Last year in October I gave a presentation at Birmingham Unitarian Church on technology and personal empowerment. A central part of the presentation is the Open Source movement, including open source software and Creative Commons works.
Here is the presentation in Open Office format (ODP) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format:
CREM will be a TurboGears 2.0 application for scheduling events, people and rooms at a convention. A small group of us is developing this open source application so that it can be used by Penguicon and other conventions.
If you'd like to contribute, please dig into the documentation on the CREM wiki and join in the discussion on the CREM Development group.
Goldblog is inspired by Quoins. Like Quoins, Goldblog is a blogging system that can be incorporated into a TurboGears project. I chose to develop my own system as an exercise to develop my Python and TurboGears skills. It was also a good opportunity to work with Sphinx (an excellent documentation generator) and Paver (a build/distribution/deployment scripting tool for Python projects).
I'm making the code available under a BSD license in case someone finds it useful. Unlike Quoins, Goldblog is not an active project, so I may not update it very often.
