How To: Speed Up Plone CMS by a Factor of 400!
Published on Oct 12, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms

Plone's uber-trainer and developer extraordinaire, Joel Burton, gave a wonderful presentation today on ways to make Plone run fast. Really, really fast.
The Plone Web content management system has long had a somewhat deserved reputation for being slow. However, that's truly only because Plone is optimized out-of-the-box for development, and people don't always figure out that reconfiguration is needed to get great performance in a deployment situation.
Sites like Novell.com and CIA.gov clearly show that Plone can perform extremely well, if only a bit of care and attention is paid by the developer.
You can download the presentation here.
Project Management of Smaller Plone CMS Projects

Veda Williams, a project manager at One/Northwest who manages many a Plone implementation, gave us all here at the Plone Conference some advice on best practices for managing smaller Plone Web content management projects.
I found a lot of her presentation extremely familiar, as it meshed very well with my own experiences, and frankly, it all applies to any tech project, not just Plone.
Plone Wisely: Our Time Is Valuable
Published on Oct 12, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms
Calvin Hendryx-Parker from SixFeetUp gave an interesting talk at the Plone Conference, advising strongly to only use Plone for its strengths, and not try to make it do what it's not optimized to do.
Plone does a tremendous number of things extremely well, but not everything. So at what point does it make sense to integrate a 3rd party application? Reinout van Rees blogged about the presentation. The bottom line:
"Our time is valuable. Why waste it by trying to hammer a square peg in a round hole? Pick the right tools for the right job and let Plone do the things it is good at."

Notes from the Plone Foundation Trenches
Published on Oct 11, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms
Plone's intellectual property is owned by the non-profit Plone Foundation, whose mission it to protect and promote Plone.
The Foundation uses the Plone Conference as a wonderful opportunity to have an "All Member" meeting. Following are my notes...
Scaling Plone Content Management for Large, Personalized Sites
Published on Oct 11, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms
Reinout van Rees blogged about a Plone Conference 2007 presentation given by Jean-Paul Ladage about an intranet built with Plone for the 6,000 person research department of Phillips. Unlike many Plone websites, this project required large scale personalization.
To quote:
The site has only logged-in users and a few thousand actually log in every day. This is different from most of the Plone sites, where you have a large majority of anonymous users. The users are authenticated against a 200,000 user LDAP database.

Published on Oct 10, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms
Next up on the conference agenda is my presentation entitled Plone For Media.
While quite the dexterous typer I won't be able to simultaneous blog about it and present. That won't stop us however. A good amount of the material will be coming directly from the case study published last week, here on CMSWire. Check out the article Case Study: Discovering Plone Content Management System (Part 1).
Open Source Web CMS's Threaten Commercial Marketshare
Published on Oct 10, 2007Topics: alfresco dotnetnuke drupal enterprise cms joomla plone web cms
Just because the researchers at Gartner chose to overlook open source offerings in their latest enterprise content management evaluation does not mean that decision makers within your organization should go the same route.
To help fill the not so minor gap left by Gartner, Infoworld recently compared five open source content management products that are worthy of any IT manager's shortlist -- though with Alfresco stacked up against the likes of Drupal, perhaps not the same shortlist.

Ten Ways to Engage the Plone Community
Published on Oct 10, 2007Topics: events open source plone plone conference 2007 ploneconf2007 web cms
Here at the Plone Conference, I'm taking a few notes at Darci Hanning's 10 Ways to Engage the Plone Community talk.
Darci tells us this talk will not be super valuable to developers. The point is that you don't have to be a programmer to be enormously helpful to Plone. Darci's talk is really for people who use Plone as an integration platform or as a user, and want to help promote and support the Plone project.
