TYPO3 Convention 2008 is over

The TYPO3 Convention 2008 is history. In Berlin various topics were presented and discussed by TYPO3 enthusiasts and professionals. The main topics surely were TYPO3 5.0 and the application framework FLOW3. But besides the interesting information about the future of TYPO3 the further development and the roadmap of TYPO3 were also critisized since agencies don’t want to loose their experiences and expenses on several extensions.

Although our talk concerning the presentation of Magento and it’s integration with TYPO3 was held in the rather smaller consultancy track the talk was very well visited. Despite the quite weak internet access the presentation was a great success which led to a lot of questions and discussions after the talk and in the conference dinner. The results will be published in the web and in the magazine T3N in near future.

The best paper awards were given to the following collegues:
1.    Hoffmann: „Usability concepts for (Backend)-Interfaces“
2.    Michael Otto: „Going global with TYPO3“
3.    Karsten Dambelkans: „Transparent Object Persistence with FLOW3“

Additionally the TYPO3 Association announced that the next TYPO3 convention will not take place in Europe but in Dallas, USA, although it is understood as an additional conference which does not replace the yearly conference. The next European conference might be hosted in Berlin again in the coming year – Flagbit will of course take place again.
