[EuroPython] EP website and tools : replacing CPS by Plone

[Matthew Bull]

Dear All,

I'll pitch in here, the thing the always stopped me from offering to
help with the website was the need to learn / battle with CPS, I have
neither the time nor the mindspace to learn yet another CMS, but take it
to Plone and I'll help....
