On our annual conference in Germany we discussed the motto for the  
next World Plone Day. This year the local groups made a website for a  
local school for free during the World Plone Day. They started in the  
morning and presented the outcome in the afternoon. This was a great  
success in the press, so we want to have a similar motto next year.

We have several ideas but made no decision yet: a free website for a  
NGO, for the municipality or a special focus as 'Intranets with Plone'.

Another idea was to show the audience the way we develop and improve  
Plone with sprints and to have some kind of national or international  
sprint during the WPD over IRC while the sprinters sit in a  
neighboring room to the room where we held the talks. So we could show  
the audience how we work, how new users can join the community, how  
they can report a bug or make a feature request, we can give them a  
real open source experience. We could even make live transmissions  
from different locations via Skype to show the audience that Plone is  
used all over the world.

What do you think about this?

Cheers!

Both ideas are awesome. We might get some international press if we  
did an international sprint so I will put my hand up to organize the  
Australian part of the sprint.

Great idea!... i started to consider it seriously for our local edition.
wpd2010 moves forward, great, great.

If i'm not wrong, last year Dylan Jay suggested something like that and
i argued against this idea. After reading your mail and thinking about
it again, i believe, i made a mistake.

World Plone Day is about promoting plone and as Jon Stahl told me once
'We're all figuring it out [how to do it] as we go.'(*) so, if you
believe that could work out, you should *Just do it*.

Organizing a sprint requires extra work, for example contacting core
developers or convincing the plone-tuneup-dream-team joining us,
managing tasks, code and i believe all these tasks are out of my
possibilities, i believe we could start moving forward defining a
champion for it.

(*) the sentence is out of the original scope, anyway, I personally
proved it works on other scopes as well :D
