I think it would be worthwhile to meet up and put our heads together, and see if we can learn from each unique way of deploying to come up with a sort of "uber-deployment" tool/process.

Some goals for the sprint and after the sprint are:

• identify steps towards making a single deployment solution that we can all put our efforts behind rather than each "rolling our own"
• make Plone hosting more accessible through sensible defaults but with advanced "expert mode" to tweak settings specific to your hosting situation
• provide a demo.plone.org service that lets people quickly evaluate Plone 4 with one-click.
• extend the demo.plone.org service to let people evaluate various bundles of Plone products (PloneEdu, Plone video suite, Plomino, etc.)
• come up with a workflow that easily allows to update development buildouts with production data

if you can't be here for the sprint, we still welcome your input and feedback on the direction we should take. feel free to join and email the plone-hosting discussion list.

On saturday, I plan to work on getting Plone 4 working on Zope 2.13 and deployed using Silverlining, if anyone wants to work with me on that. And on sunday we'll work on making some ZopeSkel hosting templates that people can use to easily get a production Plone deployment running up on a server, and keep it maintained with Fabric.
