It’s no surprise to anyone reading this here that NPower Seattle is a big fan of Plone, the open source content management system that helps us deliver huge features to our customers without building from scratch. As a matter of fact, I attended the World Wide Plone Conference a couple of years ago, have been on the circuit with Idealware talking about Plone (and other CMS tools) and recently send one of my senior web developers to the World Wide Plone Conference in DC.
Well - now some of that magic is going to be happening right here locally. Our friends and colleagues at ONE/NW are hosting the World Plone Day, and you should attend!
Here’s what you need to know about the event and how to sign up:
AGENDA
Speakers
- Jon Stahl, Plone Foundation Board President
- Sam Knox, ONE/Northwest Support Manager
Talks
Plone: How it helps you build great websites
A brief overview of what Plone is all about — led by Jon Stahl, Plone Foundation Board President
Plone for Content Editors: Learning and Teaching the Essentials
Plone is often touted as a great CMS for non-technical users because it is easy and attractive for content managers to add, update, and maintain content. While this is largely true, there are a number of essential skills that one must learn in order to become comfortable with all aspects of posting and editing content in Plone. Added to that, there are a number of ‘best practices’ to learn about writing for the web and using the Plone interface that can substantially increase the chances of a satisfactory experience with Plone. Sam Knox, Support Manager for the non-profit consulting organization ONE/Northwest, will present an end-user focused training with ideas and advice for both end-users and the consultants who work with them. If you are new to Plone, or are often engaged with those who are, this session is for you.
So that we have enough food & beverage, free swag from Google, and can tailor the talks appropriately, please RSVP.
