This article aims to demystify some myths and questions that I am confronted with every time I talk about TYPO3 6.2 - like the T3CON in Stuttgart last week. TYPO3 CMS 6.2 is the upcoming TYPO3 LTS version to be released in December 2013.

We are happy to announce the release of TYPO3 Neos Alpha 7 at the T3CON13 which will be our last alpha release.

Tuesday was the first day of the 9th International TYPO3 conference. A conference that is very different from the previous ones, because of the themed nature of the days. The first day was dedicated to community. A topic that kept your own community manager busy the whole day and of course the days before preparing presentations for on the conference.

This Week in TYPO3 is written in a kind of silence before the storm with the storm being the upcoming conference in Stuttgart. The news is mainly that everyone is preparing their presentations. Here is a quick run-down of this week.

The release of TYPO3 CMS 6.2 LTS is around the corner (December 10). One kick-ass feature that will make it into the core is responsive rendering for images. Sven Wolfermann writes about how to use this feature in an article translated by Roland Schenke and proofread by Den Denyer.

The Documentation Team wishes to test a new, simpler way of contributing to the TYPO3 manuals. This article first provides some background information and then details on this proposed contribution process. For those who are in a hurry, let's start with a quick summary.

Your chance to claim a place in the TYPO3 history: we are looking for translators of the well-known "What's New" slides for the upcoming TYPO3 CMS 6.2 LTS.

This TYPO3 week ended in Pozna?, Poland from where this weekly summary comes to you. This week saw the release of the first beta of TYPO3 CMS 6.2 LTS, a final report on this year's Google Summer of Code, a marketing meeting and an interview with Tomasz Grzemski about TYPO3camp Poland.

The Google Summer of Code is over and it's time to recap. In the last 3 month Google gave 1,060 students in total the opportunity to work and code for an Open Source Project at one of 177 mentoring organizations. That's the annual Google Summer of Code. We, the TYPO3 Community, participated for the fourth time and mentored five students this year.
