Laying Pipe with Transmogrifier

What

 is a tool that gives you the ability to create a configurable pipeline to import and export from various systems. Each section of the pipe can be turned into a re-usable blueprint that can be given back to the community. This gives us the ability to quickly create migration paths for existing systems and maintain them as Python packages.

 isn't just for Plone, it can be used to import and export from any system. We will cover how to set up in your Plone site or in a standalone environment. Then we will learn how to create a pipeline to perform a migration. Then we will discuss how to create your own blueprints, package them up and release to the community.

Clayton Parker

Six Feet Up, Inc.

As the senior developer at Six Feet Up, I work closely with Plone. Our projects typically demand that we stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. Because of this, I have an intimate knowledge of many parts of Plone and its surrounding ecosystem. I have been presenting at Plone events since 2006, where I gave a talk at the North American Plone Symposium. I have since given talks and tutorials on a variety of topics ranging from buildout to PEP8.
