The Plone Conference Magic

...or why you shouldn't miss it!

Washington DC 2008

Plone is a long running project, and vibrant is its Community.

A whole slew of Plone events all over the World spread during the year to foster the Community, but the most important of all is the annual Conference.

If you are involved in Plone, you can't miss it!

If you're not involved in Plone yet, nothing better than participating to a Conference to discover Plone's strength!

Since 2003, the Plone Community has organized six conferences in a row, getting momentum every time: New Orleans, Vienna, Seattle, Naples, Washington DC have been wonderful locations for this energizing event.

This year Budapest will be itself a nice location for the newcomers, but any Conference is worth your presence, in any case!

During the Conference days you'll get plenty of occasions to:

  • meet the heroes who make things happen
  • better undestand how a true open source community works
  • touch the bleeding edge of technology
  • make friends with people who share your own interests
  • put your hands on at the development sprint
  • enjoy a wonderful social event with friendly and joyful people

 

What you are waiting for then?! Go register!!

 

This year we have a Conference blog to share, so stay tuned to obtain a deeper understanding of what you'll get in Budapest!
