The following is from https://plone.org/about/:

Plone is a powerful, flexible Content Management Solution that is easy to install, use and extend. Plone lets non-technical people create and maintain information for a public website or an intranet using only a web browser. Organizations as diverse as NASA, Oxfam, Amnesty International, Nokia, eBay, Novell, the State Universities of Pennsylvania and Utah, as well as the Brazilian and New Zealand governments — all use Plone.

We also have talks on data/analytics, web development, server/infra management, the Raspberry Pi, the Internet of Things, and many others from Philippine Python developers.

A lot of members from our own Filipino scientific community will be presenting as well. Off the top of my head we have physicists, astronomers, molecular biologists, and meteorologists.

The second day will also have workshops for beginners, machine learning, and web development with Django.

Pwede ba beginners ani? as in beginners gyud sa python?

[daryl]

@marzzz21 Yes. A lot of the talks are beginner-friendly and should be easy to understand if you code in another language. There is also a workshop on the second day for beginners.
