ZCA book translations - bzr - Launchpad - user group

Lorenzo Gil Sanchez (Gazpacho fame) is working on a Spanish
translation of ZCA book (PDF). It was a surprise for me to see a new bzr
branch at Launchpad for Spanish translation. Kent Tenney was also
excited, keep up the good work, Lorenzo ! I have published his
translation in my site (PDF). If anyone want to help him with
this translation or start a new translation to another language, you can
simply create bzr branch there and start working it.

Since I am involved in Zope 3, I become a heavy svn user. Now, after
I started using bzr for this project I realized the power of bzr (This
may be applicable to other DVCS). Currently we have three active
branches, the feature I like very much is merging from other branches
(Oh ! it's really cool). Thanks to Canonical for providing such a nice
hosting for bzr. After all Launchpad is a ZCA based application, then
how it won't be cool ? ;)

Since I published this work in last month, there was almost 5000 hits
for ZCA book. Also I got good comments and feedbacks in my journal
and through mail. It looks like people are also interested in
translating this work to other languages. To coordinate all these
efforts, I have created a google group. So, if you are interested to
help me in any way to finish this work, you can join me there.
Well, this is not a general discussion list for ZCA itself, you can
use zope3-users list for that.

Some thoughts on Python 3 adoption

IMHO, every Python community member should try to promote Python 3. I know there are criticisms about Python 3 -- whatever it is, " Python 3 is the present and future of the language ". Constructive criticisms should be welcomed and that should lead to better Python 3.x releases. As a community member what we can do to promote Python 3 ? I am looking forward to your thoughts on this.  Please write your comments here or you can write it in your blog and leave a link here. Before giving any new suggestions, let me check what are the small things that I have tried. In the beginning of 2011, I have created a website with the help of other community members to increase the adoption of Python 3 by collecting issues in a central location.  That idea didn't worked well, then I dropped that project. I have given a lightning talk about that project during PyCon 2011 in Atlanta . I have tried to use Python 3 for my personal projects and written blogs about my experience . ...

Ugadi, Weekend, Office, Zope 3, Buildout

I thought just to write something now. Today is Ugadi [1], a few days back only I heard this word. This is a festival in Karnataka and some other parts of Deccan region of India. I am from Kerala [2], we have a similar festival coming up in next month called Vishu [3] . So happy Ugadi to all ! . Today is leave for my company [4], so we got 3 days consecutive leave. I could have gone to my home, but for some reason I postponed it to next week. One reason is that my wife's final year exam is starting today, so I though let she study :) Remember my last post about Zope 3 [5], I wrote there that Zope 3 is evolving. Today morning I came to office to explore Zope 3 and Buildout. (I don't yet have a laptop, so office is the only place where I can do some coding) I am sitting alone in this big office now, oh! what a silence !! Today I manged to run a Zope 3 application solely from egg [6] Oh! I cannot write anymore, I think I am feeling loneliness now. Hmm.. better to go to ...
