Plone Conference 2009 Location: Budapest!

[Announce mailing list]

The Plone Foundation board of directors is pleased to announce that
we've chosen Budapest as the location for Plone Conference 2009!

Plone Conference 2009 will be organized by Greenfinity and Open Society
Institute, and will be held October 28-30, 2009.

As many of you know, we received two *outstanding* bids this year,
Budapest and Barcelona. It was a very difficult choice.  In the recent
advisory vote, Plone Foundation members voted 57%-43% in favor of
Budapest, but there was lots of enthusiasm and positive feedback for
both proposals.

We'd like to thank both the Budapest and Barcelona conference teams for
all the hard work, creative thought and energy they put into their
proposals.  These were two of the best conference proposals we've ever
seen, and a testament to the vitality, enthusiasm and organizing
capacity of the Plone community.

Keep an eye on http://plone.org/events/conferences/2009 for conference
information as it becomes available!

best,
jon

Dear Plone community members,

The Plone community has recently chosen Budapest as the location for  
Plone
Conference 2009.

As organizers of the competing Barcelona proposal, we would like to  
congratulate
the Budapest team for their success. We are sure they will deliver a  
great
conference!

We are happy that you have given us the opportunity to submit our  
proposal
for Barcelona. We are pleased with the 43% votes in favour of  
Barcelona, and
have to give credits to a voting process that has evolved in a  
positive way.

Given the considerable level of support for our project, we feel  
encouraged to
offer an even better and more innovative proposal for a Plone  
conference 2010 in
Barcelona!

Besides these long-term plans, we feel that there is still enough room  
for
organising a smaller Plone symposium or conference in Barcelona in the  
near
future, and will keep you informed about our ideas.

We would like to say thank you to the Plone community and supporters
in general, and the Plone Foundation members and board of directors in
particular. You are what makes Plone so great!

See you all in Budapest 2009 !
