With pleasure, we present the new eZ Community Board! After following our renewal process, we succeeded in getting a new board for the '17/'18 term.

This week we share news about recent local meetups, eZ Conference early bird tickets, a call for papers and updates in social media and events.

This week we share news about the final release of Netgen’s Tags Bundle 3.0, the extension of the nomination period for the renewal of the Community Board and updates in social media and events.

In our case study FindaTopDoc Prescribes eZ Publish for Healthy Content Management, we briefly covered our integration of PlagScan into the editorial approval workflow. When writing about medical topics, content -- especially medical term definitions -- can end up being duplicated on other sites, even if it was not purposely copied. Therefore, it is important for SEO reasons to ensure that all content on the FindaTopDoc site is as unique as possible. Here we'll take a closer look at how the plagiarism scanner integration works.

This week we share news about the renewal of the eZ Community Board, the eZ Platform 1.7.2 release and updates in resources, social media and events.

Here are the minutes of the latest Community Board meeting,  February 22, 2017. Our previous minutes can be found here.

I recently had a lucky moment and was saved by a happy combination of things, including Assembla, eep, and a couple bits of dev-ops.

Last year, I switched from developing on a dual-boot Windows and Linux machine to working on a Mac. During the transition, I felt my productivity slump: not only was I missing keyboard shortcuts that I had become very accustomed to (such as Alt+←, for instance), but some native MacOS behaviour drove me crazy (like ⌘+Tab cycling through applications rather than cycling through windows of all applications). I also found the Mac terminal to be lacking, missing important utilities, and running some outdated binaries. So, vowing to prove decisively the superiority of humans over machines, I decided to make my Mac Just Work* ™  _{* Like my PC used to.}

“The goal of the eZ Community Board is to govern and coordinate community-driven activities related to eZ Platform and to other open source projects from eZ Systems and/or other members in the eZ community as well as to promote and help grow the community.”

The current Community Board has been in place since March 2016. Time to renew the Board!

2016 has seen a lot of progress. eZ Engineering has launched several releases of eZ Platform, including a Long Term Support release. The community is engaging and sharing knowledge on Slack, as well as events such as Web Summer Camp and the eZ Conference. The recently started work around eZ Platform v2 has also triggered several initiatives in our community to showcase some of the topics at hand.

This week we share news about the new eZ Platform 1.8 Fast Track release, eZ Conference 2017, a back end prototype based on Angular by CJW Network and more.
