Not enough hours in the day and sketchy connection
Didn’t have connection in the hotel last night and gave up in exhaustion dealing with the technical support folks. Finally just crashed out. Looks like it’s back this morning so I’m going to make a few notes from last night before I head over to see the State of Plone keynote.
I ended up attending a Birds of a Feather session for Plone trainers thrown by Joel Burton. It was a great connection and people had wonderful insight about training various skill level sets in Plone. There’s going to be a mailing list for trainers through Plone.org to continue the discussion.
Talked briefly to Alan of Enfold Systems. He recommended we do a Plone / Jive integration with LDAP hookups for DBAzine. He said this would work even with our big CMFMember mess but would just take some work and a bit of pick and choose around info we are gathering in CMF Member. Since this isn’t really the kind a thing three front end developers are prone to doing, we’d need to get QG to help us out if we did this. Frankly I’m not sure I’d put this kind of energy into a site that’s still on 2.0.5 which is showing itself to be vastly outdated.
Alan also mentioned that they did a Plone / WordPress implementation for a company and offered to do a demo. Hope I can track him down today or tomorrow. The conference is packed so full it’s hard to have meeting time with people.
Anyways… running late this a.m. and have to get over to see Limi speak. More later if the conference connection holds up. (There were problems yesterday.)
