eZ publish Camp 2005 - summary

The last couple of days eZ systems had their third Summer Camp at Gaustablikk. The Camp is meant for users, partners and interested people to gather information about eZ publish, discuss things together and socialize.

When we arrived at the Gaustablikk Høyfjellshotell (Norwegian) we went straight for dinner. After this great dinner the socializing started.

The conference itself started on the next day, Friday June 3rd. Frederik and Alexander introduced eZ publish 3.6 and our new network product that we will be releasing later this year. After the introduction three simultaneous tracks started with different talks. All talks where fairly short - and thus to the point. After my own talk on Enterprise Hosting - dealing with Clustering and our new Static Cache - I visited Vidar's session on "Making Money on eZ publish". In this session Vidar spoke about ways for partners to increase their income flow. Bård's session with eZ publish tips and tricks followed with little tips that nobody thought about before.

Bjørn Dieding from Xrow presented on their SVN plugin for eZ publish and the content server . Tony Wood from Vision WT closed the day with a talk on "Multi-Lingual Tips and Tricks".

The second day of the conference was dedicated to community discussions. Here we discussed wanted features by customers, the eZUS edu usergroup and other things. After this full and fun day of discussions we relaxed some and had again an excellent dinner. Some discussions continued into the (very) late hours of Saturday.

On Sunday everybody returned home, although some people finally tried to make it to the top of Gaustablikk. Pictures of the entire event can be found here .
