&lt;h3&gt;GetPaid&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;License: ZPL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technologies: Python 2.4, Plone 3.x (Plone 4 support in beta)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Extendability: Skin layers, portlets&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listed sites/users: 16&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can be run in Google App Engine: No (Plone/Zope is not compatible)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Complete solution, add-on for Plone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Features: Donations, pay-to-publish, any content "buyable", discounts, UPS shipping (with real-time shipping charge calculation), good documentation, tests(!), getpaid products are available in a multitude of languages and all products are tagged with translatable text-ids.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;EasyShop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;License: GPL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Familiar technologies: Python 2.4, Plone 3.2.5&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Extendability: Skin layers, portlets&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listed sites/users: A handful (most being migrated to LFS?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can be run in Google App Engine: No (Plone/Zope is not compatible)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Complete solution, add-on for Plone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Lightning Fast Shop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;License: BSD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technologies: Python 2.6, jQuery, jQuery UI, TinyMCE, Django&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Extendability: Product templates, portlets&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listed sites/users: 11&amp;nbsp;http://www.getlfs.com/live-shops&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can be run in Google App Engine: No (Python 2.6 can't be run)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Easy to set up, clean management interface, functional shop out of the box and well thought out design. Snappy performance!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Satchmo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;License: BSD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Familiar technologies: Python, Django 1.2.1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Extendability: Very high&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listed sites/users: At least 67&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can be run in Google App Engine: &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/600225/how-to-make-satchmo-work-in-google-app-engine"&gt;No &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Satchmo is a complete web shop like the rest. The admin interface works fine, is snappy but is a little bit cluttered and asks tons of questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the tested solutions are functional out of the box. The two Plone based solutions have an advantage in having a tool chain that is familiar to us, but the Django based ones have better performance. LFS stands out because it also looks good out of the box&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a long time, the HTML web standard has been standing still and 
innovation has mostly happened within proprietary plug-ins such as 
Flash. Today though, the future of the web is seen within the next 
generation HTML5 and CSS3 standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HTML5 and CSS3 is the new industry standard that leverages:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Drag &amp;amp; drop&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Video&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Audio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2D and 3D 
graphics and visualizations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transitions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Games&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To keep up with all of this, Valentine Labs was formed by our 
front-end expert Per Thulin. Per comes from a creative game development 
background with lots of experience in multimedia, graphics and 
visualization. In just a few weeks we have come up with some absolutely 
amazing projects:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Valentine Notes&lt;/strong&gt; - A CSS3 technology demo that mimics the 
UI and transitions of Apples iPhone Notes application. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ScriptMate&lt;/strong&gt;
 - An application for theater actors to create and rehearse scripts 
together.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Timeline Project&lt;/strong&gt; - Helps people reach their 
daily goals.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tweet Arena&lt;/strong&gt; - A CCS (content combining 
system) where the content is hosted on social media sites and web 
services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is your web site ready for the future&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/h3&gt;

                <title>New cool web sites for Jeeves</title>

&lt;p class="discreet"&gt;For the leading supplier of ERP systems - Jeeves Information Systems, only the leading CMS, Plone, is good enough. Valentine Web Systems have delivered two websites. The first is&amp;nbsp;targeted&amp;nbsp;at investors where it is important that press-releases are published on time and not available to the public before they are published. The other website is translated into 11 languages where each language represents the countries where Jeeves has got local partners. Each partner has a login and can maintain their content themselves. The front page content is fully controlled by the editors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"In May 2010 we launched a new website which we have worked with very intensively since the beginning of this year. With the new website, we now have simple management of press releases, more multimedia plus a powerful and easy to use system for multilingual management for the local partner sites. During the whole development process cooperated closely with Valentine Web Systems who showed strong commitment and have been very helpful. Sasha and Per at Valentine have got enormous knowledge, are creative and will not give up until they find the best solution. They have the ability to combine their technical know-how with a good understanding of customer needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for a great job!"&lt;br /&gt;Cecilia Kullberg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="link-external"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.jeeves.se/sv"&gt;Jeeves Information Systems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Plone powers 50GB of environmental data, maps and figures</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/plone-powers-50gb-of-environmental-data</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/plone-powers-50gb-of-environmental-data</link>
                <description>
&lt;p&gt;Recently we upgraded our customers website for large data handling. The main development of the product eea.datatservice was done by our colleagues at
Eau de Web in Romania, and our part was to prepare Plone 2.5 to handle
large data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Back to the future - blobs in Plone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first solution for external storage was iw.fss, but due the cluster setup on our production server, we went with the blob approach because it is more future proof since it is part of the upcoming Plone 4 and doesn't require any shared read/write storage for all instances compared to iw.fss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We tried out the existing branch of blob support for Plone 2.5 but it was old and lacked functionality, so we had to &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/plone.app.blob/branches/svincic-plone-2.5-support/"&gt;cut a new branch&lt;/a&gt; to backport the latest plone.app.blob. While Andreas Z was working on it we where back-porting the code more or less day by day :) Today the blob support for Plone 2.5 allows files and images to be stored outside ZODB in blobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In eea.dataservice we have custom content types with large files and images where some are 18000x16000px! All these maps and figures are converted in to number of different formats. All the images are scaled in different sizes and everything is stored in blobs. To store scales in blobs we backported plone.app.imaging which is used in Plone 4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Fast but small servers - can't cache everything&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our cluster that is running on blade servers with very little local storage, we have to consider what to cache and where. The large storage on these servers is mounted from SAN, which is a fast and secure storage. The blob storage is mounted on the machine that runs the ZEO and additional to that we have smaller blobcaches for the instances on each machine, 25GB/machine. Since we can't fit the whole blobstorage in cache we clean it manually with a cron. In the newer ZODB3 and Plone there is configuration for automatic cleanup but we can't use it with Plone 2.5. This manual cleaning outside Plone has &lt;a class="external-link" href="https://svn.eionet.europa.eu/projects/Zope/ticket/2831"&gt;raised an issue where an instance expects the blob in the cache but it's not there&lt;/a&gt;. This happens if the object referring to the blob is in the object cache of the instance. If it is not the problem never arise since the blob is reloaded from ZEO. We are now testing different configurations for the object cache size before we try to catch those exeptions and try to reload the blob from ZEO instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="pullquote"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Open source&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All code used for this website is open sourced and available in Plone or collective repositories and Eionet SVN for i.e &lt;a class="external-link" href="https://svn.eionet.europa.eu/repositories/Zope/trunk/eea.dataservice/"&gt;eea.dataservice&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Plone grew with 50GB of data and 20% more traffic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;www.eea.europa.eu the Plone 2.5 site is now getting 20% more traffic and with 50GB more data than before the migration. Next step will be to migrate the multimedia and other large content to blobs which will probably free almost 10GB from the Data.fs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Want to know more?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please contact Sasha Vinčić for more information. Contact details on the right.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
&lt;p&gt;The grid for the open space was filled up with over 40 talks in just of couple minutes, that is more then the scheduled ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Valentine Web Systems team was represented by Per Thulin and me, Sasha Vinčić. I gave a talk about 'Managing multilingual sites' which I hope gave some enlightenment about use cases and pitfalls with multilingual sites. You can see the slides below and &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2440432"&gt;recording at ustream.tv&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="__ss_2375905" style="width: 425px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a title="Manage Multilingual Sites" href="http://www.slideshare.net/valentineweb/manage-multilingual-sites"&gt;Manage Multilingual Sites&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=managemultilingualsites-091029095513-phpapp02&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;stripped_title=manage-multilingual-sites"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed width="425" height="355" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=managemultilingualsites-091029095513-phpapp02&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;stripped_title=manage-multilingual-sites" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;div style="height: 26px;"&gt;View more &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/"&gt;presentations&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/valentineweb"&gt;Valentine Web Systems&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plone developers and integrators are as always busy working on interesting solutions. I understand why &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/microsoft-sharepoint-vp-hails-swiss-army-knife-software-platform-950"&gt;Microsoft's Jeff Tepper thought Plone is Sharepoints open source competitor&lt;/a&gt;. Plone may not be the most googled CMS but it is definitly the &lt;a title="The shoemakers kid has got new shoes – Plone 3.2 with a blog" class="internal-link" href="/en/blog/the-shoemakers-kids-has-got-new-shoes-2013-plone-3.2-with-a-blog"&gt;most secure&lt;/a&gt; and the biggest open source competitor to Sharepoint, Websphere and Documentum. Kees Hink and Kim Chee Leong told us how they hardened Plone to military strength. It was &lt;span id="msgtxt5261051936" class="msgtxt en"&gt;audited by Ernst &amp;amp; Young &amp;amp; Pine Digital Security granted certifiedsecure.eu certificate&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Valentine Web Systems provides multilingual and very secure portals built with Plone. If you want to know more, please &lt;a href="/en/contact-info"&gt;contact us&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>When we made internet history on Tjärö island</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/when-we-made-internet-history-on-tjaeroe-island</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/when-we-made-internet-history-on-tjaeroe-island</link>
                <description>
&lt;p&gt;Tjärö is a small and idyllic island in the Karlshamn archipelago in the Swedish southern region of Blekinge. The island is own by the Swedish Tourism Foundation and is for example equipped with a youth hostel, a camping ground, a restaurant and conference facilities. In other words: Most of the things that are needed for an IT sprint with a big gang of happy geeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was how the stage looked like when Tomas Wennström invited some of his friends to a meeting throughout August 21-23, where he expected 10 people at the most to show up. Well, he ended up facing a giant looking interest from people from everywhere to join the party. 286 persons from all the Nordic countries took the boat from Karlshamn to Tjärö to attend &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.swedensocialwebcamp.com/"&gt;Sweden Social Web Camp 2009&lt;/a&gt;, as the sprint was called. &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/attig/3853319461/in/set-72157622133556824/"&gt;Sasha Vinčić&lt;/a&gt; from Valentine Web Systems was one of them. Valentine Web Systems was, by the way, one of the sponsors of the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="image-right" src="/images/sweden-social-web-camp/image_preview" alt="Sweden Social Web Camp" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main idea behind Sweden Social Web Camp (SSWC) was to give hard working internet geeks from different places a chance to join up and enjoy some nice time together. Just to get a voice and a face on some of them who nowadays turn up on Twitter and other social forums on internet was gold worth. The fact that people from Norway, Finland and Denmark also showed up gave the event a border crossing touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sprint on Tjärö was not only about party and glamour but most of all a brainstorming society where everyone could share experiences and know how about Social Web. The scheduled sessions where the web people could share this valuable stuff with each other were very crowded. Dinner, brunch and peaceful moments by the camp fire were other opportunities for deep, thoughtful and friendly conversations &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The aftertaste for every attendant of SSWC has been like enjoying a tasty candy bar. A sprint like this creates everlasting bounds of friendship and the words of joy and appreciation has been numerous after SSWC. Everyone agrees about the thought that this is far from a one hit wonder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Says Tomas Wennström, the man behind SSWC: “I think we made internet history on Tjärö island.” You can´t describe it better than that.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Sprinting - Agile Development and Amazing Ways to Learn</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/sprinting-agile-development-and-amazing-way-to-learn</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/sprinting-agile-development-and-amazing-way-to-learn</link>
                <description>
&lt;p&gt;Me, Sasha Vinčić(&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://twitter.com/vincic"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;), and Per Thulin(&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://twitter.com/pthulin"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;) had an amazing time. This was Per's first sprint and he says it was everything he expected from what I have told him :) Over 20 people met up in Bristol to improve Plone CMS and have fun during the Balloon fiesta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Performance testing and benchmarking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I worked with Tom Lazar, Alan Hoey and Matthew Wilkes on plone performance testing and benchmarking with &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://funkload.nuxeo.org/"&gt;funkload&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; We continued on the &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/collective.funkload"&gt;collective.funkload&lt;/a&gt; by Ross Patterson and added a recipe &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/buildout/collective.recipe.funkload"&gt;collective.recipe.funkload&lt;/a&gt; wich is a convinient recipe to add funkload to your buildout. With funkload you can then run tests, benchmark and create reports from the results to see how the performance changes. Andreas Zeidler showed me &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mr.ripley/"&gt;mr.ripley&lt;/a&gt; which takes a normal log in combined form and replays it against the domain url you tell it too. This can be used to test new configurations of same buildout or to warm up a site after restart so objects get cached. I then realized this can be used to create funkload tests and use them for benchmarking a site with real life traffic patterns. I added the proxy functionality to mr.ripley (not in svn as of writing) and run the replay through funkload recorder proxy and wola we have tests from real traffic.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;TinyMCE replacing Kupu in Plone&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Per worked with Ben Mason, James Guest and Owen Curtis-Quick on the &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://plone.org/products/tinymce/"&gt;TinyMCE&lt;/a&gt; track in order to improve the integration with Plone, especially with regard to inserting images. This involved both working out ways to provide available image size dimensions that have been configured to the specific content type, and making the user interface more consistent with the rest of Plone. TinyMCE is the content editor that will be used in future versions of Plone, and a big reason for that is that it produces clean and valid markup. Therefore, another important fix that was done was to add some missing attributes on the image tag being produced. Rob, the maintainer of Products.TinyMCE happily reports that all this work has been merged into trunk and thus will become part of the next release of Products.TinyMCE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;XHTML validation, transmogrifier, 64bit acquisition and much more&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just want to mention some other topics that were worked on during the sprint. XHTML validation through automatic testing, you can write tests to validate your markup. This is important for tools like Deliverance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hanno Schlichting worked on some deep stuff like fixing C code for acquisition on 64 bits machines. There was bugfixes for LinguaPlone and release of transmogrifier which is a powerful transformer. Formgen, override skin templates/scripts with view... and probably some things I have missed.&lt;/p&gt;
A great sprint organized by TeamRubber in Bristol!

                <title>Europython - cloud databases, python in browser, search</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/europython-cloud-databases-javascript-fast-fulltext-search-and-all-this-in-python</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/europython-cloud-databases-javascript-fast-fulltext-search-and-all-this-in-python</link>
                <description>
&lt;p&gt;The first session I attended was &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk46"&gt;FluidDB by Terry Jones&lt;/a&gt;. Terry described it as "database with heart of wiki" and its a description I can support from what I have learned. It is a database where objects don't have owners so anyone can add and change metadata(attributes/tags) on them. But the tags have owners and therefore permissions. The big benefit from this approach is that you can add tags or metadata about the object to the object it self instead of creating your own database. Some good examples are all those Twitter apps out there which add or calculate information about the twitter user or the tweets and then store them in their own database. If Twitter used FluidDB everyone could store it's own extra metadata where the original objects where. Now let see if all the promises will be fulfilled when FluidDB is released in a month or so. I really hope they will because I heard Terry sold his apartment to invest in this, that is what I call an entrepreneur! There were two more sessions related to database, one about MongoDB and one about &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk6"&gt;CouchDB from Mozilla&lt;/a&gt;. The later uses the language Erlang to get the concurrency speed and it is a replicable and scalable database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Javascript is THE language for web 2.0 applications and it's much simpler to develop today with all the AJAX libraries out there but still hard to keep up with all the different browsers and it's bugs. That is specially true if you don't use it daily, like a python programmer like me. I was pleasantly suprised to see Pyjamas come this long way. Today it's possible to develop your user interface&amp;nbsp;in Python&amp;nbsp;and have it compiled to javascript that runs in the browser. This is definitely something we will try out because it also enables you to create desktop applications.&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk16"&gt; Luke Leighton who presented "The Zen of Pyjamas" &lt;/a&gt;even thought the HTML UI version was much nicer and had better quality then any widget library like PyQ4, PyGTK, wxPython. The main reason for this was that there had gone far more development hours into the web components.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fulltext search is one powerfull feature in Plone that we use in our daily job. But on large websites it's good to separate the indexing and searching to separate server or service. The &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk55"&gt;"Search with Python and Xapian" was a nice session by Richard Boulton&lt;/a&gt; where I saw how to use Python to index and search in Xapian as an external web service. &amp;nbsp;I also saw&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk19"&gt; Open Object&lt;/a&gt; in action from the Open ERP project and I was impressed how simple it is to create enterprise applications with it. Walking back to hotel I thought "What is the difference between Open ERP and SAP?" &amp;nbsp;SAP has limitations on what it can do and no limitations on the cost, Open ERP has no limitations on what it can do because it's open source and the price well you decide. If you google for Open ERP and SAP this was top hit for me :) &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://fptiny.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-sap-meet-open-erp.html"&gt;http://fptiny.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-sap-meet-open-erp.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Web Systems will be represented at &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/"&gt;EuroPython 2009&lt;/a&gt; by company founder
Sasha Vinčić who will attend the conference this year. Sasha&amp;nbsp;Vinčić&amp;nbsp;is looking very much forward to the EuroPython 2009 conference to get
to learn more about what is going on in the wonderful world of
Python. Cloud computing and web are interesting subjects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meeting
old friends who also attend EuroPython 2009 is another highlight.
Like Matt Hamilton from Netsight Internet Solutions who is giving the
”Lipstick on a Pig” talk about using Deliverance to skin third
party system or Bernd Dorn from Lovely Systems with the talk ”Real
World App Engine Projects” about how to get the best out of App
Engine, and related technologies such as Bigtable, Amazon S3, EC2 and
Cloudfront. There will of course be many more familiar faces to meet
in the crowd, be sure about that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There
are a &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/"&gt;big number of talks&lt;/a&gt; that look really interesting to a happy
Python fanatic from Sweden, such as Reliable Python Web Sites,
Semantic Apps With CubicWeb, Tapping Into The Web Of Data, The Zen Of
Pyjamas and Castles In The Cloud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The
week in Birmingham will be a joyride beyond all borders. See you
there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want to know what’s going on inside the head of a happy Plone user? Now, this is your chance of a lifetime to do that. Netsight is twittering directly from &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://plone.org/events/regional/european-symposium-2009"&gt;the European Plone Symposium 2009&lt;/a&gt; which is held in Sorrento, Italy this week. Imagine seven days of nothing but ”Ploning” in three different levels: Training sessions, symposiums and sprints. It has to be next door to heaven for a Plone fanatic.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’re most welcome to follow Netsights everyday instant reports on Twitter at &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://twitter.com/netsight"&gt;http://twitter.com/netsight&lt;/a&gt;. How about these excited Twitter comments from the European Symposium 2009: &lt;em&gt;”Just seen 30 second demo of Plone tiles and editing UI for new plone. Wow! Blown away at just how cool it is, really looking forward to it… Missed Underscore meetup :( In Sorrento for Plone Symposium :D Life is good… Plone 4 to be released in 2009, smaller subset of features than originally planned, but bringing cool stuff sooner.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Netsight is continuously giving you more virtual comments and reports from beutiful Sorrento as the Plone Symposium proceeds throughout this week. Keep close to it at Twitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if we enviously follow the Big Event in Sorrento, sadly knowing that we couldn't be there this time, we make sure that our dear company Valentine Web Systems always catch up with the latest news about Plone and also secure that all our costumers are well equipped and prepared for the future to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We´ve spent the last nine years working a lot with web sites like &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.eea.europa.eu/sv"&gt;EEA – European Environment Agency&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.jeeves.se/sv"&gt;Jeeves&lt;/a&gt; and we´ve got to learn so many good things when it comes to multilingual web sites. So far we´ve just written in technical English on our web site but from now on we would like to proceed and explain to you all why Plone is the most secure CMS and one of the best multilingual working tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all: Let´s all realize the fact that thousands of happy and satisfied users all over the world all states the same: Plone rules the world! Plone is the most powerful and easy-to-use CMS there is. It´s easy to install, use and extend. Plone lets non-technical people create and maintain information using only a web browser. It´s as easy as 1, 2, 3...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ordinary people and big companies from all over the world has discovered all the great possibilities about Plone. Many of them are more than just rookies. We´re talking about really big guys like Amnesty International, the Government and the Parliament in Brazil, NASA, Nokia and a big number of universities and museums around the world. As we are long time Plone users we do feel honored to be a part of such a noble society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handling many different languages on a web site or a blog demands capability by the system. There are no written rules about what´s right or wrong. Please take a look at these two web sites and you´ll see what we mean. http://www.eionet.europa.eu/software/design/multilinguality/missingpagedilemma&lt;br /&gt;http://www.eionet.europa.eu/software/design/multilinguality/navigation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The multilinguality of Plone is very flexible and creates new possibilities for you as a user to handle the cases when it comes to simple interpretations of the whole web site or complex lingual combinations where only some specific parts are interpreted. This means for example navigation that works in every level without bothering the user and interpreted tags that still means the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In handling big web sites like EEA automatic transportation is used for all material that needs to be interpreted or updated. The stuff is sent for interpretation and after that imported with a simple drag-n-drop funktion. According to our knowledge there are no other system that manage to do that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="external-link" href="http://plone.org"&gt;Are you curious about Plone&lt;/a&gt; you might surf in to plone.org. All the needed info about Plone and all the latest updating info are to be found there. Are you looking for blogs and comments by Plone users you might as well visit &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://planet.plone.org"&gt;planet.plone.org&lt;/a&gt;. Twitter is another source for info about Plone. &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://twitter.com/valentineweb"&gt;twitter.com/valentineweb&lt;/a&gt; is where we share our experiences about Plone. If you´re in to statistics please don´t forget to visit the &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://plonemetrics.blogspot.com"&gt;statistic blog about Plone&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="image-right" src="../images/documented-security-holes/image_preview" alt="Documented security holes" /&gt;When it comes to security there are no other system that can beat Plone. Plone had 10 security holes in a statistic comparison where, for example, Wordpress had 162 security holes, Joomla 324 and the language PHP as many as 9869 documented security holes compared to 65 in the language Python that Plone is written in.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>How to add repoze to your plone buildout</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/plone-repoze-and-buildout</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/plone-repoze-and-buildout</link>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;There is no straightforward way to run plone, repoze and buildout yet, atleast not if you want to use a plone/zope version other than the one repoze.plone ships with. &lt;a href="http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7825"&gt;Chris McDonough has this ticket&lt;/a&gt; assigned to him, so there will hopefully be an official and easy way soon. Until then this is how I got it to work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Buildout.cfg:

&lt;pre&gt;
[buildout]
parts = plone repoze zope2 instance addpath
eggs =
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org

[plone]
recipe = plone.recipe.plone

[zope2]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
url = ${plone:zope2-url}

[repoze]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
     PasteScript
     WSGIUtils
     repoze.zope2
     deliverance
     ${plone:eggs}

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
zope2-location = ${zope2:location}
user = admin:admin
http-port = 8080
debug-mode = on
verbose-security = on
eggs =
    ${buildout:eggs}
    ${plone:eggs}
products =
    ${plone:products}

[addpath]
recipe = z3c.recipe.runscript
update-script = addpath.py:main
install-script = addpath.py:main
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is not that different from a normal plone buildout. What's new is [repoze] which installs paste, deliverance and repoze eggs and scripts to enable wsgi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you want to start the instance you can either start it the old way without enabling repoze or wsgi::
&lt;pre&gt;
  $ bin/instance fg
&lt;/pre&gt;

or you can start with repoze and wsgi enabled::
&lt;pre&gt;
  $ bin/paster serve paste.ini
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You need do add the paste.ini file to your buildout. The file says where it can find zope.conf, what server should run and what middleware should be in the wsgi pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last in buildout.cfg there's an 'addpath' section, which is a little hack to come around the fact that repoze has a dependency on zopelib which is an egg with all of zope2. But here I want to use the version of zope that is officially supported for the current plone version instead of the version that comes with repoze. So addpath runs a script that adds 'parts/instance/lib/python' to the top of the egg listing in bin/paster. The result is that the compiled zope will be used instead of repoze's zopelib.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can find a buildout with all necessary files in &lt;a href="http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/experimental.plonerepozebuildout"&gt;collective trac&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/experimental.plonerepozebuildout"&gt;collective svn&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
To make repoze/wsgi easier with buildout I think we would need to make a repozpe.zope2-like package without the plone and zope dependencies that repoze.zope2 currently has. Then you could pass 'extra_paths = ${zope2:location}/lib/python' to zc.recipe.egg and the compiled zope2 would be found. That would make [addpath] obsolete. This would be a first step to ease the use of repoze in buildout.
&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <title>Viewlets in Grok</title>
                <guid>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/viewlets-in-grok</guid>
                <link>http://valentinewebsystems.com/en/blog/viewlets-in-grok</link>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I had a great time at the snow sprint. I paired with Martijn Faasen and Robert Marianski and we implemented viewlets for Grok. It's nearly finished. It is working, but it needs a few more tests before it will be merged to trunk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is what your viewlet code could look like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
class PortalHeader(grok.ViewletManager):
    grok.name('header')

class Logo(grok.Viewlet):
    grok.viewletmanager(PortalHeader)
    grok.template('logo')

    def update(self):
        self.willBeAvailableInTemplate = 8
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A template that wants to render the 'header' viewlet would include this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&amp;lt;div tal:content="structure provider:header" /&amp;gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wrote a sample grok application, &lt;a href="https://svn.valentinewebsystems.se/public/grokremoteinclude/"&gt;grokremoteinclude&lt;/a&gt; , to make sure the grok viewlets were compatible with other zope3 packages dealing with viewlets. It's a buildout, running it will install the grok app, nginx and varnish. Read the README.txt for instructions how to get going. The application uses SSI which allows viewlets to be either cached or retrieved from another server. The same technique can be used in Plone which was &lt;a href="http://valentinewebsystems.se/proof-of-concept-enabling-ssi-on-plone-3-portlets/weblogentry_view"&gt;recently reported&lt;/a&gt; by Sasha Vincic.&lt;/p&gt;

Viewlets in Grok are really nice - no zcml and no macros. The viewlets are in a seperate &lt;a href="http://svn.zope.org/grok/branches/snowsprint-viewlets2"&gt;branch&lt;/a&gt; if you want to try them out.</description>
