Ploneability: A one-day mini-conference on Plone for NGOs
Plone has proved itself as a powerful, and user-friendly open source Content Management System. But how can charities and NGOs leverage Plone to best effect? This free one day event aims to answer this and other questions.
Our friends at Oxfam GB in Oxford, England are hosting Ploneability, which promises to be a great one-day mini-conference aimed at introducing nonprofits (or NGOs as our European friends like to call them) to the power and beauty of Plone.
It looks like they have an amazing lineup of sessions and speakers, including:
- Paul Everitt, Executive Director of the Plone Foundation
- A live demonstration of building a site in Plone.
- Running a CMS project
- Migrating a static HTML site to Plone
- Information on Plone hosting
Ploneability will be held on May 25th, at Oxfam GB's offices. It's free, but capacity is limited to 60, so registration is required. (Given our experiences with hosting Plone events here in Seattle, I'm sure it will sell out!)
I'm looking forward to hearing a report back from the event -- I think this has tremendous potential as an easy-to-replicate model. Kudos to Andrew Hatton and crew at Oxfam GB for putting this on, and to all those who are speaking and supporting.
