The eighth annual Plone Conference - talks, sprints and training

In recent years Bristol has had one of the largest city delegations attending the Plone Conference, and every year (usually after a few beers) we keep saying it would be great to hold the Plone Conference in the UK.  Well, we've finally risen to the challenge — Netsight Internet Solutions are pleased to announce the 2010 Plone conference in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Bristol is one of a group of English core cities and the most popular city in the South West of England. Bristol is ranked amongst the top three English cities after London. It is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region. There is so much to see, do and experience in Bristol and the city accommodates for all tastes and preferences.

It is the birthplace of the Concorde, Massive Attack and the National Cycle Network, the home of Rolls Royce, famous Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, clay heros Wallace and Gromit and artist Banksy. It was also the starting point for John Cabot on his voyage to discover the New World.

Conference Vision and Goals

Bristol is an ideal location to host the annual Plone Conference 2010 both for those coming from Europe and also from further afield such as the US.

We plan to invest time heavily into marketing the UK Plone conference. Within Bristol we hope to drum up publicity from the local media as well as aiming to promote Plone to Local Government's and other contacts within organisations that we have. We will be encouraging other UK Plone development companies to invite along clients using Plone and potential clients wishing to learn more about Plone.

Holding the conference in the UK, Netsight aim to increase the UK Plone community and encourage more developers to join, we also hope to reinforce to many organisations why Open Source and in particular Plone is the best solution for many web based projects.

The main goals and objectives for hosting the conference in Bristol are:

  • To promote Plone & Open Source in the UK & Bristol and use the conference as a marketing opportunity to reach out to organisations.
  • To promote python in the UK and encourage more developers into the community and Plone.
  • To put Bristol on the map in terms of Plone development.

Conference Dates

The planned main conference dates will be from the 27th - 29th October 2010.
