Did you ever ask yourself what the TYPO3 Association is good for ;-) Now the actual Quarterly Report of the TYPO3 Association is ready. Here a short summary and also a download link to the entire report.
Arriving the half time of 2008 we have reached a lot of milestones and made big progress in organizational issues. TYPO3 4.2 has been released, and the Core Team steps towards the next version 4.3. The new concept of sponsoring v4 projects allows more involvement of agencies, first sponsored projects for TYPO3 v4 have been announced so the development of TYPO3 is speeded up.
The development of FLOW3 proceeded fast and the 5.0 project management takes now advantage of more elements from the eXtreme Programming toolkit. A Contributor License Agreement for TYPO3 v5 / FLOW3 and T3CAST, a new podcast series about TYPO3 v5, started successfully.
Since the security awareness within the TYPO3 community seems to grow, the Security Team optimized their internal workflows e.g. by a ticket system. As a result of the Security Team discussions on the T3DD08, the Collective Security Bulletins were build up.
Thanks to all the people who joined the T3DD08! This year the T3DD08 as well as the T3CON08 moved to another location and we're looking forward to meet you all at the T3CON08 in Berlin. Not only the upper mentioned Collective Security Bulletins had its source in a TYPO3 event, the events enable teamwork in all areas. As a result of the presentation of the Certification Team at the T3DD08, already 15 persons registered for the first exams. The planning of the first certification exams is going on in big steps.
Also a new event, the first Bug Day took place on June 27th and is planned to be repeated once every month.
Stay tuned on TYPO3 events and don't forget to register for the T3CON08 in October 9th-11th 2008 in Berlin, Germany.
