What is this?
Hi, my name is Tom Lazar and I'm a Plone and Zope developer based in Berlin, Germany and this is my personal and professional (no big difference, really...) website.
 

Day Three - We're not finished yet!

More cryptic mini-notes

  • Jerry McRea is a mind reader and wrote a tool for managing and creating Zope instances pretty much precisely to my specifications without me ever having told anybody ;-) One thing however is crucially absent: a script-based viable backup strategy. But at least now I have a good base onto which to add such a strategy ;-)

  • Opera seems to be a viable alternative for my mail- and news requirements. Who'd've thunk it? After a 15 minute lunchtable evangelism session by limi I'm actually going to give it a try. (According to rumours, Opera also contains a web browser).

  • LinguaPlone and Members folders don't mix. You might want to consider abandoning Members folders in any Plone instance that you run with LP - most use cases of Plone don't really call for those folders anyway.

  • PloneOntology could be really interesting for managing the articles on ds.ccc.de - once I've actually got it up and running ;-)

  • educ()ommons is also something to watch out for. "An OpenCourseWare Management System designed specifically to support OpenCourseWare projects like MIT OCW and USU OCW". To quote John Dehlin (he's here at the conference): "it's all about sharing university learning materials with the world--openly, and freely (think people in India, or China, or South America, or even the rural UK, having access to learning materials never before possible)". A commendable effort - If you're in education check it out.
