Here's a short overview: - Castle Sprint 2005 (September 23rd until 27th at Castle Goldegg, BlueDynamics' Headquarter) The castle sprint this year will be a **Duathlon** We cover two sprint topics (see below) and the world best developers of the Zope and Plone world will participate. "How to get there":goldeggtransfer - Topic One **Get "ArchGenXML":http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/archgenxml-getting-started ready for Zope 3**. This sprint will be a small effective sprint without huge parties around. This sprint will also cover that we are planning to integrate ArchGenXML into "Eclipse":http://www.eclipse.org, so if there are some Eclipse Xperts out there please contact us. - Topic Two The second topic will be the "Goldegg Project":http://www.goldeggstack.org. The Goldegg project will fund *simultaneous* work at three layers of the software stack: Plone, CMF, and Five/Zope 3. This will allow architectural decisions to get attention and results through coordination between layers. For more answers please checkout also the "FAQ":http://www.goldeggstack.org/about/faq page for this. Goldegg will provide resources (money and time) to help Plone and CMF answer a looming question: "What about Zope 3?" These steps will lead to the ultimate goal of increasing the adoption of Zope and Plone worldwide. - Plone Multimedia Sprint Make Plone ready also for multimedia content. This sprint takes place also in Vienna from Thursday 22nd to Friday 23rd.

About the Plone Conference Like our first conference in New Orleans, and last year in Vienna, this year's conference will focus primarily on the people that make Plone what it is—the developers and contributors to the finished product. In addition to this focus, we will also be adding material to benefit those in business and politics who have adopted Plone within their organizations. As Plone is built on top of the Zope server infrastructure, our success has had the side-effect of attracting tens of thousands of users to the Zope Application Server. For this reason, we will include sessions on not just Plone, but also its supporting technologies, Zope and Python. The three-day conference in Vienna, Austria will begin on September 19th and run until September 21st. There will be two different tracks - a Tutorial Track for those who would like to learn their first bit about Plone or advance their skills, as well as a Talks Track for those who would rather hear some history, use-cases, and demonstrations of what Plone can do. In addition to the 2005 Plone Conference there will be a party held at the Prospekthof on Tuesday night which will undoubtedly be something not to miss.
