Plone Hosting Question

hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a good hosting provider that, for example, uses  
buildout for plone/zope installation?  My current provider has so far  
refused to use it.  Thanks much.

Call for projectors

Hi all,

I need to borrow 2 more projectors for Plone Conference 2008. I'll need
them for the entire length of the training, conference and sprint
(probably), i.e. October 6-12. I promise to return them in good condition.
Can anyone help? If so please feel free to reply to the list or
contact me directly at aclark@...

Thanks,

Alex

Base Properties Question

Hi,

Is there a way, without the use of "SiteRoot" to force
sub-portals/folders of a Plone site to use it's own 'base_properties'?

For example, I want to have a root 'plonesite'.  Underneath, I have a
folder called 'foo' – which will be a portal, with different colors
for the buttons and a different logo/banner.  I can't use the
'SiteRoot' as I don't want the URLs to be anchored to that portal.
I'm sure there is a simple way to invoke this.  We also would like to
dynamically reference values of our banner image's "alt" and "title"
properties from the base_properties.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Plone 3 join_form bug

Hi,  list, do any of you encounter this problem on Plone 3.14 or 3.15?
 
When you go to yoursite.com/join_form, and register a user without sign in.
 
It immidiately sends you to
 
/acl_users/credentials_cookie_auth/require_login?came_from=http%3A//www.yoursite.com/join_form
 
So the users can't register themselves unless you login as site manager to do it.
 
I wonder if there is any place in ZMI that should be configurated for annoymous registration? I am looking all over and couldn't figure out. This is different than how it used to be on Plone 2.
 
If you know how to fix it, let me know. Many thanks,
 
Xueying

Short-term office desk

Hey list, ––

I'll be in Washington for the next one and a half months and I'd like
to inquire if any of you have a desk available in your
office/department that I could occupy (with due compensation of
course). Any location within the metropolitan area would be great.

OT: beer

Well, I suppose that beer, in and of itself, is rather *on*-topic for
this group.  But my request is not.

*Twice* I have attended a ZPUGDC meeting, and *twice* I have discussed
homebrewing with Ian, but *zero* times have I learned any means to
contact him.

So: a 22oz Octoberfest for anyone who can put us in touch.  Ian,
you're eligible for the prize, too :)

repoze.bfg tonight FTW!

Hi all,

Tonight, Chris McDonough: ex-Zope Corporation Luminary unveils his BFG
(Big ****ing Gun) which:

(excerpt from http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs/index.html)

- is a Python web application framework. 
- is inspired by Zope’s publisher, though it is less ambitious in scope. 
- relies heavily on Zope libraries and WSGI.

Woo Hoo! My favorite thing about repoze.bfg is: 

(excerpt from from http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs/narr/introduction.html#why)

- Familiarity: As web developers, we’ve become accustomed to working in 
    very particular ways (primarily using Zope 2) over the years. 
    This framework is a canonization of practices that “fit our brains”.

We are also celebrating approximately 1 month left until _Plone Conference 2008_ at
the Ronald Reagan Building in DC (and sprint at Arlington Career Center in VA).

See you tonight!
