The vegetable life metaphor

Let me testify to the strength of poetic metaphors in the next couple of lines ( so their credit rating is not downgraded any time soon ). I am picking the one of vegetable life today, to depict an approach I met a few times in the Community Management / Development world, and that I am putting into practice with the eZ Publish Community. I believe it greatly illustrates the biomorphic aspects of Communities.

In this blog post I will explain how to develop a simple scraper using eZ publish and a bit of Drupal code. To my knowledge its the first time eZ publish and Drupal meet in public, although I have used the same Drupal functions for the Mollom spam filter extension.

Here are the minutes of the 15th Community Project Board meeting. Our previous minutes can be found here.

The Community track agenda of the Lisbon Partner Conference was unveiled last week, sneak preview of yet another awesome meet-up ! There are still seats left, register before it is too late !

As promised more than a year ago, I'm about to publish my article on eZ Publish datatypes.

Implementation of the Job Board has started, cleanup of the download and develop page is almost done. Read our bi-weekly minutes below.

The eZ Partner Conference, taking place in Lisbon on February 8th and 9th, is approaching. Time to give you a sneak preview of the Community track schedule, read on !

Not a lot of changes, but at least one bugfix:

when using basic auth, part of the request http headers were being dropped

Also a small change: the error code returned by the client when receiving error http status codes in responses has changed (helps with REST services)

Version 1.0.0 of the PDF catalogue has just been released. This release comes with a structural change of the dedicated PDF catalogue download mechanism, an updated manual, an updated german translation and contains some bug fixes.

A demonstration of the PDF catalogue extension can be found here:  http://en.alexander-block.net/Business/eZ-Systems/Personal-PDF-Catalogue.
