What are the Dialogue Days about?
As a Swiss association we have to hold a yearly <link http: association.typo3.org general-assembly ref assoc _blank informations about the general assembly of typo3>General Assembly (GA). The GA was never a very exciting event and because of its formal character was not an attractive event to go to. Few members take the opportunity to join the GA, use their right to vote and meet up with members of the board, the expert advisory board or the business control committee of the TYPO3 Association. One of our major goals as an Association is to improve the communication towards our community and members. It is our vision to act as bridge builders to support our products success, to uphold the spirit in the community, and to act as a professional organisation to the outside world.
Combining the General Assembly with the “TYPO3 Dialogue Days 2015: share, inspire, work” provides us, as an association, the possibility to share this vision with the community and to involve you. What we aim for at the event is to have the different teams meet at one location and have joint teams sprints. It provides the basis to build “cross team / mixed teams” and to work on interdisciplinary issues.
One major goal is to create an intense dialogue between the TYPO3 Association and all the TYPO3 teams.
Our goals in details are:
- visualise the work of the TYPO3 Association and provide transparency inspiring people to participate in the TYPO3 project,
- improve the interaction with our members,
- communicate with members about their expectations and problems,
- attract more members or potential contributors for teams, working groups, committees or official bodies (Board, EAB, BCC),
- involve active contributors and people of our community.
The Dialogue Days 2015 will take place on April 13 -15 in the <link http: www.unperfekthaus.de _blank in>Unperfekthaus in Essen.
The Unperfekthaus is a well-known location for TYPO3 sprints and for the TYPO3camp Rhein-Ruhr. The event is unfortunately limited to 50 attendees. The official bodies of the T3A (Board, EAB, BCC) will be there for the the GA, so that leaves 25 spots available.
Who should attend?
