Plone Conference re-broadcast in Second Life Oct 25-27

Posted on October 25, 2006 by


SL developer Tao Takashi sends out the cool news that he has organized an in-world re-broadcast of the proceedings of the 2006 Plone Conference taking place from October 25-27 in Seattle, WA.  Plone is a powerful open-source web content management system with a large volunteer developer base around the world.  It’s both easy to use out of the box, and highly customizable.  I used Plone to create the first version of this blog, as well as some other projects I developed.

This might be a nice way to network the international Plone community with the SL developer community. Nice going, Tao!

The full press release continues below…
