It's just around the corner now...

The Open Source CMS Summit, back-to-back with Northern Voice and Moosecamp.

I am signed up for the following sessions so far at the CMS Summit:  

I'm looking forward to it. It'll test my geek mettle, but I'm up for it. To be an effective translator of the tools to the outside world, I need to be able to speak geek.

In completely other news: I invested in a Litebook today, in the hopes that it will live up to its claims and help alleviate the fatigue and blahs that I tend to feel through Vancouver winters. I'll keep you posted...

...Heather G-M about Plone. She just did an implementation after she and I looked at a whole mess of CMS, both open-source and non-open-source. From what I recall she had a Plone-head do some of the customization for her, but is mostly happy with it, so far. Drop her a line and chat, if you wanna.

Heather was an attendee at Web of Change last year. :) Small world.

I seem to be working mostly with Drupal these days, but I want to be able to navigate and speak intelligently about Plone, and to know the strengths and weaknesses of different platforms.

...HGM mentioned she met all sorts of cool Canuks up at Web Of Change, and thus I found you via her WOC flickrstream. Well, that, and it seems most of the cool photos I see on Flickr are made by Canadians. Go figure. If only I could afford island real-estate up there....

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
