I wanted to wish Plonistas a safe journey to Naples for what will be another fantastic Plone conference!

Back in Seattle, we’re looking forward to hearing post-conference highlights at our upcoming Halloween Plone Meeting.

I’m particularly excited for five Seattle-area Plonistas (that I know of) who are presenting this year. After seeing previews of two of these presentations in September, I know conference attendees are in for a treat:

• Andrew Burkhalter, Jon Stahl, and Veda Williams from ONENW are presenting on a nice range of topics spanning from those new to Plone 3 all the way through advanced Plone skinning, development and integration.

• Jonathan Callahan will be presenting Plone for Government Science – How to get buy in from managers, security watchdogs and colleagues.

• Paul Bugni will be presenting Where’s the source, Luke? : How to find and debug the code behind Plone.
