I took part in my first Plone sprint over the weekend. The Theming sprint took part after the main Plone conference in Washington, but I did it from the comfort of my own study. Actually the whole experience was pretty hands-off: I checked in with the others via IRC, agreed what I’d be working on and off I went.

The result is a new Plone theme: Andreas02, an open source web design by Andreas Viklund. It’s a nice simple two-column design. I’ve checked it into PyPi for testing and have already noticed a couple of small things that need changing. Once I’ve done that, I’ll add some info to the Plone themes section of this site, check it into the Collective  and create a new project on plone.org.

Looks like some good work came out of the sprint, including some pretty good designs.

I’ve just read this article on Deliverance, courtesy of Planet Plone. I’m talking about a platform for content delivery from Plone (and other platforms) rather than the film obviously (”squeal piggy squeal!”).

Err, anyway, there’s lots of useful stuff in there, although I’m still not really any the wiser about how it works in practice.

I got totally beaten by the fact that I could not get Hamnavoe to install via buildout so I rebuilt it using paster from the command line. I’ve released this on plone.org and PyPi as version 1.0.1. There are no changes to the design but at least it should install properly
