The No-Fun ZopeSkel BBQ Sprint

cbc — 2009-10-02T13:00:00Z

A highly focused, planned, and organized, very small, no-fun, no-cost, all-business sprint to improve ZopeSkel usability for Plone themers, integrators, and new developers. The primary goal is to improve ZopeSkel infrastructure rather than to create new ZopeSkel templates. This may result in a ZopeSkel wrapper product code-named Button. This sprint is not invite-only, however, we are not looking for a large group or side-projects. We, in fact, are specifically discouraging side-projects of any kind--the purpose of this sprint is solely to accomplish a pre-determined task list assembled by the sprint organizers. This would not be a good sprint for someone looking to learn more about Plone site-building or product-development per se, since the technologies we're working with here are not much more general-Python than Plone-specific. This sprint is really for experienced Python programmers who want to help with the ZopeSkel infrastructure.

The talk discusses how we might improve our use of the Zope Component Architecture, how the technology might be change, and how the technology might be used in other contexts like Django. We will adjourn for food and beverage at a local eatery after the meeting.

TriZPUG July 2008 1st Wednesday Plone Jam

biggers — 2008-07-02T23:00:00Z

A Plone Jam is an improvisational meeting. You can bring a problem you are trying to solve at work. You can bring a pet project. You can bring something you are playing around with. You can make a presentation. You can just work on your code. The idea is sort of an "un-sprint." That is, the topic is what you show up with to work on rather than a pre-planned theme. We may work on our own things side by side for synergistic effect or we may work in teams/pairs like sprint; it's up to the individuals how to work together at each Jam. Just play and see what comes out. See if a groove develops!

Josh Gray, a doctoral candidate in the UNC Department of Geography, will describe a NASA funded ecological investigation which explores methods of scaling up eddy covariance flux tower estimates of various ecological parameters, especially those related to carbon and water cycling, to regional scales. Various remotely sensed images are employed in a novel model which estimates evapotranspiration for the Eno River Watershed in Durham and Orange Counties. Originally the workflow was entirely Matlab based. This user has found that the Python combination of numpy, pylab, and gdal has provided a full replacement and increased efficiency and portability.

It currently works in Zope2, Zope3, Grok, and Plone. It's being brought to Django and Pylons and soon the rest of the world. It currently works with Prototype, MochiKit, Sarissa, and JQuery and has a plug-in architecture to allow it to accommodate other Javascript libraries like Scriptalicious. It has a large and very active developer community of great talent. KSS is celebrated annually at the Sorrento Sprint.
