On 20 and 21 April 2023, members of at least four open-source projects will meet at the TYPO3 office in Düsseldorf, Germany, to bring PHP-based reStructuredText parsing forward.

The TYPO3 Core Documentation (References, Changelog, Guides, etc.), as well as the Documentation of many TYPO3 Extensions, is based on reStructuredText (reST) for more than ten years. 

Moving from Python to PHP and Joining Forces

However the parsing and rendering of reST is still done in the Python-based tool Sphinx in the world of TYPO3 Documentation. This has several shortcomings: We are notoriously short on Python developers while we do have an abundance of PHP developers, being PHP based ourselves. The rendering has become slower and slower with the years, as our rendering pipeline has historically grown. It needs a makeover.

Both Symfony and Doctrine also base their documentation on reST. They face similar challenges, like management of changes across versions, documentation for third-party packages, etc. 

At the Symfony conference in Paris in October 2022, Ryan Weaver and Lina Wolf got the idea to kickstart a closer cooperation on documentation infrastructure topics. Their documentation is currently based on the doctrine/rst-parser package. Unfortunately there has not been much contribution to their reST parser in the past years.

“The world of documentors can be a lonely one! Being able to meet another team from a similar technology and compare strategies for code blocks, examples and maintenance is priceless.”
—Ryan Weaver, Symfony

Merging the Fork

The phpDocumentor project are the ones who set the standard for PHPDoc documentation (starting with /**) that we are using in TYPO3. In 2020, they started working on a fork of the doctrine/rst-parser, and the two projects diverged. 

The phpDocumentor reST-parser is integrated into the complete phpDocumentor project that also renders API information for PHP. It can also be run standalone, but it is still in the experimental stage. 

Now we want to bring everyone back together and work on a new and better version together.

“Documentation is crucial for building maintainable code, and we're trying to set a new standard with phpDocumentor's reST parser. Collaborating with other maintainers to learn about tooling requirements is an invaluable opportunity that I couldn't have imagined. I am excited to see how this open-source collaboration will shape the future of PHP documentation.”
—Jaap van Otterdijk, phpDocumentor

Join a Sprint With phpDocumentor, Doctrine, Symfony, and TYPO3

On 20 and 21 April 2023, members of the TYPO3, phpDocumentor, Doctrine and Symfony documentation teams will meet in Düsseldorf. They will work on a new, stable version of the reST parser and renderer that integrates both forks.

“One of the major benefits of true Open Source projects is the collaboration between projects, making better software and tools while getting to know new like-minded people. It's truly a special experience I can highly recommend.” 
—Benni Mack, TYPO3 Core Team Lead

If you are interested in joining the code sprint or the development in general, talk to Lina Wolf @linawolf or the #typo3-documentation channel in the TYPO3 Slack. You can also find Lina in the Doctrine, Symfony and phpDocumentor Slack. You can also write an email to lina.wolf(at)typo3.org

Sprint participants must register with Lina Wolf no later than Wednesday 12 April 2023. The TYPO3 Documentation Team books hotel and covers travel costs, lodging, and food for registered participants during the sprint according to the TYPO3 travel reimbursement regulations.

The Transform Africa Summit describes itself as Africa’s leading annual forum for collaboration on new ways of shaping, accelerating and sustaining Africa’s ongoing digital revolution. The event caters to global and regional leaders from government, business and international organizations.

The summit is organized by Smart Africa, an alliance formed around the Smart Africa Manifesto, a commitment to provide leadership in accelerating socio-economic development through ICT. The manifesto has been endorsed by all heads of state and governments in the African Union.

For TYPO3, this event is a great opportunity to promote our CMS and create interest and engagement around our four-pillar model for using a democratic and not-for-profit open-source project to foster sustainable and independent business as outlined in the TYPO3 Association’s report on Open Source Standardization of Government Websites in Rwanda.

The results of the project in Rwanda, as a locally-led digital infrastructure development collaboration project, will be presented on-stage during the event and in further detail during a session at the booth of project partner GIZ.

TYPO3 will be present with our own booth. Daniel Homorodean from the TYPO3 Community Expansion Committee and Mathias Bolt Lesniak from the TYPO3 Association Board will participate in the event.

TYPO3 is a PHP-based open-source CMS, just like Drupal. The structure and backend experience differs, but, under the hood, our two communities solve web publishing and content management with similar tools and third-party dependencies. DrupalSouth is a place to meet, exchange ideas, and discuss solutions to the challenges faced by open source software today.

DrupalSouth is the annual open-source conference for the Drupal community in the Southern Hemisphere. The conference goes over three days. The first two days feature numerous sessions and the last day is a code sprint.

Mathias Bolt Lesniak from the TYPO3 Association Board will participate in the event.

TYPO3 is a PHP-based open-source CMS, so a Conference about PHP and web development is definitely something for us! The IPC conference offers six tracks:

  • PHP Core
  • General Web Development
  • Test & Performance
  • Agile & People
  • Software Architecture
  • DevOps & Deployment

IPC is organized by the international publishing house Software & Support Media Group, who organize a number of tech-oriented conferences. They describe the conference as “a distinctive opportunity to gain knowledge from the world’s leading experts on a diverse range of topics. They meet high standards of organization, offering sponsors and partners outstanding chances to generate leads and network.”

Frank Nägler, CTO at the TYPO3 Company, will participate in the event the three middle days of the event, 23–25 May 2023.

TYPO3camp means taking part!

In the spirit of the idea "Inspiring people to share", the camp offers space to get to know each other, make contacts and exchange knowledge.
The exchange of experiences and knowledge about TYPO3 is organised in sessions of 45 minutes each. The topics of the sessions will be suggested by the participants and brought along. The session planning for the whole camp weekend will take place on Saturday morning.

Everyone is invited to share their experiences on one or more TYPO3 topics. This will also be rewarded - with book prizes from the media sponsors. So get involved and hold a session!

We are so excited to meet everyone again in Karlsruhe this year!

We hope you're as excited as we are and that you'll be able to join us for a few days of great networking, learning, and sharing.

Share the knowledge!

The best way to learn is by doing, and there is no better place to do it than on Developer Days. So when you arrive, make sure you are ready to learn or teach. If you are interested in sharing what you’ve got, the best way would be by organizing a talk, discussion, or even a workshop.

Tickets

Don’t forget to get your ticket in time, and maybe even catch an Early Bird! 

We are available to answer any additional questions you have, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Are you getting excited yet? We are!!!

Accommodation

We understand that sometimes you just want to stay on-site, so we are happy to offer a limited contingent of overnight stays at the location. 

If you'd need one, book early—we have less then 100 rooms available, meaning our contingents are limited. We will inform you about further hotel accommodations when our contingents are exhausted.

Let's make these DevDays even better than the last ones.
