To guide discussion I'll be preparing outlines/notes and then afterward
I have plans to turn them into whitepapers + screencast slideshows.
There aren't any cameras allocated for openspaces at PyCon so no video,
but we'll take note of suggestions and ideas and fold it into some kind
of result.

I'll probably host it on my own website unless I can figure out the
appropriate Zope community site and get access for me to do updates.  We
seem to have a flurry of microsites so I'm unclear on the best hosting
options.

>From the ZF minutes I've read, isn't the current thinking of the
foundation to make one of the Zope sites the "central index" (i.e.
www.zope.org?) and link to the various microsites?  I'm unclear on how
quality and content is coordinated though.

Here are my initial rough outlines:
