Hi folks,

There will be a Plone conference in San Francisco between Nov. 1-8 (less
than a month away) that will have a sizeable Pylons Project presence
(http://ploneconf.org).

Although the major thrust of the conference is Plone, there are about 12
Pyramid-related talks; effectively a "Pyramid track". See
http://2011ploneconference.sched.org/overview/type/pyramid .

Additionally I'd like to hold at least one Pyramid BOF
(birds-of-a-feather) on Friday, Nov. 4 at 3pm. This will be a session
that will let us get together and yammer about the Pylons Project and
Pyramid. Personally, I'd like to use the session to try to figure out
how to scale the community a little better. Please add your ideas to
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/wiki/Bof-ideas .

There will be sprints at the tail end of the conference (Nov. 7 & 8)..
the sprints are open to the public without charge. We have a fairly
sizeable list of potential sprint topics at
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/wiki/Sprint-Ideas . If you have other
tasks you need help with, I'd add them there. We'll likely have at
least one or two "all hands" tasks that folks with no particular agenda
can help out on or if you already know what you want to do and just need
the sprint as an excuse to get out of work to do it, you should do it!

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

- C

Hi Chris,

Thanks for spreading the news. 

Should I assume the the BOF meeting requires attendees to pay the conference fee?

Yes. But the sprints on the 7th & 8th are free.

I hope so. They seem to be taping things.

Chris,
What problems are we having with scaling the community?  Or were thinking more along the lines of discussing some new marketing ideas to attract more users?  Either way I think it is important to name some specific issues, to get people brainstorming.

One of actual problem is lack of roles, responsibilities and delegation... All of us do our best, however if we're getting «more» organized all of our time and efforts will serve the project better. Yes we need better marketing and presence... we need attracting more users and also keep current users and provide them a platform they are confident with. There's a lot to talk about this topic :)
