Dear Community

I am again very proud to announce the dates for this years eZ Publish Summer Camp. It will be very similar to last year: 4th to 7th September 2013. Same location: Bol, Croatia.

Do save the dates! :) 

Good morning eZ Community,

This is the 2nd issue of the monthly Product Management poll. It arrives a bit late as both the end of month happened unexpectedly earlier than it should, and the fantastic eZ Summit kept me busy end of last week. Read on and please provide some feedback, any piece of information will be valuable! And stay tuned, the result on the previous poll are very soon out of the oven.

This topic actually came up on the eZ Unconference in Köln this october. In one of the workshops people where asked what kind of quality assurance they used for their software development. The answer wasn't very uplifting, only a couple of the companies participating was actually using code reviews and the likes to improve their code quality. This, however, doesn't really surprise me.

In this blog post I will show how to install eZ publish 5 on Ubuntu.

Hi everyone,

This is an update on the work we are doing nowadays at eZ to improve editors' lives. When I rejoined eZ a few months back, I was amazed and very excited by all the challenges eZ was working on, from a new Web architecture based on Symfony2 to the huge move to a full digital User Experience Management platform. A lot of projects and challenges, and a huge opportunity to make a real difference.

While the challenges above are really super exciting and important, there is another challenge that has been discussed, but that I am sure is still really unclear: how eZ will improve the lives of editors with a much better user experience on all the user interface of the platform.

Indeed, we all know that the current user interface now is the one inherited from eZ Publish 3 - I don't want to count the years! This user interface had some real strengths back in the day, especially compared to many of our competitors. Some are still totally true, some less… and it still competes well with the old generation of CMS (e.g. most of the market). But the truth is that this is living in the past and it will only get worth, UX standards have evolved and the legacy interface is now hardly following.

So, now that we just rebuilt the foundation of the eZ Publish Platform, whose foundations are a new API (PHP and REST), Symfony2 as a Web framework and a new highly scalable storage repository, it is time to tackle this topic and (re)give eZ Publish a cutting edge editorial interface. This is actually the next step for eZ Publish 5 to enable to run on a 100% new system, without relying on any legacy component.

On Wednesday, March 7th 2012 the second eZ Publish Community Project Board was introduced to the eZ Community. It was the beginning of a great second term for this governance organ that spearheaded the development and the evolution of our innovation-focused community.

It is now time to renew the board and call for applications for the 3rd term.

Read on to learn about this year's achievements, the outlook for next year and how you can apply to become a member of this board.

Here are the minutes of the 32nd Community Project Board meeting. Our previous minutes can be found here.

eZ Summit starts in a week, check out why you should go there!

Congratulations to all contributors and eZ Engineering (loads of pull-requests this time), thanks to you guys, today we can enjoy a fresh build of eZ Publish Community Project: 2013.1, fourth "eZ Publish 5" build of Community Project!

You will be able to use the embedded 4.x version as a standalone version, for transition purposes. We highly encourage you to get acquainted from now on with the pure eZ Publish 5 stack, that is based on Symfony 2 Framework (full stack). Read on to learn more.
