[boston-pig] EVENT: Plone Conference 2006 - October 25-27 - Seattle, WA

[Jon Stahl]

Dear Friends-



I'm pleased to officially announce and invite you to join us for  
Plone Conference 2006, the fourth annual worldwide conference of  
folks using, developing or just-plain-interested-in-learning-more- 
about Plone*.

(*Plone is a powerful and easy-to-use open-source content management  
system that is really quite fantastic for building and maintaining  
nonprofit websites with rich content management, collaboration and  
community-building features.)



Plone Conference 2006 will be held October 25-27 in beautiful  
Seattle, Washington, USA, at the Seattle Center's Northwest Rooms,  
and will feature three full days of talks, tutorials and workshop  
sessionsfeaturing Plone users, integrators and developers from around  
the world and just across town.



There's going to be a TON of nonprofit-oriented content at Plone  
Conference 2006, because that's what happens when the conference is  
put on by a nonprofit technology assistance provider!  :-)



We're focusing on developing sessions for folks who are new to Plone,  
thinking about using Plone for a project, or are delivering Plone- 
powered projects to clients.  So, if you’re not already a Plone  
expert, that’s not a problem.   In fact, you’re exactly who  
we’re designing the Plone Confernece for!



Some of the highlights of Plone Conference 2006 will include:

What Makes Plone Different And Better
Why Plone? Confessions of an NGO
Graduating from Spaghetti to Sushi: Plone For PHPers
High Performance Plone: Caching
Plone Mashups: Connecting with Web 2.0
A Sneak Peek at Plone 3.0
Case study panels
Plone and nonprofits
Plone and government organizations
Plone and scientific organizations
Plone and educational institutions
Plone and large enterprises
(The Plone Conference 2006 Program Team is currently evaluating over  
45 session proposals from the Plone community, and we'll be  
announcing additional talks over the next few weeks.)



The cost? you ask.  A mere $250 -- if you register by August 25th.   
(After that, $300).

And the conference is just the beginning -- or more accurately, the  
middle -- of a full week of Plone community fun!   Just before the  
conference, there will be three different two-day Plone training  
classes,and the two days following the conference will feature a  
weekend-long "code and community projects sprint" which will bring  
together Plone developers and community members for an intensive  
weekend of small-group coding and project work.



On behalf of all of the folks in the Plone community who are working  
hard to bring you a fun, exciting and educational conference, I'm  
looking forward to seeing lots of you in Seattle.





best,

jon
