Back in 2010, eZ Systems had donated the eZ Components project to the Apache Foundation , as an Incubator project. This loosely-coupled, high-quality set of PHP libraries became the Apache Zeta Components. The journey continues today, read on to learn more.

While developing with eZ Publish over the last 5 years, I've seen many developers' names mentioned, but have never met them (and living in Middle Earth doesn't help!). Well, now, thanks to Google Hangouts, I can, you can, we all can.

Here are the minutes of the 21st Community Project Board meeting. Our previous minutes can be found here.

On June 6th in Paris, Jérôme, from our engineering and R&D team will enlighten us on Concurrency and Scalability, illustrating the talk with his experience on eZ Publish, and most particularly the latest developments of eZ Publish 5.

With Etna (4.7) now out the door, eZ Publish's git repository is now re configured for 5.0.0alpha1, signaling that development of 5.0 has started. This has no effect other then signaling ezpublish repository is about to see some larger changes than you would normally see in the next 4 months.

Today is “Release Day” for Enterprise Edition!

While eZ Publish Community Project is updated and published every month  - which is a regular expression of what we, the eZ Community & eZ Engineers, are building very successfully, we have our share of guilty pleasure in the release of the Enterprise Edition.

EDIT : The webinar dates & times have changed, see further below to register (again) !

The Share Team is responsible for maintaining the eZ Community portal http://share.ez.no. Until now the team has taken on each task that came along primarily on their own, without help from any other community members, exception to be made of the amazing design contest. This approach is going to change.

Each time there’s a need to get a list of articles/users/comments in eZ Publish, we use fetch functions. Fetch function can be used in a template (http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Modules/content/Fetch-functions/list, http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Modules/content/Fetch-functions/tree) and PHP code (https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish/blob/master/kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php#L1837). That’s why problems may arise, when you need to fetch a lot of nodes.

Settings, directories, AcitveExtension, ActiveAccessExtension, etc.. Use them in the wrong order and go slightly mad.

Mix them up in the right quantities and in the right order, add a touch of patience and you have the recipe for easily updating an extension!

Last time I wrote about the first steps we took to launch the extension ‘eZ Multitasking One’ on the eZ Market. In this blog post I will describe why we chose to develop our extension as much as a self-contained product, relying on the eZ Publish kernel. But first, did you perhaps join the webinar of the eZ Publish Enterprise 4.7 ‘Etna’ release yesterday? Then you should have seen a glimpse of our extension in the presentation, being described as ‘revolutionary’ for eZ Publish, or as the news-page of eZ describes it: ‘The possibility of editing and working on multiple articles or content items at any given time revolutionizes the way eZ Publish Enterprise clients can operate freeing up operators to concentrate on the quality of content creation which is their core business.’ Yes, that made me proud, and also gave me extra energy to write this blog post today.
