This is the Blog of Four Digits. On this Blog we will share our experiences, ideas and code of our projects at work and at home.
Since our main development platforms are Python, Zope, Javascript and Plone, most of the posts featured here will be about these topics, but occasionally other topics will be posted as well.

Best of both worlds
Last Friday, the whole crew at Four Digits went to see an extraordinary show. Het Gelders Orkest, Gif.t and 8Bahn got together and created 'The Cloud', a show that combines a dance act with both classical music and dance beats. Since we enjoy the sound of 8Bahn and because we support Het Gelders Orkest all of us wanted to see the result of this joint operation. It was a great performance.
We get help from all directions

Phase one has commenced
We have the venue, the website and a dedicated team. The initial preparations are in progress and in the coming months we will keep working and keep you posted.
Arnhem, we have a lift off
The official website for the Ploneconf 2012, www.ploneconf.org has been launched and made public on plone.org and Twitter. Now we are definitely in business. Over the last few months, we have put a lot of effort in the design, logo and content. For your information, we hereby explain some of the choices we made during the proces.
Plone conference 2012 logo released
The logo for the Plone conference 2012 which will be held in Arnhem in The Netherlands, is released. Rebel X, one of the Dutch Plone companies volunteered to do the design and created a great logo. As of today, the organization in Arnhem will start working on t-shirts, beer glasses and other relevant items. The logo will (obviously) also appear on the new conference website that is almost ready for launch.

Ladies and gentleman, we 've got it
The Plone conference 2012 will take place in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The foundation members have had their advisory vote and the majority favored Arnhem. Last weekend, the Board made the final decision, so now we can start the preparations. Needless to say we are very happy to be elected.
Fingers crossed during vote
This week, the community decides wether the Plone Conf 2012 will be held in Arnhem or Paris. Two companies turned in a prososal, so we have a 50/50 chance of winning the vote. If all goes well, the decision will be made public on monday the 23th of january.

'I would organise it again if needed'
Next month, a Dutch magazine is goint to run a story on the Plone conference 2011 that was held in San Francisco last november. For that, the editor contacted one of the organisers: Elizabeth Leddy. Together with Tom Kapanka (AKA Spanky) and a team of bunnies, she made sure the conference was a succes. We asked all kind of questions regarding preparations and things to take into consideration. In all: what are the parameters for a succesful event? Since only Dutch Ploners will be able to read the story, we decided to copy the part with Leddy and turn it into a blog. For all you ' would be' organisers out there: Read and learn.
