RFC: Zope.asn.au : Australian Zope User Group Association hi Australian Zopistas, I am interested in forming an Australian Zope User Group Association. i.e. Zope.asn.au. Could those individual and organisational users of Zope let me know if they are keen. I really think its a good idea to push this now, I know of a few players (1 in Qld, 2 in Vic), but compared to the mainstream Zope is miniscule. Some things I would like to see Zope.asn.au do would be 1. Link-up with the Python crowd, in the Universities and Industry. Some Python outfits are doing industrial strength business (ie CommSecure) 2. Encourage schools & uni's to teach, talk about Zope 3. Advocate Zope in the IT Market place 4. Organise an Australian Zope conference, maybe the culmination of a 6-12 month campaign 5. Get Zope into the Australian IT media 6. Create a Job Board or some kind of Australian Zope vortal 7. Set-up a Zope.asn.au mailing list 8. Work-out a way to get more resources into Zope in Australia 9. Showcase some Australian Zope (initially Python ?) Zope success stories please email this list or send your initial response to mailto:Zope@synarchy.net -- Nicholas Roberts, Webmaster/Director mailto:Nicholas.Roberts@SYNARCHY.NET -- Websystems Information Australia ABN: 95 052 408 849 http://websystems.com.au
