History
PloneGov project was born in June
2007 by merging three Plone based
e-government initiatives focusing on
local and regional governments:
CommunesPlone.org (Belgium,
France), UdalPlone (Basque
country-Spain, France) and
PloneGov.ch (Switzerland).
• In 2007-2009 it won 4 European
prizes and for two times in a row
was a ﬁnalist in the European
eGovernment Awards
• Currently includes about 200
public bodies, in several
subcommunities on 4 continents

Gov Italia
✓ The Italian national chapter of PloneGov (PGI for short)

✓ About 50 members

✓ Different public bodies and solutions: Universities, Health
Agencies, Regions, Provinces, Cities, Chambers of Commerce, ...

✓ PGI is very diverse, something like a scaled-down version of the
worldwide project.

Research aka Plone4UR)
