hi there! I spent last week giving a Plone training on one State University over here in Brazil and they asked me about the state o Plone in this market.
can you guys share some information about this? are you using Plone in an University? can I give your contact to my customer?
at the 2015 Tokyo Plone Symposium, the Japanese scene was positively buzzing with Japanese universities doing really cool things with Plone. I'll try to get some more contacs.
But our Plone-based system used for participants registration in some scientific conferences including the CERN's Annual Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference (http://lhcp2015.com).
I also believe that Plone is used within Oxford University and the University of the Highlands and Islands
I would be surprised if there weren't more in the UK.
By the way, we used Plone platform as main entry point for our specialized Linux distribution for Russian schools -- NauLinux. Unfortunately only Russian description of this system exists now:
You may use GooglTranslate to read of this short description, but do not be fooled by GooglTranslation magic -- our system was so far from "PARADISE level" :)...
At University of Jyväskylä (Finland) we use Plone for our university website (since 2005), but additionally we have multiple Plone-based customised services, such as:
Video publishing platform Moniviestin since 2003 - also used at other universities
