New Business

  • PyCon - Chrissy reported that we had plenty of people coming up to the booth asking plenty of questions about Plone.

Review Ongoing

  • Philip reported that the Zope sprint was really good, there were only a couple people doing Plone, but a lot of work was being done on Zope.
  • Sprint for Bern has been cancelled.
  • Philip mentioned the B2Run and that there are people who would register under the Plone "company". Philip will send the information to Paul about Plone registering as a company.
  • Paul and Kim will coordinate to transfer plonegov.org to our domain provider
  • Philip requested running the German Plone Demo site under demo.plone.org, since it is very well maintained and has several languages. Philip will be doing this later this summer.
  • Kim mentioned plone.org has been getting some spam, so we'll look into limiting the GitHub users that can log in.
