I updated three Plone instances with the Plone-Hotfix-Patch today. This instances were used by the German Association (NGO) Freies Office Deutschland e.V., the current legal entity behind LibreOffice /TDF, the ODFAuthors group and for the upcomming LibreOffice extensions and templates repository. The security update for Plone takes - as usal - less than 10 minutes per instance.

The Plone Software Center drives the upcoming LibreOffice Extension and Template Center. Because some of the extensions for LibreOffice had to be build and released especially for Linux-x64, the Plone Software Center need an option for that. I added this option last weekend and uploaded it with an special penguin image to the community repository of Plone today.

I added Plone Software Center to my local buildout script and and installed this add-on product. Afterwards I activated this product and created a software center in my local Plone instance. I tested some features of this product to get an overview of the features of this product.
This product is used on Plone.org to provide the software and a lot of add-ons: http://plone.org/products.

I worked today on an update of OOoAuthors to a new minor version of Plone 4. Every thing went smoothly and it took shorter then I expected. I made a backup of the database and run the buildout of Plone during 8 minutes. ODFAuthors is up to date now.

I worked on a RSS-Feed for the new ODFAuthors site today. It was a bit tricky to enable it, because it is well hidden ;-)
But this feature is now available for every folder of the site. It can be enabled for every folder seperately. There is a first feed (for test purpose) available at http://www.odfauthors.org/RSS.

I worked on a new Plone4 CMS for the authors around Open Document Format with Jean since Christmas. I run into some trouble to get the necessary content from OOoAuthors.org to the new site. Now we have nearly finished our work with the setup of the new environment. The new CMS for authors around ODF is online and wait for its users from the documentation teams of OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice (and maybe later from other ODF open source applications). The site is available at http://www.odfauthors.org or http://www.odfauthors.com. Get your account on the new plattform and have fun ;-)

I created a new Plone 4 instance (a powerfull CMS) for the team of Authors around the Open Document Format. The site get a new layout with the color orange. There is some work to do, but we try to finish it in the next days.
