Cioppino Sprint
###############

    I'm back home after the west coast sprint formerly known as the Tahoe sprint, plone.net is now on plone.org, and I can spell Cioppino without looking it up.

Last night I got home from the `Cioppino Sprint
<http://www.coactivate.org/projects/snow-sprint-west-2011/project-home>`_
in beautiful Bodega Bay, CA.  `Steve McMahon
<http://www.linkedin.com/in/smcmahon>`_ did an excellent putting
arranging the sprint and got us a vacation house with a stunning view
and a hot tub.  Combine all this with a few great cooks and California
fresh produce, we ate well, enjoyed the view and got a lot of coding
done.

The sprint was focused on "achievable tasks that provide immediate
wins for Plone-the-product or Plone-the-community", meaning
low-hanging fruit mostly on the plone.org site itself.  With Limi, I
took on merging the `plone.net <http://plone.net>`_ service providers
site into `plone.org <http://plone.org/support/providers>`_ itself.
For my part, this involved:

    * updating `Products.PloneServicesCenter
      <http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/Products.PloneServicesCenter>`_
      to Plone 4 along other fixes, cleanup and improvements
    * exporting the content from the plone.net then importing it on
      plone.org
    * doing a few selective catalog updates
    * re-creating some content
    * setting up some content rules

Pretty easy stuff and it was mostly done by Friday.  It was also the
first time I got my hands on plone.org itself.  Call me a fan-boy but I still get giddy when I get one step closer to the core
of Plone, a project I was once totally on the outside of.

I also spent some time walking through the creation of a new custom AT
content type with Bill and `Spanky
<https://www.facebook.com/tom.kapanka>`_ to see how hard it is to
approach this task as a newcomer to Plone.  I always enjoy helping get
started and happily, Bill even `posted his code
<https://github.com/bdbaddog/Plone-Book-Review-Product>`_ to github.

.. _manhattan:

Not to toot my own horn, but my mixology seems to have been a hit.  My
Manhattan was particularly popular and since `Bill Deegan
<http://www.linkedin.com/in/billdeegan>`_ asked, here's the recipe::

    Cioppino Manhattan

    1.5 oz      Buffalo Trace Bourbon (good bang for buck, not quite top-shelf)
    1.5 oz      Carpano Antica Formula (really good sweet vermouth)
    1-2 dashes  Blood Orange Bitters

    Stir with lots of ice for a good while to melt plenty and mellow
    out the cocktail.  Strain and serve.

In summary, the Cioppino Sprint was quite a success, I had a great
time, and I very much hope it becomes an annual tradition!
