The New plone.org Built on Plone 6
The speaker discusses plans to renew the Plone website plone.org using Plone 6. The current site was built on Plone 5 in 2016 and faces challenges. The new site would showcase Plone 6 features, use vanilla Plone 6 for easy updates, and migrate the site's content from 2002. Help is needed with design, testing, migration, content work and sprints. The goal is to launch the renewed plone.org in 2022.

- 2. Plone Foundation |@plone | https://plone.org Abstract I will discuss Plone Communications and Marketing Team’s plans to renew plone.org to Plone 6, the latest and greatest of all Plone-releases. This talk will contain a short history of plone.org, the rise and fall of plone.com, and will give a glimpse to a new future. I will tell about the challenges with the current site and the possibilities with the new Plone 6 one. This is also a call to action, since we will need people helping with migration, design, theming and content work. Practise what you preach and eat you own dogfood - plone.org should be the pinnacle of what you'll get with out-of-the-box Plone. https://2021.ploneconf.org/schedule/the-new-plone-org-built-on-plone-6 Rikupekka Oksanen [email protected]

- 22. Plone Foundation |@plone | https://plone.org 19 years! Now that’s content management for you!
- 23. Plone Foundation |@plone | https://plone.org Plone.org & Plone.com ● An idea to separate marketing and community sites ○ Like we did with plone.net ● Pros ○ Contains actual marketing material: case studies, features, nice visual presentation ○ In the beginning plone.com also had documentation, PLIPs etc. but since they were moved ● Cons ○ Its was hard to manage plone.com content, ironically ○ Updating two sites is two times the work ○ Creates confusion - should I use plone.com or plone.org? ● Situation now: plone.com was removed this September
- 24. Plone Foundation |@plone | https://plone.org Plone.org & Plone.com

- 26. Plone Foundation |@plone | https://plone.org Suggestion: renew plone.org 1. Showcase what Plone is today - Plone 6 2.

Visual overhaul - to this decade 6. Content management
