I decided to attend PyCon this year; there are a lot of people going there that I'd like to meet, and a lot of people I'd like to run into again. Oh, and there are cool talks too! We just had a constructive general meeting of the Zope Foundation on IRC, the first one under the new bylaws. I'm on the board of the Zope Foundation. In fact, until thursday this week, when hopefully the new board gets seated, I'm its chairman. Chris McDonough just posted a capsule criticism of the Zope project and culture to zope-dev in a discussion I started. I believe Chris and I have been "violently" agreeing on most many issues in this discussion... I thought this characterization is quite interesting and I'd like to share it with the wider world. I agree with it so much and disagree so much at the same time. This week a bunch of us (myself, Christian Theune, Wolfgang Schnerring, Brandon Rhodes, Jan-Wijbrand Kolman and Sylvain Viollon) have been sprinting in my house at the "Grok Cave sprint". We've been working on cleaning up Zope 3's dependency structure, which in places is very hairy. This meant that you could often pull in one fairly innocent looking Zope 3 package and as a result pull in almost all of them. This makes it difficult to reuse packages and upgrade code. Loosely coupled code and all that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
