TYPO3 in 2010, Join the TYPO3 Association and Get Involved

We at Acqal had a good year and TYPO3 continues to increase its market share in the US, although we all would like to see that move a lot quicker.2009 saw the first TYPO3CON outside of Germany. Held in Dallas, it was well attended and was a great start to bigger things to come.
