Call for Participants for Zope 3 Sprint before Europython 2003 in Belgium (correction)
by Grégoire Weber 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hi everybody, As Guido van Rossum has noticed june 24 is a tuesday not a thursday :-) To avoid confusion below the corrected version of the Zope 3 sprint call for participants. -------------------- The Zope 3 sprint in Louvain-la-Neuve at the local university before the Europython conference is now definitive. When: Three days from june 22 to 24, 2003 (sunday to tuesday). Registration: If you decided to participate the sprint just drop me a e-mail and register your name and e-mail in the sprint wiki (see below). Accomodation: Take care to decide on participation as early as possible. Quick reservation is needed because there seems to be only little place to stay in Louvain-la-Neuve! If possible, plan to arrive on saturday evening/night. This way we don't lose time on sunday morning. Godefroid will help us moving from Louvain-la-Neuve to Charleroi Wednesday morning. So it would make sense to book the night in Louvain-la-Neuve from tuesday to wednesday also. Sprint Coaches and Topics: Experienced people like Steve Alexander, the codeworks people (Albertas Agejevas, Marius Gedminas, Viktorija Zaksiene), Martijn Faassen and possibly Godefroid Chapelle will act as Coaches. Topics will be determined definitively during the next weeks. Sprint Preparation: There is a good description about how to prepare for a sprint on <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/CMSprintPr…> Further information: <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/EuroPython…> More infos to come. Questions? gregoire.weber at switzerland.org regards, Godefroid Chapelle and Gregoire Weber _____________________________________ Grégoire Weber Rigistr. 31 CH-8006 Zürich Switzerland phone: +41-(0)1-361 66 11 mobile: +41-(0)79-44 11 457 mailto:gregoire.weber@switzerland.org

by Alexander Limi 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Oslo, Norway - The Plone Team today released Plone 1.0.2, a maintenance release for Plone 1.0. Plone is an open source information management system available in 25 languages, and has a large and active community supporting it. Plone marries design and usability to Zope, the award-winning application server, which provides a powerful open source architecture for rich content and rich content services. The combination provides administrative workflow, multimedia, metadata, integrated search, and the industry's first standards-compliant templating system. Other open-source add-ons provide Plone with integration of documents written in Microsoft Word and OpenOffice, PDF generation, versioning and more. This is planned to be the last release in the 1.0.x series, and the last Plone version to require CMF 1.3.1. Work is progressing nicely on Plone 1.1 (see separate status update released today on the plone.org website), and the team expects to make an alpha release available shortly. Release 1.0.2 is mostly bug fixes and nice-to-have additions, and is a recommended upgrade for people running the 1.0 releases. It also has updated translations, Plone now ships with 25 languages, now also including Arabic. No Hebrew translation of Plone yet, if you want to help out with adding your language to Plone, please check out the translation overview to get started. Most languages have been updated and polished since the 1.0.1 release. You can download the Windows Installer and the source tarball from our download pages - Mac OS X and the different Linux packages will follow as soon as the maintainers have time to update them. Hope you enjoy this minor update while you're waiting for Plone 1.1. :) -- The Plone Team AVAILABILITY Plone is available for a number of platforms, including Windows, MacOS X, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.

I don't know what Godefroid's plan is, but note that the talks start at 9 on Wednesday, so if you do this you'd have to get up early to be on time for my "state of Zope 3" talk. :-) Personally, I plan to travel Tuesday night. > Sprint Coaches and Topics: > > Experienced people like Steve Alexander, the codeworks people > (Albertas Agejevas, Marius Gedminas, Viktorija Zaksiene), > Martijn Faassen and possibly Godefroid Chapelle will act as > Coaches.

ZopeTree 1.3 released
by Philipp von Weitershausen 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I have just released ZopeTree 1.3. ZopeTree is a light-weight tree implementation, mainly for use with ZPT. It is intended to be simpler to use than ZTUtils.Tree. Version 1.3 brings the following changes: * Setting a cookie with ZopeTree is optional now. Simply pass set_cookie=0 to the ZopeTree constructor. * Fixed a security hole in the tree state decompressing mechanism. Previous versions were vulnerable to a denial of service attack using large tree states. Thanks go to Jamie Heilman for reporting the bug and Toby Dickenson for providing a fix. There is no explicit README file, but you should be able to read everything from the interfaces. The product also comes with two example PageTemplates. You may download ZopeTree at: http://www.zope.org/Members/philikon/ZopeTree Regards, Phil
