[Zope3-dev] ANN: Zope3 IsarSprint, Oct 2004

[Helmut Merz]

Hi,

a few weeks ago I already had announced the Zope3 IsarSprint 
to take place together with the conference of the 
German-speaking Zope user group (http://dzug.org) in 
Weihenstephan (near Munich, Germany).

According to Jim's suggestion to use the conference days 
also for organizing the sprint we have changed the 
schedule, the sprint will now be

  from Thursday, Oct 7 (tutorial) until Thursday, Oct 14.

Up-to-date information about the sprint can be found on the 
IsarSprint wiki page: http://isarsprint.org (this is just a 
shortcut to the page on dev.zope.org.). Please add your 
name to the list of participants if you would like to take 
part in the sprint.

If you want to take part or are just interested in getting 
more information you should also subscribe to the 
IsarSprint mailinglist: please send an email with subject 
subscribe to zope3 at isarsprint.org.

What?

Primary goal of the sprint will be to develop "application 
components" - whatever is necessary to use Zope3 at least 
in simple customer projects just by applying some simple 
customizing, and to provide a basis for more complex 
solutions. What this really means we'll have to discuss 
yet...

Where?

The sprint will take place at the campus of the 
Technical University of Munich in Weihenstephan. This is a 
part of Freising, a small town some 25 km north of Munich, 
close to the Munich airport. As the river Isar crosses both 
Munich and then Freising we thought it's a good idea to 
call the sprint the "IsarSprint" (And there will also be an 
opportunity to visit Munich). Weihenstephan is also the 
site the oldest brewery of the world...

When?

The sprint will start on Thursday, October 7, with the Zope3 
tutorial (continued on Oct 8) taught by Jim Fulton, and 
will end on Thursday, October 14. The tutorial is, of 
course, optional for participants that already know enough 
about Zope3; the sprint organizing meeting will start in 
the afternoon of Oct 8.

During the DZUG meeting on Oct 8-9 there will be the 
opportunity to present Zope3 to a greater public. Please 
send me an email if you would like to give a lecture or 
workshop there.

So much for now...
