This document discusses invasive plant species and their impact. It defines invasive plants as exotic species that spread aggressively and displace native plants. Many invasives reproduce and disperse seeds rapidly. Some common invasive garden plants discussed are English ivy, Norway maple, burning bush, Japanese barberry, butterfly bush, purple loosestrife, multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet, and periwinkle. The document urges readers to remove invasives from their gardens and neighborhoods to protect local biodiversity and ecosystems.
The document provides examples of grammar, vocabulary, and writing concepts that may be assessed on the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) exam. It includes multiple choice questions testing alliteration, onomatopoeia, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. The final question asks which step should come first when taking the PSSA: turning in the test or talking to a friend.
This document summarizes key people and events in the history of capitalism. It discusses how capitalism has created great wealth but also financial crises. While capitalism may be imperfect, it is the best existing economic system. The document outlines influential early economic thinkers like Adam Smith and events like the South Sea Bubble and Mississippi Bubble. It then discusses major world events and leaders that shaped capitalism over the 19th and 20th centuries, including the World Wars, Churchill, Keynes, and decisions by the US Federal Reserve. It concludes by suggesting rules-based economic policies could provide more stability than discretionary actions.
1. This document discusses the basic economic problems faced by any society or economy. It introduces the concept of scarcity, where individuals and societies have limited resources compared to their unlimited wants.
2. It explains that in any economy, scarce resources must be allocated between potential goods and services and these produced goods and services must be distributed among individuals. This gives rise to the central economic problems of what, how, and for whom to produce.
3. It provides an example of a production possibility frontier to illustrate the production tradeoffs faced by an economy with limited resources. The frontier shows the different combinations of goods an economy can produce given its resource constraints.
This document summarizes TsungWei Hu's involvement in the Plone and Python community over the past 10 years. It highlights his contributions to Plone translation, organizing events like World Plone Day and PyCon Taiwan, and sharing experiences and advice for getting involved in open source communities. The document encourages attendees to get involved in the Plone community by logging issues, contributing translations or code, attending events, and utilizing available resources.
Open Source Technologies for Contents and MapsTsungWei Hu

The document discusses the use of open source technologies by the European Environment Agency (EEA) to organize and display a wide range of environmental data and information on its website. Key challenges included supporting multiple languages and facilitating search across diverse content. The EEA addressed these by implementing open source solutions like ElasticSearch for search and faceted browsing. It also links datasets as linked open data and manages projects using tools like GitHub. The EEA works with the open source community to improve and customize solutions while sharing lessons learned.
This document discusses language choice and contains materials that may be unsuitable for younger children. It explores how the language you choose defines how you program and can teach you to think differently. Several languages such as Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP are mentioned.
Diazo: Bridging Designers and ProgrammersTsungWei Hu
?
This document introduces Diazo, an open source theme engine for bridging web designers and developers. It discusses how Diazo works by using XML rules and XSLT to transform unthemed HTML content into themed content. It provides examples of common rules for replacing elements, including and dropping content, and merging navigation. Diazo allows maintaining design templates separately from dynamic content and deploying transformed content through an XSLT processor. The conclusion recommends starting with example codes, using the editor for common tasks, and keeping organizational themes consistent.
This document provides an overview of building a Python content management system (CMS) using Plone. It discusses Plone's content types, installation options, quality assurance, content editing and sharing features, customization options using Python packages and add-ons, integration with databases using different adapters, and considerations for choosing Plone as a CMS platform. The document encourages trying Plone by creating a free website on Ploud.com to experience the Plone CMS capabilities.
Python for Application Integration and DevelopmentTsungWei Hu
?
This document provides an overview of Python for application integration and development. It discusses the history and features of Python, how Python can be used as a research workbench with various scientific libraries, for web development with frameworks and content management systems, and the large Python community. The document concludes that Python serves as a good first language to learn and for gluing together other languages and tools to improve team productivity.
A short talk at Python Hsinchu User Group gathering on 2012/09/17. Plone is a long existing CMS (Content Management System) software in the Python world, and one of the most powerful. In short, a CMS runs a database storing contents that are added/edited by User/Group, managed via Workflow, and searchable with Index/Catalog. We will showcase Plone's existing features, demonstrating how it performs as a CMS product, also preview the coming technologies Plone will embrace.
This presentation in World Plone Day 2012 Taipei, held at RCHSS Academia Sinica, demos how to add collective.geo to a vanilla Plone, and overview to Plone customization. See photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/marr/sets/72157629895465211/
Plone is a powerful CMS based on Python/Zope, running on Linux, Windows, or cloud service. Ploud.net, provided by Enfold Systems, is free, easy-to-use service for creating and hosting Plone sites. This presentation, in ICOS, showcases the updated technology used by Plone.
This document summarizes the Sahana Taiwan organization and its work developing open source disaster management software. It discusses the Python rewrite of the original PHP-based software using the Web2Py framework. The rewrite aims to improve maintainability, integration of mapping and messaging features, and a more interactive web interface. The document also describes Sahana's use in response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake and how the software and community have continued to evolve and engage volunteers.

Plone - A Comprehensive Content Management SolutionTsungWei Hu
?
Plone is an open source content management system (CMS) built on Zope using Python. It provides a comprehensive set of features for managing and organizing content on a website, including search, workflow, user management, and more. Plone can be quickly installed and used to build blogs, portals, or other types of websites and applications. It includes various default content types and a customizable interface that allows non-technical users to easily add and manage content.
The document discusses using Python for application development on Linux systems like the EeePC. It provides an overview of Python programming basics like data types, functions, modules and libraries. It also introduces the Gtkmozembed library for embedding Mozilla-based content like Firefox in PyGTK applications and using Flash with Gtkmozembed. Examples are given for common tasks like file handling, networking and using various Python libraries and modules.
