New Zope 3 wiki : http://zope3.zwiki.org/FrontPage This will be available from wiki.zope.org later.

I am a frequent visitor of Planet Python, also a subscriber. I also visit http://planet.ubuntu.com/ and http://planet.gnome.org/ regularly. I liked all kinds of posts. The policy of Ubuntu and GNOME planets are given at top of their pages. From planet.gnome.org: "Planet GNOME is a window into the world, work and lives of GNOME hackers and contributors." From planet.ubuntu.com: "Planet Ubuntu is a window into the world, work and lives of Ubuntu developers and contributors." Previously I have written an entry about this: http://baijum81.livejournal.com/11153.html I expect at least a sentence about the policy of Planet Python, so that I can adjust my feeds according to that. I think this will be useful for others too. IMHO, it should be something similar to the above mentioned policies.

I was reading Tarek's post on Python marketing: http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/2006/10/15/marketing-python-is-urgent-part-1-a-python-certification/ He suggests a Python certification program. Is this list created for discussion related to Python Advocacy?. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/advocacy/ But I cann't see any posts there (hmm.. I send one in last month, just to test)

Yesterday (Sunday) I went to Tomy's home and invited them for my marriage. Before that I spend about 2 hours with Nithya at 'Idavazhi'. Later I went to core for sending invitation to Kotas. I scanned letter and send to them. Today I will send it to Arun,Dideesh etc.

I was thinking about writing a diary recently. In fact I forget many things. I think it has a good aspect, yes forgetting. But there is nothing wrong if we record it somewhere. Sometimes we can go through the old archives and see what you were doing. Why ? nothing.. just to see .. that's all. Now I am sitting in office, soorjith is just opposite to me. Nandu and a new programmer (Sachin) is in the next room. I have to teach him (Sachin) some technologies we use. Well..I am going there now. But before that I have to make a commit.

Oh! this is very nice: $ python2.5 Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 27 2006, 12:21:46) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> any built-in function any >>> all built-in function all >>> print any.__doc__ any(iterable) -> bool Return True if bool(x) is True for any x in the iterable. >>> print all.__doc__ all(iterable) -> bool Return True if bool(x) is True for all values x in the iterable. >>> any([1,2]) True >>> all([1,2]) True >>> any([1,0]) True >>> all([1,0]) False Hey, I have made few edits here, (blame livejournal's `pre` tag), noticed it ? :)

Plone celebrate its fifth anniversary: http://plone.org/news/plone-fifth-anniversary I am an outsider to this community, but I have always watched this project. In my opinion, plone is - a great project - a great product - a great community And it has great leadership also. I think community building is much more than creating a big project. May be creating a community with lots of buzz is possible, but making it active always is not easy. And code base is not the only thing required for a successful project. Plone is a great success compared to many other big projects.
