and documentation enhancements, opening it up to a
broader set of users and contributors.

* Increased skill set among sprint participants regarding how to
implement and develop with the Plumi CMS and for video
technologies more generally in the Plone CMS.

* Increase the community of developers working on Plone and video and
their effectiveness.

We will be guided by a professional facilitator (Gunner from Aspiration 
- http://www.aspirationtech.org/) to help the group focus on priorities. 
Broadly we aim to work on the following topic areas: building a shared 
roadmap for video on Plone, working on key technical needs such as large 
file handling, transcoding and bittorrent support, improving support for 
FOSS video codecs, publishing and viewing content with mobile devices, 
bug fixing existing video related Plone collective products and 
improving documentation.

Participating
EngageMedia has a very limited number of travel subsidies to offer to 
activists and NGO developers based on need. When you contact us, please 
also let us know by September 6th if you want to be considered for a 
travel subsidy.

The Plone Video sprint has limited number of places, and you will need 
to register, and please indicate how long for the 4 days you can stay. 
We have a preference for people to stay for the entire 4 days. Please 
add yourself to the team at
http://www.coactivate.org/projects/plone-video-sprint/request-membership
and email contact@...

Regards
The EngageMedia team

Paris Bobun Sprint #2 at Google HQ : getting Open Social into Plone

Dear all,

Pilot Systems and Google are pleased to announce the second Paris Bobun 
Sprint, which will take place at the Google Paris HQ, from wednesday, 
november the 26th to sunday, november the 30th, 2008.

The goal of this sprint is to enable Plone as an Open Social container, 
allowing any Plone site to host Open Social applications (also nicknamed 
"gadgets", or "boxes", since those applications tend to be enclosed in a 
well-delimited box of a social network website).

Q: What is Open Social?
A: It is a specification written by a group of social networks (Orkut, 
Hi5, Friendster, Viadeo, LinkedIn, among others), allowing developers to 
write applications (aka gadgets) which will work on any Open Social 
enabled network. See [1] and [2] for more detailed informations.

Q: Wait, what is a "social application"?
A: It is a web-based application, embedded into a social network. For 
instance, Facebook applications are social applications. However, we are 
targetting more business-oriented applications there.

Q: Do you want to build a social network with Plone?
A: Yes and no. Not one like Facebook, Orkut or LinkedIn, of course. But 
the concepts of social networks can easily be translated to Plone 
websites, especially collaborative tools like Intranets and CMS.

Q: What are those concepts and how to you want to apply them to Plone 
applications?
A: Open Social applications can basically get 3 kinds of information : 
who is the user (and what are his attributes, like name, age, etc), who 
are his friends or groups (links in the social network), and what he has 
been doing lately (as an "activity stream" conceptually similar to a RSS 
feed). Applications can also post events in this "activity stream". In a 
Plone-based CMS, you can (for instance) dynamically create groups based 
on the users who did edit (or change state) of a document ; and you can 
make up an activity stream based on who did view/edit/whatever documents 
in the web site.

Q: How is that useful?
A: Most Open Social applications are funny, but not very 
business-oriented. Our target are not the "poke your friend the werewolf 
to turn him into a zombie vampire" applications (although you could 
embed them alright). We would rather see applications able to compose 
useful information from the activity stream, or present them in a more 
useful way - for instance, showing recent edits of a document in a tag 
cloud.

Q: I want to get involved, how can I help?
A: We are looking for developers, but also for people to test, document, 
and of course actually use Open Social in Plone. We also would like to 
join forces with the Plone Social Networking group [3]. As usual in the 
communauty, everyone can help. Feel free ton contact 
pbs2@..., or to get in touch with jpetazzo on #pbs2 on 
Freenode. (PBS2 stands for Paris Bobun Sprint, 2nd edition, in case you 
were wondering.)

Q: I am familiar with Plone internals, and this stuff sounds cool ; and 
I want to come and join the sprint!
A: Great! We will be very happy to have you in the team. Since Google 
can only host a finite amount of coders, please get in touch with 
jerome.petazzoni@... (or jpetazzo on Freenode) to book a 
seat for the sprint itself.
