Events

The cold season is probably the hottest for the community, with the now classic snowboard tour as its trade mark event. Still each snowboard tour has been special through differing locations, accommodation and snow conditions, but of course also its growing attendance and the shift from a fun event to almost a conference in its own right and back to the fun and sports event it has become, since T3CON and T3DD provide the more work-related forums. That being said, the snowboard tour hosted a bug auction and a release party of 4.2 pre-final. Also the annual football tournament came back, but our swiss hosts could not defend their champion's position and had to hand over the crown to the team of Northern Germany. Our friends at punkt.de generously sponsored a full-featured exclusive TYPO3-backpack for the attendants. Since the location on the mountain top offered a singular situation of both cosiness, easy access to the slopes and enjoyable food, many participants asked for the snowboard tour to break with its tradition and to return to Crap son Gion in 2009. T3BOARD09 will take place from the 22nd to the 29th of March 2009, registration will open on the Associaton's website on October 6th 2008.

Next up are the TYPO3 Developer Days (T3DD), which will already have taken place at the time of printing. Details can be found on the website [2]. Meanwhile the preparations for this year's edition of the TYPO3 Conference (T3CON) in Berlin are well underway, the events own website will be launched in time and will be announced on typo3.org.
