Lightning Talks Thursday¶

Note

I rarely take this many notes on Lightning Talks these days. (Danny 07/05/11)

Plone HRM¶

Note

Kind of neat and the sort of thing a Plone CMS might handle well. You need tons of docs plus some core tools. Add in PloneFormGen and you’ve got a pretty nice HR tool. (Danny 07/05/2011)

Human Resources Product
Handles different locations
Functionality
- Salary
- Contract Builder
- Performance Reviews

Quills¶

Note

This is a tool that lets you turn your Plone site into a blog farm. (Danny 07/05/2011)

Blogging for Plone
Not ready but BOF is happening

GoReplace¶

SmartFolders + Regular Expressions

Looks good

appy.pod¶

-Turns Plone items into PDF, Docs, RTF, and other things

Interop-Kmap¶

Semantic indexing and semantic search of documents/contents

Hard to understand

Grok¶

Note

This is about the simple Zope powered framework. The work Chris McDonough did on repoze.BFG / Pyramid that eclipsed it clearly eclipsed it in both design strategy and leveraging lessons learned from outside the community. (Danny 07/05/2011)

Luciano Ramalho
Simple is good
Start playing with it now

Manage your releases with Bundleman¶

Note

Even back then this seemed like a duplication of where the rest of the community was doing with buildout. However, the notes I have from this period claim ‘Good Documentation’, something that can be argued was a failure of the buildout community.

Handy management tool for releases
Ties right into SVN
Used to manage externals. I think I like builtout better.
Good for maintaining older applications perhaps
Good documentation
