I am very happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.0.
Over seven years in development, Mailman 3 represents a major new version,
redesigned as a suite of cooperating components which can be used to mix and
match however you want. The core engine is now backed by a relational
database and exposes its functionality to other components via an
administrative REST+JSON API.
Our new web user interface, Postorius is Django-based, as is our new archiver
HyperKitty. The core requires Python 3.4 while Postorius and HyperKitty
require Python 2.7.
We also have a library called mailman.client, which works in both Python 2 and
3 and is the official Python bindings to the core's REST API. The mailman-
bundler is a set of scripts that help building out a complete Mailman 3 system
in Python virtual environments.
There are tons of new features. See the detailed official announcement at
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-announce/2015-April/000210.html
What is GNU Mailman?
GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and
e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for
users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists.
Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content
filtering, digest delivery, and more. Mailman 3 is released under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, version 3.
See the release notes, as well as links to download each component:
http://wiki.list.org/Mailman3
You probably want to start with the bundler and let it grab and install all
the other parts.

Imagine you have a client that sends a request to a server and gets back a
500 error. What caused it? If you're using Eliot you can trace the logs
across processes:

We are pleased to announce our next keynote speakers: Ola Sitarska and
Ola Sendecka, who kicked off Django Girls with a workshop at
EuroPython 2014 last year. Since then the idea has spread around the
globe to over 20 countries.

Django Girls
------------
Django Girls is an non-profit oriented organization that empowers and
helps women to organize free, one-day programming workshops by
providing tools, resources and support.
http://djangogirls.org/
The Keynote
-----------
It’s Dangerous To Go Alone, Take This: The Power of a Community
Ola and Ola will take you on a fantastic journey to the magical world
of little Liz, who is totally enchanted by technology. The story of
Liz will show that with a little bit of magic, curiosity, courage and
hard work, you can defeat all the obstacles standing in your
way. You’ll discover with her that making big and scary things is
easier when you’re not doing them alone. Because sometimes, one
magical spell, the helpful hand of a friend or this shiny sparkle is
all it takes to make a dent in one’s universe.
The Workshop
------------
At this year’s conference, we will again be hosting a Django Girls
workshop. Please see the workshop website for details on how to sign
up as an attendee, coach, or support the workshop as sponsor.

INTRODUCTION
The eGenix mxODBC Zope DA allows you to easily connect your Zope or
Plone CMS installation to just about any database backend on the
market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially supported
eGenix product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC standard as
middle-tier architecture.
The mxODBC Zope Database Adapter is highly portable, just like Zope
itself and provides a high performance interface to all your ODBC data
sources, using a single well-supported interface on Windows, Linux,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD and other platforms.
This makes it ideal for deployment in ZEO Clusters and Zope hosting
environments where stability and high performance are a top priority,
establishing an excellent basis and scalable solution for your Plone
CMS.

NEWS
The 2.2.1 release of our mxODBC Zope/Plone Database Adapter product is
a patch level release of the popular ODBC database interface for Plone

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release
team, I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0a4.
Python 3.5.0a4 is the fourth and alpha release of Python 3.5, which will
be the next major release of Python. Python 3.5 is still under
development, and is not yet complete.
This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production
settings.
The next release of Python 3.5 will be 3.5.0b1, the first beta release.
Python 3.5 will enter "feature freeze" at this time; no new features
will be added to 3.5 after this point. Python 3.5.0b1 is scheduled to
be released May 22, 2015.
Three important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0a4:
* If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to
manually uninstall it before installing Python 3.5.0a4 (issue23612).
* If installing Python 3.5.0a4 as a non-privileged user, you may need
to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your
C runtime libraries.
* There is now a third type of Windows installer for Python 3.5. In
addition to the conventional installer and the web-based installer,
Python 3.5 now has an embeddable installer designed to be run as
part of a larger application's installer for apps using or extending
Python.
You can find Python 3.5.0a4 here:

Happy hacking,
