Plone Raises Its Profile With Award And World Plone Day
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, Nov. 7th, 2008, is World Plone Day. No, it's not some obscure holiday
| you've never heard of, but instead an opportunity for the community of
| developers and users of the Plone content management system to try and get
| the word out.
|
| [...]
|
| I was frankly surprised at the number of well-known sites using Plone as
| their CMS of choice, and while that shouldn't automatically sway your
| organization, it should give you good reason to add Plone to your evaluation
| list. Plone has received accolades and built a strong following for good
| reason -- its ease of use, extensibility, strong documentation, and a
| supportive user community make it a solid choice.

Open Source Government?
,----[ Quote ]
| In September, he closed his fund and returned money to his investors, stating
| that the risk of a bank collapse, which would be hell for hedge funds, was
| too high: "While we concede there are additional opportunities in this
| episode of crisis and uncertainty, we have concluded that those opportunities
| are far outweighed by the risks attendant in the use of the over-the-counter
| derivatives market."
|
| [...]
|
| Not content with just providing meritocratic solutions to our economic
| system, he said meritocracies all around and set his sights on fixing our
| government, saying that since "Thomas Jefferson and Adam Smith" we've had
| a "dearth of worthy philosophers in this country, at least ones focused on
| improving government," (clearly forgetting that Adam Smith was Scottish) and
| said Linux's open-source model was the way to governmental enlightenment:
|
| George Soros, a man of staggering wealth, has stated that he would like
| to be remembered as a philosopher. My suggestion is that this great man
| start and sponsor a forum for great minds to come together to create a
| new system of government that truly represents the common man's interest,
| while at the same time creating rewards great enough to attract the best
| and brightest minds to serve in government roles without having to rely
| on corruption to further their interests or lifestyles. This forum could
| be similar to the one used to create the operating system, Linux, which
| competes with Microsoft's near monopoly. I believe there is an answer,
| but for now the system is clearly broken.
