Throughout the year the TYPO3 project has many code sprints, where travel and lodging is usually covered under a budget provided by the TYPO3 Association. The teams ask you to contribute by sponsoring some drinks and food. Read what a code sprint is all about and how you sponsor a code sprint

Week 27 holds some info on the preceding week as well and there is loads of actvity going on in the TYPO3 world. Ernesto Baschny talks about the release plans in a post 6.2 era and is looking for your feedback, as usual and especially in this season there are lots of events and TYPO3camps. The organisation for the coming TYPO3 conference is in full gear, the TYPO3 Association is pushing out a lot of activity and we have some event news.

With the first half of 2014 coming to an end, I looked back to the progress of the marketing team during the past six months. What I saw was not promising: There have been meetings, discussions, plans and work, but almost no results. Results in the sense of achievements in the market. While every member of the marketing team did what they could, I felt there was far too little output compared to the amount of hours invested. I decided for myself that continuing like this is not an option, neither is stepping down.

The TYPO3 Education Committee will have its first meetup on July 10th - 12th in Gemünd/Eifel near Cologne. The main topic is to come up with a long term strategy and work on detailed plans for 2014 and 2015.

For week 24 we have two events to highlight. One event was CMS Day organised by the French open source company SMILE and of course our main community event the TYPO3 Developer Days. This week also saw the release of TYPO3 Neos 1.1 and TYPO3 Flow 2.2. We have two code sprints weekend and a TYPO3camp in Berlin.

The Server Admin Team is sprinting in Lucerne and a PHP Unit sprint is going on in Hamburg.

Along with the release of Neos 1.1 on June 19th the team also released version 2.2.0 of the TYPO3 Flow framework - a natural consequence of Flow being the base for Neos. The new release comes with a number of bugfixes, numerous new features and noticeable speed improvements.

We, the Neos Team, are pleased to release TYPO3 Neos 1.1. For this release, we wanted to build a strong foundation for the major features that we are preparing for future releases. As such, we focused on stability and performance improvements.

On July 2nd 2014, the TYPO3 Marketing Team will meet the TYPO3 Agencies of the Frankfurt area for an interesting day together.
