Kudos to Florent Guillaume!
Florent Guillaume's work to bridge back the Zope3 event model to Zope2 is an amazing feat.

Goldegg / CMF 2.0 Sprint Wrap-up
tl;dr
The sprint at Schloss Goldegg was amazingly productive, and unlike some sprints, seems to have generated momentum for work beyond the tasks accomplished at the sprint.
Zopecast #1 Available
Chris McDonough has released the first of what he hopes will be a series of Zope-centric "podcast" audio shows. He and I do a "current Zope news" segment at the start; the last half is a cool interview with Phillip von Weitershausen.
Doodling with JSR-170
tl;dr
Th JSR-170 specification, also called "Content Repository for Java(TM) technology API", is somewhat painful to work with from within the Zope and Python world.
Zope Content Management Futures
Slides for my keynote talk at the EuroPython 2005 Zope Track are now online.
Pipelines 0.1 Released
This is the initial release of the pipelines package Ivo van der Wijk
and I developed during last week's Zope3 ECM sprint.
The package makes it possible to chain together arbitraty filters, which are called sequentially to process a given object. Pipelines may be created in Python code, or via ZCML; they are designed to be registered (in Zope 3 / Zope 2.8+) as utilities or event subscribers.

Fredericksburg ZPUG Kickoff
I presented a talk on Zelenium last night to the inaugural meeting of the Fredericksburg ZPUG. There were about 10 folks there, including a bunch of my friends from ZC.
My OpenOffice presentation slides are here.
Speaking at Inaugural Meeting of the FXBG ZPUG
tl;dr
I will be previewing the Selenium / Zelenium talk I plan to present at the Plone Symposium in New Orleans.
ZECMA, anyone?
Julien Anguenot and the folks at Nuxeo have announced a new collaboration site for a community-drive Zope3 ECM project.
This project aims to build out a number of shared components for Zope3, which would be usable as the underpinnings of CMS offerings from Nuxeo, Infrae, Zope Corporation, etc.
I will be participating in a Z3 ECM Sprint which focuses on advancing this project's goals.
Using Zope 2.7.0 and CMF 1.4.2 in OpenPKG 2.0
I recently repackaged Zope for OpenPKG, upgrading it to version 2.7.0. I also packaged CMF, version 1.4.2. Here is how you can install them (note that Python 2.3.3 is a prereq, with make, binutils, and gcc as the "transitive" prereqs).
