Happy Birthday to Plone!

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.

PyCon India 2014 received 143 proposals

Yesterday was the last date for submitting proposals. Now we have 143 proposals, which includes workshops and regular talks. Now it's time for voting and commenting. Everyone can participate in this process. You are welcome to provide feedback to the speakers about their proposals. Your feedback through comments will help the speakers to improve the proposal. I think it will be a challenging task for the selection committee to come up with a final list of talks. I have proposed two talks, but I prefer to present the second one - about pytest. Pytest is my favourite testing tool. Please let me know your suggestions about this talk.
