PloneSA meeting Wednesday 2 May

[Bridget Nash]

The next monthly meeting is on Wednesday 2 May, happening at the OIS in Cape Town.

Izak, will you be speaking at this meeting? If yes, please may I have a title and brief description of your talk so that we can advertise.

Thanks!

[Jan-Carel Brand]

I'd like to have a conversation about the German Plone Konf to share
some impressions and insights I gained while there and to find out what
we as the PloneSA group can learn from it.

I don't think I really want to hold a proper talk about it. Perhaps a
short introduction, but what I really want is for us to have a
conversation and just discuss some things.

JC, perhaps after Izak's talk (if he is still keen, as indicated in discussions about last month's meeting) you can bring this up?

Sure, I'll bring it up on the floor after his talk. ;)

I hope everyone is having a happy World Plone Day today!

With one week to go until the monthly Plone meeting in Cape Town, I need to confirm the speaker - Izak are you still keen to present?

[Izak Burger]

Hi all,

My wife tells me we have a prior engagement, as a result I can
unfortunately not attend, much less give the needed talk :-(

regards,
Izak

Hi all,

Just a quick note that I have managed to sort something out for next
Wednesday and I will be there. I apologise for my hasty cancelation.

I will send a summary as a separate email.

regards,
Izak

[Bridget Nash]

Hi Izak, that is great! Looking forward to receiving your summary.

[Izak Burger]

Hi all,

My talk is about my collaboration on plone.app.toolbar.

Plone.app.toolbar is a product that pulls the plone management out of
the content and places it into an iframe at the top of the screen.
This works very well when combined with the use of theming tools such
as diazo and plone.app.theming, because one of the things you always
had to do was to theme the administration components so that they work
properly within your theme, or failing that you had to provide a
separate site with a different theme for administration purposes.

Plone.app.toolbar loads the various administration views into an
overlay so you don't need to theme them.

I worked on this project with many of the big names in the plone
community, but most notably Ross Patterson and Rok Garbas, although
many provided input. Some interesting interaction was observed at
times, especially when Ross and Rok argued about the design a bit, and
when Rok said my javascript looked perlish :-)

My talk will be a short demo of p.a.toolbar, and a summary of what
transpired on the plone-dev mailing list, where I wrote up the
progress from time to time.

reggards,
Izak

Sweet! Looking forward to this Izak :)

That sounds great. Looking forward.

The details of the May Plone meeting are as follows:

Date: Wednesday 2 May 2012

Time: 19h00 - 21h00

Place: The Open Innovation Studio, 27 Buitenkant Street, Cape Town, 8001 

We are the red doors opposite the police station, next door to the District 6 Museum (corner of Buitenkant and Albertus). At that time of the evening there should be parking in the street outside the OIS, but if not there will be plenty of parking round the corner in the Charly's Bakery parking lot. Ring the buzzer and come up the stairs, up through the second red door.

Talk: Izak Burger will be speaking about his collaboration on the plone.app.toolbar.

Description:

We hope to see you there!

[Rijk Stofberg]

Thanks for organising. I will be there.

Cheers
Rijk

Don't forget the Plone meeting is on Wednesday evening at the OIS in Cape Town!

Hope you've all had a nice long weekend :)
