TYPO3 Teaserbar and T3CON09
I love my new HP Mini and wrote this blog entry in a text editor using it. When I was done, I set the mini down and the battery decided to fall out. Not good. I get to now rewrite my entry. At least this isn't as bad as losing an entire research paper when I was in grad school. I think I might save as I go this time :-)
Acqal Exec Team Going to T3CON09
We are excited that the Acqal Executive Team will all be at T3CON09 in Frankfurt, for a variety of reasons. First is the conference itself, including tutorial day. The amount that may be learned is amazing and hard to describe. This year, there will be additional tracks, so there will be something for anyone connected with TYPO3 in any way, from developers, agency project managers, users, potential users, company representatives researching content management systems, designers, marketers, and everyone in between.
Next is the opportunity to meet old friends and meet new ones, including face-to-face meeting people we know from the Internet or by reputation, but have never actually met. Plus, meeting completely new people. The opportunity for making friends and networking is probably the most important part of any industry conference.
There is also the opportunity for meetings with people from other companies who are interested in discussing potential business endeavors. I already have two meetings set up with principles from other companies interested in exploring mutually beneficial relationships. We will be there from 7 September to the 13th, so can be available both before and during the conference. Being there before the conference especially offers opportunities to meet with European companies looking for a US or Asian connection (we have offices in two US states and Taiwan). If anyone would like to get together with one of us or all three, please let us know. I missed many opportunities at the last T3CON I attended just due to no prior planning.

New Extension: Teaserbar
I haven't tried this one yet, just heard about it today, but it looks pretty interesting and useful. Mario Rimann has created an extension that shows large teaser images to convey an emotional image to the visitor of the website.
From Mario's blog:
- each teaser can be assigned to one or multiple categories
- records can be localized
- the same teaser will not be shown twice in a row to the same visitor
- you can mark some of the teasers as "fallback" - these will be shown if no other teaser is matching for the request
- teasers can be linked to internal pages
And, once again, if you haven't taken the TYPO3 Training Survey, click here and do it now! It only takes ten minutes.
