The Community Day is the type of live events long-awaited by the Community : an opportunity to get together for real, put faces on nicknames, go beyond the normally virtual exchanges in forums, tutorials, blogs, IRC, twitter. Read on a bit to see what is coming up in January.

Edit : the wrap-up, slides and pictures of the conference are available here.

At a glance

It is also a good way to stay tuned with what happens in the eZ Community, and proposed ideas for the future on all fronts : eZ Publish Community Project, share.ez.no enhancements, ideas for other platforms used daily (projects.ez.no, planetezpublish.org ). In short : an involvement booster, plus a fair load of fun and nice evenings.
On top of subjects revolving around the eZ Community itself, the day is filled-up with techy talks around the eZ Technology, or the web in general. Should you want to stay tuned with the people and the Technology, step by and say hi. Don't forget to register ( tick "Community Day - I will be attending" ) ! If at this point in the reading you already feel you will have hard times convincing your boss, read this cheat sheet.
