TYPO3camp Venlo 2015

Friday April 17 and Saturday April 18 were the dates for the first TYPO3camp of the year. It is held at, Fontys International Campus, the excellent location of the European University of Applied Sciences in Venlo.
TYPO3camp Venlo is an international camp that is conveniently situated on the Dutch German border and thus brings together both nationalities plus a few more. The organisation initialised a shift to start on Friday instead of Saturday to attract more employees and students. Some participants remarked it was great to have the Sunday off. The pre-party on Thursday saw quite a number of participants already from both sides of the border enjoying the beer and great food at Café Centraal. Also new this year was the fact that the Friday was in conference format, meaning the schedule was settled in advance, instead of the barcamp style. T3CV saw two keynote speakers. Guido Stompff and Alain Veuve. Guido is Senior communication manager at Océ (A Canon Company) and took the audience on an interactive journey to explore how bridges can be built inside such teams and also between engineers and customers, in order to create truly innovative products. Guido is an expert on design thinking in product development teams. With examples like the invention of penicillin and its actual use later on, he showed how essential the diversity of a team is to achieve innovation. In a simply interactive play, the audience got 'framed' themselves. This showed the importance of thinking completely out of the box to get the best products out of teams. "Language is a terribly impoverished means for innovation". The triangle between designers - R&D - Marketing results in language conflicts like "What might be" -"What can be" - "What should be". Taking several steps of visualisation and prototyping in product development are the key factors to try to get maximum understanding between different types of team members.

Alain Veuve is a Swiss entrepreneur that started quite a few companies and currently works as managing director for <link http: aoe.com>AOE Switzerland. Besides that he is very active in the TYPO3 world leading the <link http: typo3.org teams marketing>marketing team and playing a substantial role in the <link http: association.typo3.org board ref assoc>board of the <link http: association.typo3.org>TYPO3 Association. Alain talked about the future of CMS. CMS needs to take a fundamental shift in the future away from its monolithic structure and redefine to redefine web platform software systems.
Mattes Mathias Schreiber did a presentation In the morning of the CMS team. The team uses an agile cycle that functions very well with the motto "Act, Release, Learn, Repeat". To get to the stage they are now it was very important to look at the past, to inspect what went wrong, to develop the current team and to look at outside stakeholders and have a close contact to the market. One of the most essential things is that the team works from the perspective of the editor. In the afternoon Mattes showed the huge progress TYPO3 CMS 7 made the last few months with a live demonstration of current state.
Members of the board: Alain and Ric Ric van Westhreenen showed comparison between several OS CMS systems. It showed that in general for larger projects TYPO3 products are very suitable, but marketing and exposure to decision makers and developers is not there currently communicate the enterprise benefits of TYPO3. Ruud Silvrants, an intern at Beech.it, showed the Fontys students how to build their first website into TYPO3. Bas van de Wiel showed the students a short presentation of available tooling for web development. The university seems very keen on having the students attend on a more mandatory basis for next year. The conference day further saw Michiel Roos lecturing on his <link http: www.michielroos.com articles the-one-stop-typo3-vagrant-development-box.html>Homestead Vagrant Box for TYPO3, that provides a 'worry less' development environment without messing up your operating system. Patrick Broens talked about replacing css styled content by fluid templating. Daniel Homorodean, we all know from organising <link http: www.t3ee.org>TYPO3 Eastern Europe says: Congratulations for the event, I really liked it. My presentation, with the final name "Developing a partnership culture in Communities - A business perspective" is not typical for what I've seen so far in open source communities and it includes some controversial aspects, on purpose, to foster constructive debates, but debates which do require direct moderation. I've tackled aspects like value chain development, partnerships with economical purpose and the migration from "volunteering" to "investment". Since my presentation was more a support for discussion, I have the reserve that just presenting the slides without the context of discussion would not give a clear impression for the ones who would read them and might confuse them, that is why I think that they should not be published as they are.

Saturday

Herr Professor Doctor Diplomat Ingenieur Mattes volunteered to do a full day Q&A for starters and slowly increasing the volume to discussions for advanced developers. From fluid templating, setup site using extension, caching, composer, deployment etc.
Der Mattes mit der Maus Further topics on Saturday: Sebastian Fischer - Domain Model Extender: Extbase domain models on steroids,  Gernot Schulmeister - CMS comparison for developers, Norbert Sendetzky - integrated shop system based on a flow package for CMS. <link https: twitter.com david_resch>David_Resch - working with svg info graphics, Angelika Krage - strategie phases in developing website - design process

"This gave us a lot of energy to work on a similar event next year." A TYPO3camp like T3CV is only possible with support of the sponsors. For T3CV these were <link http: www.wfp2.com>WFP:2, <link https: www.maxserv.com>MaxServ, <link http: www.beech.it>Beech.it, <link http: windinternet.nl>Wind Internet, Patrick Broens, <link http: emaux.nl>Emaux and <link http: www.roquin.nl>Roquin. We were fortunate and happy to have the Fontys location for the third time. The interaction with students of Fontys and the lectures aimed at them were very successful. The T3CV organisation is thinking 'international TYPO3 Training Days'! Of course a TYPO3camp would also not be possible without an organisation, this year consisting of Jacco van de Post, Patrick Broens, Maarten Mandemakers, Edward Lenssen and Ben van ‘t Ende.
