During the past days I have been more busy than usual with the Fellows volunteering to maintain and enhance the Fellowship portal.  I realized that eZ is probably not so difficult to play with, once you get the basics.

Thinking about the upcoming meeting I thought: why not try inviting a eZ expert to Bolzano to give us a brief introduction to eZ Publish?  I have asked some people around and after a first round of email exchange I can say that a brief workshop on eZ is doable.

I think it would be great to have more people involved in shaping the portal.  Would you be interested in a couple of hours hacking php code with eZ while in Bolzano?  Shall we add a topic to the agenda and start finalising it?

I have been offline for the past days, after the crisis with the server that powers this site.  Basically, what happened is related to the Fellowship’s success: the traffic on the site grew faster than we planned, which makes everybody happy except our server that is under stress.

Working on eZ to repair and optimize the site made me think that it would be nice to have a eZ workshop at the coming Fellowship Meeting in Bolzano.   What do you think?  We can invite eZ publish experts to hack on fsfe.org site, if somebody is interested.
