Plone in the New Marketing Era

Submitted by Bryan on February 6, 2008 - 5:50am

"Coming up soon is the Plone Strategic Planning Summit at the Googleplex in Mountain View, where about 50 people from all over the Plone community meet to discuss the future of Plone (more on the actual summit in a later post). Many people have taken this as a reason to post their ideas how Plone might look like in the future, such as Martin Aspeli, Alexander Limi and many others (many of them also on the mailing lists).

So I thought I might also write down my idea about the future."

Plone 3.0 Released

Submitted by Bryan on August 27, 2007 - 5:33am
Last week, Plone 3.0 was released.  Plone is the infamous content management system that runs on the Python-based Zope application server.   The install of Plone is known to be very easy with Plone, Python, and Zope already packaged together in the installer.

Highlights to the new features/improvements in Plone 3.0 that the Plone team would like to stress via their announcement are listed below.   I provided links to further details on those features I thought needed a better explanation or were just too exciting to leave alone.
  • Full version support, history and reverting to older revisions
  • Improved performance
  • Inline (Ajax) editing

Plone 2.5.2 released

Submitted by Bryan on January 20, 2007 - 9:06pm

I almost missed this one. Plone 2.5.2 was released a few days ago. Plone is a CMS written in Python (something I know a lot about) that is built on the Zope application server (something I know very little about). The Plone 2.5.2 release is a bug fixer for the following:

  • LiveSearch
  • Unicode handling
  • External Editor
  • IE7 rendering

The original announcement from Plone.org can be read here and you can download the latest version of Plone on their download page.

Fifth Anniversary for Plone Content Management System

Submitted by Bryan on October 5, 2006 - 4:45pm

Plone is celebrating their fifth anniversary this week. Plone is an open source content management system (CMS) built on the Python based Zope application server. The two people that are probably celebrating the most about Plone's success are its project leaders and founders, Alan Runyan (a US Texan) and Alexander Limi (a Norwegian).

The following are some talking points straight from about the positive accomplishments of the Plone open source project during the past five years. The talking points are straight from their fifth year anniversary announcement with only a little editing on my part. I realize that there are other open source projects that may have accomplished just as much as Plone during the past five years. However, this is Plone's time to shine. Also, this is rare occasion I get to promote a non-PHP Web application to our visitors here at CMS Report.
