Plone to be featured at Europython 2012
Talks by Maurizio Delmonte and Érico Andrei featuring the Plone CMS will be presented at this year's EuroPython, in Florence, Italy; and Finland-based Devaus Oy will be providing networking while also promoting Plone.
EuroPython is the most important European conference for Python language. It attracts hundreds of developers and passionate people, providing a week full of interesting sessions and discussions about the Python language and its applications. Plone is one of the most important and widespread Python based open source projects out there, and EuroPython is the right place to mix the Plone and Python communities for fun and profit.
For those interested in history; before there were Plone Conferences, Symposiums or even the Plone Foundation, EuroPython was the meeting place for our community. The first time Alan Runyan and Alexander Limi met was at EuroPython 2002 when they introduced the first release of Plone.
Maurizio Delmonte will be making two presentations -

Non solo Django: MVC orientato ai contenuti con Plone e Zope Toolkit
(Not only Django: content oriented MVC with Plone and Zope)
Many Python developers are not aware of MVC features in Plone, is this related to the fact that MVC is not easy/obvious enough to grasp it? this talk will try to solve the main doubts and quickly provide a good overall of what Plone is: content type and views will be secrets no more. With Plone and a good initial "push", developing intranet, extranet and content centered services will be fun.
