OSCON submissions wanted by Saturday!
by Guido van Rossum 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

For the Python/Zope track at OSCON (July 7-11 in Portland, Oregon) we need more papers and tutorials. It is especially pressing since the deadline for submissions is 2/15, i.e. this Saturday. Last year we had a few really good Zope talks and tutorials. I hope we'll be able to repeat those! All you need to do is submit a brief abstract to the URL below. Bonus: all tutorials and 5 talks in the Python track will be listed in a brochure for the conference that will go out to several magazines to create early exposure -- both for OSCON and for Zope! http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2003/create/e_sess --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

by Maik Jablonski 12 Feb '03

12 Feb '03

Happy Birthday, MailBoxer...:) "MailBoxer":http://www.zope.org/Members/mjablonski/MailBoxer celebrates his first birthday... and so I decided to release MailBoxer 2.2, the most powerful toolbox for implementing mailinglist-applications with Zope! What is a MailBoxer? MailBoxer is a lightweight ZOPE-Product to run mailinglists, newsletters and mailarchives. Its main idea is to give you an extensible framework for building mailinglist-based applications with the power of ZOPE. Out of the box it provides a full featured mailinglist/newsletter/mailarchiving-framework. Do you want to see MailBoxer in action? "Have a look at the archive of zope(a)zope.org mirrored with MailBoxer":http://www.dzug.org/mailinglisten/zope-org-zope/archive/2003 What's new? - Added automatic bounce-detection (taken from Mailman; many thanks to the author Barry A. Warsaw!) & created management-interface for easy bounce-handling. - Introduced several new handlers for customizing mailinglist-workflows - Improved snipping quotations, signatures etc. in mail-threads - Fixed security-issues with some public methods (esp. pin). - Some speedups and code cleanups. Keep zoped, Cheers, Maik

Python 11 proposals deadline is February 15th!
by Guido van Rossum 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

The Python 11 Conference is being held July 7-11 in Portland, Oregon as part of OSCON 2003. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2003/ The deadline for proposals is February 15th! You only need to have your proposal in this week, you don't need to worry about trying to put together the complete presentation or tutorial materials at this time. Proposal submissions page: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2003/create/e_sess Few proposals have been submitted so far, we need many more to have a successful Python 11 conference. If you have submitted a proposal for one of the other Python conferences this year such as PyCon, I encourage you to go ahead and submit the proposal to Python 11 as well. If you are presenting at the Python UK Conference or EuroPython, but are unable to attend Python 11, you should consider having another team member do the presentation. The theme of OSCON 2003 is "Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software". Papers and presentations on how to successfully transition away from proprietary software would also be good, but it is not necessary for your proposal to cover the theme, proposals just need to be related to Python. COMPENSATION: Free registration for speakers (except lightning talks). Tutorial speakers also get a honorarium, and some of their hotel and travel costs are covered. O'REILLY ANNOUNCEMENT: 2003 O'Reilly Open Source Convention Call For Participation Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/ O'Reilly & Associates invites programmers, developers, strategists, and technical staff to submit proposals to lead tutorial and conference sessions at the 2003 Open Source Software Convention, slated for July 7-11 in Portland, OR. Proposals are due February 15, 2003. For more information please visit our OSCON website http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/ The theme this year is "Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software." Few companies use only one vendor's software on desktops, back office, and servers. Variety in operating systems and applications is becoming the norm, for sound financial and technical reasons. With variety comes the need for open unencumbered standards for data exchange and service interoperability. You can address the theme from any angle you like--for example, you might talk about migrating away from commercial software such as Microsoft Windows, or instead place your emphasis on coexistence.

Releasing RevisionManager 1.0rc4
by Philipp von Weitershausen 08 Feb '03

08 Feb '03

Hello everbody, once again I am proud to announce a RevisionManager release. Again many small bugs have been fixed. Thanks to all those who have reported them. Most important changes are: * The items in the 'Status' tab are now sorted by their relative path by default. Like with folders, by clicking on a column header, the list will be sorted by this column. * Fixed a bug that would make RevisionManager crash when handling large files or images. * Adding objects to the repository should work much faster now when adding a large amount of files. Binary files are now detected and added with the '-kb' flag to CVS. See CHANGES.txt for further information. I consider RC4 very stable and hope that this will be the last RC before 1.0. Please tell me whether it has succeeded or failed on your Zope installation (don't forget to make backups, though). You may download it at: http://www.zope.org/Members/philikon/RevisionManager Cheers, Phil
