Additional spots available at doccom sprint
Google, host of the doccom sprint in June, has made available more spots for participants. If you are interested to participate in the documentation or commerce (GetPaid) sprint, please sign up soon!
There is an important Plone sprint coming up and the community is seeking sponsors (great perks! [1]) and sprinters (in person and remote) for the "doccom" sprint, June 25-29. The site will be at Google's headquarters in California. There are two topics:
- Documentation (to ensure that Plone 3.0 is released with full documentation), and
- Commerce, to achieve a new version of the product GetPaid that makes payment processing and commerce simple and flexible in Plone. [2]
Regarding documentation, this is something that benefits everyone! As you know, Plone has been changing very fast, and the pending release of Plone 3.0 represents a radical shift in the technology and how people will develop for it. Documentation is needed now more than ever. Please consider supporting the sprint either financially [3] or with your participation.
For more on the sprint, please check out: http://plone.org/events/sprints/doc-ecommerce
You can see a list of interested attendees (and sign up!) at http://www.openplans.org/projects/doc-and-e-commerce-sprint/interested-attendees
Hope to see you online or at Googleplex!
[1] Sponsor levels include free training! PloneBootCamps and the intro trainings from 7TechNorthwest. See
http://plone.org/events/sprints/doc-ecommerce for the full breakdown.
[2] Plone commerce has a long and painful history, which we are trying to change with a product called GetPaid (and PloneGetPaid), which leverages Zope3 technologies and will be useful in Plone 2.5. This product was begun at the BBQSprint and has its first release scheduled for June 1, and second release after the doccom sprint.
[3] Financial support makes sure the great sprinters have food, shelter, and fun during the time they spend helping make the Plone community stronger (and btw, they are donating their time...).
