In week 43 we talked about the silence before the storm. After the TYPO3 conference there is a silence after the storm with everyone concentrating on their work again. The conference was very successful with all enthusiasm about the latest developments in the TYPO3 project. 'This Week in TYPO3' comes to you from the TYPO3camp Rhein Ruhr in Essen, the last TYPO3camp this year. We have a new platinum member of the TYPO3 Association, some team news and the TYPO3 Association is looking for an executive secretary.

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.
