I’ve just returned from Pycon where I had a great time staffing the Plone Foundation’s booth. It was fun to see old friends and introduce new people to Plone, Python’s open source, enterprise-grade content management system. Pycon attendees are wonderfully friendly and curious, always interested in learning new things. The venue – Cleveland’s downtown convention center – was lovely and the rain mostly held off. We gave away dozens and dozens of Plone-branded neck pillows and water bottles and multi-tools and pins and magnets, not to mention blue M&Ms arranged in the shape of the Plone logo. I arrived with 2 suitcases full of swag and left with 2 empties. Thanks to Witek and Nate from Jazkarta and to Chrissy, Anthony and Carol from Six Feet Up for helping set up and run the booth, and to the Plone Foundation for sponsoring Pycon. Open source rocks!
