Want to have hundreds of people see your talk on the subject of your choice? Have some hot button issue you think the community needs to address, or have some package, code or project you simply love talking about? Want to launch your master plan to take over the world with python? PyCon is your platform for getting the word out and teaching something new to hundreds of people, face to face. Previous PyCon conferences have had a broad range of presentations, from reports on academic and commercial projects, tutorials on a broad range of subjects and case studies. All conference speakers are volunteers and come from a myriad of backgrounds. Some are new speakers, some are old speakers. Everyone is welcome so bring your passion and your code! We're looking to you to help us top the previous years of success PyCon has had. PyCon 2010 is looking for proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks. The PyCon conference days will be February 19-22, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia, preceded by the tutorial days (February 17-18), and followed by four days of development sprints (February 22-25). Online proposal submission is open now! Proposals will be accepted through October 1st, with acceptance notifications coming out on November 15th. For the detailed call for proposals, please see: For videos of talks from previous years - check out: We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta! -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "I saw `cout' being shifted "Hello world" times to the left and stopped right there." --Steve Gonedes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/ -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From FDimauro at unch.unc.edu Thu Aug 20 16:53:05 2009 From: FDimauro at unch.unc.edu (Dimauro, Frank) Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:53:05 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] Plone2PDF?

The instructions on the product page are convoluted and chock full of dependencies/requisites so before I embark on this I just want to see if there are any caveats from local users. I want to put in place a Plone to pdf export function to avoid the redundant steps of creating content locally, exporting to PDF then uploading pdf file to Plone for download by user. The goal is to have Plone serve as the primary content source (instead of a Word file on someone's PC), then allow user to export to pdf if needed. A document managing system, what.
