Upcoming Events

If you are on the American continent, you must get a free exhibits-only pass and attend the Linux World Expo January 31st / February 2nd, New York. If you are in Europe you must attend the EuroZopeCon January 23 and 24, Amsterdam.

A true Zopatista would visit both.

Train for the Revolution

Zopatista! Are you getting skewered because some PHB is making nervous-noises about Zope? Tell them that they could take any of their employees, and send them to kaivo to train in Python with Mark Lutz, author of Learning Python. Then, the employee could train in Zope Zen Finally, they could have that employee work on Zope for three years -- or, for about the same price, they could buy a shrink-wrapped content management system.

Summary

Zope 2.3 beta 2 release coming soon

Recent News

Zope 2.3 beta 1 was released last week - so far there have been only relatively minor issues. Beta 2 may come as early as Friday the 19th, with fixes to the current known issues. We hope to get 2.3 finalized by the 29 of January.

Action in the Fishbowl has still been pretty slow since the holidays. High on the priority list after the 2.3 release is to pay some attention to organizing the dev.zope.org site.

Amos is on vacation, gorging himself no-doubt on French Fries, French Bread, and French Dressing. I love French cuisine.

Everything I'm working on is secret this week. Sorry. Some great book news is on its way so stay tuned! I guess I should throw in at least one link to something quite useful.
