The road to TYPO3 4.0 final
The final version of TYPO3 4.0 depends on the new functions provided by the TER2. Before we can launch the new repository, the security team has to review at least 1/4 of the most popular stable and beta extensions. Therefore, the release date of 4.0 final mainly depends on these reviews. Honest help, be it financial, work or organisation, is highly appreciated. Please address your offers and questions directly to the security team (http://typo3.org/teams/security) or to Michael Hirdes (dodger@typo3.org).
Questions regarding the R&D committee should be directed to Robert Lemke (robert@typo3.org).
Communication Committee
Aside from the technical development, TYPO3 is also evolving in terms of corporate identity and brand communication. The new CI consists of a redesigned logo, a TYPO3-own font to match and various applications, including all official websites. On behalf of the TYPO3 Community, we wish to thank the design team. Especially Ralph Du Carrois (www.seite4.com) for designing the logo and our own typeface, Steffi Kieffer and Ben O'Hear (www. revelate.com) for the web designs and Rasmus Skjoldan (www. bee3.com) for managing and communicating the process. Credits for template and CSS programming go to Sebastian Lechenbauer (www.dpool.net) and Robert Lemke (www.robertlemke.de).
With this milestone reached, the T3BRAND project has come to a successful end. The branding effort will now be transferred into a management and evaluation process to be defined by the communication committee. The logo and logo guide, the style guide and the font are now available here under the provisions of a creative commons license (http://typo3.org/teams/design/ci-flightplan/). Questions about the logo and its usage should be addressed to Rasmus Skjoldan (raz@bee3.com).
Association Internals
The first general assembly of the TYPO3 association takes place on March 2nd, 2006 in Copenhagen. The meeting will commence at 13:00 at the IT University of Copenhagen, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, DK-2300 Copenhagen S. The room number will be announced on the association website. For those planning to attend, the T3A-Site also contains the agenda and a registration form, so we can book a large enough room.
