In the last couple days since our beloved friend Dorneles died in a tragic car accident much has been said about him, both on and offline. Many people remember him from his technical prowess, though he never thought of himself as someone with exceptional programming skills. I know a lot of really brilliant people, both [...]


Over the past few months, friends and family have been very curious about how my new job is going, and it’s been hard to stop for a moment and go into detail about it. I’ve been simply nodding and saying “It’s fine”. This is an attempt at summarizing all the activity that happened in the [...]

Alexander Limi brought up the discussion again, by mailing some of the Zope Community luminaries. I’m glad to be amongst those. I had come up with a high-level list of things that would need to happen before. So here are some more quick thoughts about what else would be needed to get Plone running on [...]


This year’s Google Summer of Code program will see at least two interesting projects related to Zope, and getting Zope to run on different versions/implementations of Python. To keep track of the status of those projects the Zope Porting blog is born. Expect to see status update from the students there, as well as other [...]
