Plone Confab @ 2 pm, Friday, November 12, 2010

a sample custom workflow we will develop and use

We will be holding our next Plone confab in the IDEA lab (basement of Polk) this Friday 2 pm - 4:30 pm.

We'll start with an update on what's been happening in the Plone world and where we are in terms of current and upcoming Plone projects.

I will then demonstrate how to create a simple workflow application entirely through the web (ie. no programming required), by building a form and assigning a custom workflow to it.

Following that we will have open Q&A.

The Plone confabs are informal and open to all (developers, web site users, content creators). Bring your questions, tips, and techniques, and I hope to see many of you there!
