Action Items

  • Paul sent message to AI team about dist.plone.org

Incoming Correspondence

  • Paul responded to a sponsorship request to Euro Python, we will have a booth and a help desk set up there.
  • Re-licensing Request - collective.indexing was split up for some bits of the code to be in CMFPlone and the rest in our fork of CMFCore. The bit under CMFCore needs to be relicensed to match Zope's licensing requirements (ZPL). Paul recommends a dual license, in case the code needs to be merged back into CMFPlone in the future. Carol made a motion to make the code in the pull request under a dual license. Chrissy seconded. Unanimously approved.

Review Ongoing

  • Calvin Hendryx-Parker set up a vagrant and buildout combo to make sure Windows users will be able to set up Plone locally and try it out. Sven is also working on a Docker image. We will work to update plone.org with this info.

Here are some updates:

docker:

it is not me or at least not only me, @avoinea and @demarant are doing huge parts, without them it would not be possible !

The debian based image is working, the alpine one needs some more attention. The biggest 'blocker' atm, are writing and finishing the docs I had no time, yet.

We are using them since months and they are working fine !

vagant

maybe it got forgotten but we have already one vagrant build exactly for that purpose, I did that when Plone 5 was released.
The reason why this never got published is it that after some discussions with @polyester and some other people it was decided to wait, till we have more add-ons which we can include to give the best possible impression.
The main focus was on smooth with awesome docs, which I wrote. too.

If Calvin wants to do that, awesome ! I already have enough to do, just thought I remember you :slight_smile:
