Plone Podcast: Season 2, Ep. 4 — Steve McMahon

Season 2 of The Plone Podcast, conversations about Plonistas for Plonistas, features guest Steve McMahon. A former Plone Foundation board member, Steve is a web developer who specializes in open-source Content Management Systems (CMSs) for non-profits. He is deeply invested in the open source community.

Steve started using Zope after learning about it at a Python meetup nearly 20 years ago. His work quickly shifted to Plone where he helped community organizations, such as the Davis Community Network and the Yolo Elections Office, create Plone sites.
