The first TYPO3camp Berlin was a great success. 160 participants, 39 sessions and a fantastic table football tournament (T3Kicker) were the highlights on the weekend from the 24th to 26nd of June in Berlin. The weekend started with the warm-up meeting on friday evening with lots the participants, nice small talks and beer at the Salz Club.
Saturday morning began with the usual startup meeting and session planing in the camp location the SAE Institute. There were diferrent sessions like HTML5/CSS3, Kanban project management, SEO, t3mobile ext, secure hosting, RealURL config, etc...
After the first day the whole camp crowd drove through Berlin with a chartered bus accompanied by some entertainment from Ralf Merz (known as @merzilla in the TYPO3 community). As community event we had a professional table football tournament at the Longshot bar. First there was a qualification round with changing team player and a final round with the best teams. Between these rounds the bar owners Hannes (german table football champion) and his girlfriend Lilly (woman world table football champion!) held a show match - that was amazing! A long night but a great event.
On sunday the day started lazy, but with good sessions too. That all was possible through the help of our sponsors. The predominantly positive opinion from the participants motivates us to do it again next year.
Next T3CAMP's:
TYPO3camp in Hamburg will be from From August 5th to August 7th (<link http: typo3camp.mixxt.de _blank>typo3camp.mixxt.de). TYPO3camp Hamburg expects about 160 people this year. The camp in Hamburg was the first TYPO3camp ever in 2008. The Event is mainly (like all camps) regional (northern germany) with about 25-35% people from other cities (and countries, we had already people from Switzerland and Austria). This year we are offering a sightseeing tour on Friday to make the event even more attrictive to people coming form further away. I'm sure you know what barcamps are, otherwise you can find here the best explanation I found so far (unfortunally in german).<link http: www.franztoo.de _blank>www.franztoo.de
