The European Network and information Security Agency (Enisa) published its new website early last week. The site is built using the open source content management system Plone and the open source Python application server Zope.
The Enisa web site is intended to become a European exchange of information, best practices and knowledge in the field of Information Security.
The Enisa website developer, Georgios Gozadinos, has proposed that the organisation approves his publishing as open source the additions and fixes he made to the Plone system.
Gozadinos has been submitting code to the Plone system for years, when he worked as an independent developer. "I hope Enisa will sign an agreement to transfer the intellectual property rights to the Plone foundation."
Enisa, based in Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete, opted to move to the open source content management system following a discussion by the web task force of the agency "Apart from the accepted basic advantages of open source, Zope and Plone provide proven solutions, with strong security."
Several other EU organisation have turned to Plone and Zope. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) in Bilbao published the code for its Plone and Zope-based content management system in May. Another example is the European Environment Agency (EEA), based in Copenhagen. The EU's Open Source Observatory and Repository is also using the combination of Plone and Zope.
