[boston-pig] Boston Plone Users Group: Repoze talk by Chris McDonough

[Nate Aune]

On February 28, Chris McDonough (http://plope.com) will travel from DC to
Boston to give a talk at the Boston Plone User Group about Repoze (
http://repoze.org), a very exciting middleware technology that brings Zope
technologies to the larger Python web development community by breaking Zope
up into pieces that fit into a WSGI deployment model.

See the meeting announcement here:

In order to fund Chris' travel expenses and invite future out-of-town
speakers to present at the Boston Plone User Group, we need to kindly ask
you to pay your annual membership dues of $25. There is a convenient PayPal
form you can use here:
http://plone.meetup.com/1/paypal/pay/?fee=group&returnUri=http://plone.meetup.com/1

If you are not a member of the Boston Plone User Group, we invite you to
join today!  The annual membership fee of $25 (approx. $2/meeting) is quite
reasonable when you consider the learning and networking opportunities that
come out of attending the meetings. By paying your membership dues, it makes
it possible for us to bring other guest speakers to future user group
meetings.

For a sneak preview, here is a video of Chris' and Tres' talk in Atlanta and
their slides:

This is a great opportunity to hear about this very powerful technology from
some of the brightest minds in the Zope/Plone community. Chris and Tres have
been touring around the country evangelizing this open source middleware,
and now's your chance to see them in Boston.

Thanks in advance for your support!
