The FLUIDTEMPLATE object was introduced in TYPO3 4.5. This new cObject offers Fluid flexibility in your frontend templates. This article is meant as a hands-on introduction. Besides the basic usage it also reveals some new stuff which will be available in the next Fluid release. Use this article at will, and see how Fluid will fit you. I'm sure you will love this new feature!

Now we have the TYPO3 look in the wiki, with a big navigation optimization. The automatic language switch helps translators. For contributors the barrier is now very low.

From 16th until 23rd of April 2011 the relaunch week for typo3.org will be held in the Linux Hotel in Essen, Germany. We can announce the final list of participants.

It has past now 1 week since a massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit Northern Japan. Nature shocked us all not only by shaking the earth we built our houses onto and walk with our feet, it sent also a disruptive 10 meter high tsunami wave traveling up to 10 km inland along the east coast. Fire was spread and - as it would not be already enough - then also invisible radiation was detected in the air coming from a nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture. Earth, water, fire and air! The 2011 T?hoku Chih? Taiheiy?-oki Jishin was the most powerful earthquake ever hit Japan, and one of the four most powerful earthquakes ever in the world since modern recording began.

For the third time TYPO3 has been accepted as mentoring organisation for Google's Summer of Code program. Get ready to submit your project proposals!

The next Bug Day will take place on March 25, 2011. It will be dedicated to helping as many contributors as possible get started with Git and Gerrit.

Today we submitted the application of TYPO3 as a mentoring organisation for this year's GSoC program. We are rather positive about being accepted again, and thus ask you to be active already!

The TYPO3 Core repository has been migrated to the Version Control System "Git" during last week's Code Sprint in Berlin.

TYPO3 was awarded a spot at the CeBIT Open Source Lounge for this year and occupied a small booth from the 1st until the 5th of March. The Open Source Lounge is sponsored by CeBIT. We shared a larger area with other Open Source projects like Enlightenment, VLC, XAMPP and Plone.
