Today is the World Plone Day and JoAnna suggested us to post about why do we love Plone, so here I go. I became interested in Zope when I spotted a printed copy of The Zope Book in the Students’ Council premises of my faculty. I learned the basics of acquisition, object hierarcy and… DTML! […]

I think that the reaction of some sectors of the Mozilla community when Chrome was released was a bit too defensive. Looks like some people are so inmerse into the Mozilla world they can’t accept that sometimes people from outside have great ideas too and they have to say the last word. One of the […]
Last week I started a project using Relational Databases for Zassh.com. At first, I tried to construct the SQL queries myself using string joins, tuples and so but soon I realized the problems using this method: It’s error-prone.

There will be a Firefox 3 show, merchandising raffles, out of control geekism and a lot, a lot of good humour and famous people. If you’re a […]
Last Saturday the first community-wide Flock l10n meeting was held in irc.flock.com/#l10n, and I wanted to write a quick summary of it and share my thoughts about. Thanks to everybody who attended! First of all, Grouse, Flock 1.2 codename, is about 2 weeks away from being released! We’ll announce a public beta in the site […]
