What is PLOG?

The Plone Open Garden is the perfect event to understand the future of Plone: share your ideas and show your new developments in the speaker’s corner, dive into your favourite topics discussing them in the garden, and sprint around-the-clock to bring them to reality.

Speaker's Corner

Every morning will kick off with talks about Plone and allow you to meet with the members of its community. The talk agenda will be built together with all attendees, therefore don’t hesitate in sending us your proposals at plog@plone.org

Open Garden

Since 2007, Hotel Mediterraneo’s garden offers the right environment to work with focus and energy, without forsaking a good deal of amusement! The entire venue hosts compelling activities and discussions, plus a bar and a swimming pool!

Plog is a chance to continue some of the work to improve Plone I started years ago. To do so, I need the help of the community. starzel.de

Plog is a great event to talk about the wider community of Plone. And, you know, the pool, the weather and the lovely wine ... all part of it netsight.co.uk

Do-ocracy is our community's really cool concept. People at Plog actually do stuff, go forward and try to make the difference. So, Plog .. it's a kind of ... impossible not to come simpleconsultoria.com.br

Here's why PLOG is free.

Love has no price. That's why admission to the PLOG is free and open. People working at Abstract believe in these kind of events, which were born to keep up the interest in the community and allow people to meet face-to-face and share ideas.

Being guests at Hotel Mediterraneo.

Being guests at Hotel Mediterraneo is the best way to experience PLOG because it allows you to stay together with the other participants and spares you from having to commute to and from the venue.

The Hotel Mediterraneo sits atop a cliff straight over the sea, in one of the most beautiful spots of the Sorrento Peninsula, a few minutes’ walk from the city center and a few kilometers away from the archeological sites of Ercolano and Pompei; and from there you can reach the island of Capri in just 15 minutes by boat.

Room prices.

Abstract can obtain discounted prices for the PLOG. There is a different range of accomodation options available, depending on the type of room you choose:

four-bedroom rooms - 180€ for the whole room, including breakfast and dinner

This offer is valid on a limited number of allocated rooms, if reserved before February 28 2017.

Pay less and share the PLOG experience.

One of the best parts of PLOG is sharing, even of the same room, because passion knows no schedules. Invite your friends and your colleagues at PLOG and book a room for the whole of you, or visit the IRC channel and find other people within the Plone community who are willing to pay less by sharing the same room

How do I get there?

The nearest airport is Naples' international "Capodichino" airport, which is 50 km away from Sorrento. After landing we advise guests to take the Curreri bus to Sorrento which departs from the square in front of the airport station. Ask the driver to let you off in the main square in Sant’Agnello di Sorrento, near the town hall. The hotel is 15 minutes away by foot.

If you are coming from the north or south, you can take the A3 Napoli – Salerno highway. Follow the signs for Penisola Sorrentina and exit at Castellammare di Stabia. Then take the SS 145 state road. Pass Vico Equense, Meta and Piano di Sorrento until you arrive to Sant Agnello. Turn right just before the main square and drive down Via dei Pini (to the side of the Esso gas station). There is a small church at the end of this road on the right. Drive past it and after less than 100 meters you will see the hotel on your left.

From Naples Central Station take the local “Circumvesuviana” train for Sorrento and get off at the Sant Agnello stop. From Sant Agnello station we advise you to take a taxi or a walk (of about 10 minutes), first going left along Viale dei Pini, the road that begins to the side of the Esso gas station and then walk right to the end of it. Hotel Mediterraneo is located on the left after the small Church of Frati Cappuccini.
