Plone News Editorial Team

All publications are reviewed based on these editorial guidelines.

Jules Allen

Jules is a founding member of the Plone Foundation and a Zope fan since the late 90's. He was a formerly a journalist who focused on explaining open source and the then nascent World Wide Web to a non-technical audience. He's been a sysadmin, code monkey, art director, cartoonist, typographer, and can still kern a mean headline. He has held C-level positions with a number of software companies and communications firms where he sneakily introduced open source products unbeknownst to the grown ups.

Mark Corum

University of Virginia
Mark works at the University of Virginia, where he is involved in web development, design and instruction. His background includes marketing for some of America's largest companies, dozens of political campaigns, and stints as a journalist, script doctor, research engineer, political consultant, brand manager and graphic designer.  He was twice a member of the Board of Directors (2009-2010 and 2010-2011).

Jorge Gonçalves

A Portuguese journalist, with also a degree in Computer Science, had for some time a weekly radio program about IT, has helped launch "Portugal Virtual" the very first local internet on-line magazine, back in 1995 (yeah, not Plone yet those days, only pure old HTML... ;-) ). Currently living and working in Brazil, works with Zope and Plone since 2003, mainly to help create intranets and manage documents.

Upfront Systems - South Africa

Jean Jordaan

UNEP/IW:LEARN
Jean has been working on Zope and Plone websites for about ten years, with a few excursions as technical writer.  Badly named methods, inconsistent variable names, and poorly written docstrings makes him sad.  He likes Sphinx docs, but usually ends up reading the reStructuredText source.  He is a serial submitter of patches to READMEs.

At Jazkarta I specialize in the education and science sectors and direct our training and support services.

Rijk Stofberg

Upfront Systems - South Africa
Programming since 1995, I eventually find my way to python, zope and plone via Roche Compaan and Jean Jordaan at Upfront Systems. I have worked in small, medium and large corporations in the telecommunication, financial, agricultural, fresh produce, backup/ disaster recovery and content management domains. During the past 15 years I have occupied positions as systems analyst, designer and developer. Projects like Siyavula, Connexions, TARMI and Fullmarks are currently my pride and joy, because I want to be involved in projects and communities that actually make a difference.
