TYPO3 at OSCON

Categories: Community Created by Kian Gould
Last week the TYPO3 community of Portland and San Francisco organized to attend OSCON, the world's leading Open Source convention in Portland, Oregon with their own TYPO3 booth.
This has been the second year in a row, that TYPO3 was offered a free booth by the organizing Open Source supporters O'Reilly. Attendance at the booth was great and as always people left extremely impressed by the features and scalability of TYPO3 and very warm feedback on the new TYPO3 Introduction package, which paired with the new backend skin is really a major leap forward in usability. Thanks to the whole UX Week team for this. We also spoke with many many frustrated Drupal users, that were impressed by the Enterprise focus of TYPO3, the speed of content editing and the clear logic behind the system, which they missed dearly. We will definitely attend next year as well and this time we will also hand in several talks to the conference schedule to add to the mindshare of TYPO3 in the US. If more people knew about the power of TYPO3 the community there would be even bigger than the one in Europe because the guys there are frustrated with what the current OS solutions deliver in terms of scalability, enterprise approach and upgrade cycles.
