[action required] Zope Contributor Agreement change

Hi all,

This is a last reminder for those current contributors to the Zope  
software repositories on svn.zope.org who have not sent in the new  
contributor agreement as outlined below. Please do so before June 26,  
otherwise your write access will be removed.

Thanks!

software repositories on svn.zope.org has recently been assigned
to the Zope Foundation, from the earlier copyright holder Zope

a joint copyright to Zope Corporation for any software checked
into svn.zope.org repositories. With the Zope Foundation taking
over these copyrights, the agreement with the contributors needs
to change so that the Zope Foundation is the joint copyright
holder for all new code coming into the repositories.

For you as a contributor this means you need to submit a new
contributor agreement[1] if you want to stay on as an active
contributor to Zope and/or the other software hosted in the
repositories on svn.zope.org. Here's how:

address on zope.org is not current. Anyone who has svn.zope.org  
checkin privileges and has not received personal email with the

OSCON 2009 Call For Participation ends Feb 3rd - No Zope proposals yet

Hi folks,

The deadline for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention Call For
Participation is Tuesday Feb 3rd.

OSCON will be held July 20-24 in San Jose, California.

As of today, there are no Zope-related proposals, so yours could have a
pretty good chance of acceptance. 

There have been a lot of exciting developments in the Zope world in the
past year, and I for one would really like Zope to get more public
exposure. So please, write up your proposals and submit them before the
deadline!

For more information, see
http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon

Cheers,

- Michael Bernstein

Zope 3.4.0 Released!

Hi everyone,

It is finally here! Thanks goes to everyone who involved!

January 29, 2009 - The Zope 3 development team announces the Zope 3.4.0 
release.

After 2 years of development, the Zope Foundation and the larger Zope
community is proud to announce the release of Zope 3.4.0.

The focus of the Zope 3.4 development effort has been the conversion from a
monolithic source tree, to a set of many small packages (eggs), that can be
used independently of each other. The core has been further stabilized through
numerous bug fixes, and many new add-on packages have been developed to
provide a richer development experience.

With this release also comes a renewed commitment to a short and reliable
release cycle of 6 months.

Packages and Eggs
-----------------

Zope 3 is now fully converted to an egg-based system. While some work still
remains, it integrates very well with the rest of the Python community. The
conversion to egg-based packaging also enables other Python developers to only
have to use small bits and pieces of the complete Zope software system. The
conversion means that Zope 3 developers do not use the classic Zope 3 tar-ball
release anymore. However, for your convenience, Zope 3 developers will provide
the classic Zope 3 tar ball releases for at least the 3.4 series and probably
for 3.5 as well.

zopeproject generated zope3 app and mod_wsgi

Hello there,

First off all, I don't have a blog so I'll be posting it here.

Yesterday I decided to setup a zopeproject generated app with mod_wsgi
and I would like to share my experience.
I am going to skip the part of setting up mod_wsgi with apache because
I think this very well documented.

My environment:

zopeproject generated app sitting at:

    /opt/zope3/app

using python located at:

    /usr/local

buildout-eggs located at:

   /opt/buildout-eggs

For testing purposes, I've added www.foo.com to my /etc/hosts so when
I tried to reach www.foo.com it would resolve to my local machine.

Then we have virtual hosting config (www.foo.com.config in my test case) :

z3c.widget/megrok.form character encoding

hello, 

i´m using megrok.form.fields.HTML field, which uses z3c.widget to render a tiny_mce editor. there
seems to be a problem with character encoding in some phase of the megrok.form.fields.HTML <> z3c.widget
<> tiny_mce interaction. 

if i include a word with a latin character, like "grabación", in the text i´m editing with the tiny_mce
editor, and save the form, the rendered html is displayed as "grabaci&oacute;n"

but i´m not having any success tracking down exactly where these characters get encoded. 

salud, 
kevin

TESTIMONIALS

"The training has better addressed our needs than any other that has
been offered. The key element that made it useful to us is that it
addressed Zope 3 technologies in relation to Plone. An area where good
documentation and tutorials are scarce to non-existent. The training
session is so practical and relevant to those trying to bridge the gap
from the Zope 2 world to Zope 3 and Plone 3." -Brent Lambert, Center

zope3 and zope.conf without the zodb

Let's move over to zope-dev

I think we have agreement (or an absense of anyone who is willing to  
publicly admit to disagree) to retire this list and move over to zope- 
dev.  Let's do so.  I'll wait a little while before trying to  
actively prevent posts here.  I suggest we let any existing threads  
run out and start new threads on zope-dev.
