Transition Days

This page belongs to the Core Team (category Core Team)

The TYPO3 Transition Days is a core developer event happening in the week after the T3CON08 in Berlin.

Goals and Target Audience

Goals

outlining ways to get the development strands of v4 and v5 closer together
learning the programming techniques behind TYPO3 5.0 / FLOW3
discussing how the transition to TYPO3 5.0 could look like and outlining what the preconditions regarding the transition are

It will be a workshop of a whole week, with an introduction to FLOW3 on the first one or two days and a mix of brainstorming and discussion as well as group work about TYPO3 5.0 and FLOW3 on the following days. The event will also be an educative event, in which the 5.0 guys will show how to develop with FLOW3 and should also give you the opportunity to do some hands-on development with and for TYPO3 5.0.

Target Audience

TYPO3 v4 active developers (non-core members as well)

those who want to be actively involved in TYPO3 v5 development really soon.

The Event is invitation-only. However, if you belong to one of these target groups above and did not receive an email, please write an email to ingmar (at) typo3 (dot) org or sebastian (at) typo3 (dot) org.

Date and Times

Monday, 13. October - Friday, 17. October.

In order to make it easier for those of you working in a company to attend, we're planning to start a little later each morning (like at eleven o'clock), so you can work about 3 hours for your companies/employers in the morning hours if you have to.

Start time on Monday: 11 o'clock.

How to get there

If you arrive by plane at Tegel Airport (TXL), the best way for you is to take the bus line X9.

To get to the TU Berlin / location of the T3TD: Depart at Ernst-Reuter-Platz
To get to the AO-hostel: Depart at Berlin Zoologischer Garten

Make sure to look up the right connection for your arrival time at the Deutsche Bahn TravelService.

Travel time from the airport is about 20 minutes, from Berlin Main Station about 15 minutes.

You'll have to buy a "Berlin Einzelfahrschein AB" (Single Ticket) which costs 2,10. They are available at the ticket machines or at ticket offices (in bigger stations). You'll have to validate your ticket before entering the train by using one of the stamp machines.

Internet Access

Yes, we do have internet access on the location. Please bring your own LAN cables. We'll try to get a WLAN working, but finding spare frequencies might be difficult, so better be prepared for cable based LAN. We do have enough switches though.
