I've got a 2-hour powerpoint presentation entitled "Squishdot, Zope and Python" from a talk I gave last February which kind of covers a lot (so most of it is a bird's-eye view of the whole damn kaboodle) -- just email me privately if you're interested... Its about 1.5 MB unzipped (35 slides) -- most of it screenshots of squishdot sites (I'm biased ;^)) -- you can take out the stuff you don't want... --- Andy McKay andym@ActiveState.com wrote:
I would recommend just showing a lot of Zope and an application. I made the mistake recently of talking too much and only having 5 mins to show stuff. I installed Squishdot from a tar file, right there and then and compared it too installing Slashcode. That impressed people alot more than the waffle I did.
The problem I had with my presentation (and in trying to cover Zope in general terms) was that a lot of it tends to go in one ear and out the other -- like so much of the marketingese that companies use to tout their products ("...ideal for dynamic, interactive websites; manage from anywhere using only your browser...blah...blah...") I'm almost convinced (though I haven't tried it) that a demo (and enough time afterwards for questions) might make a more powerful and lasting impression. Cheers! Butch

Hi everyone,
I'm going to be doing a presentation on Zope at the July meeting of the Twin Cities Linux Users Group. I'm looking for suggestions from others who may have done a similar presentation regarding what topics I should cover. I'll be looking at some of my own projects as case studies, but what else would people recommend covering?
