commerce

During the TYPO3 Developer Days 2012 in Munich, Volker Graubaum (e-net), Sebastian Böttger (Typovision) and Ingo Schmitt (MFC) had a short meeting about the next steps in commerce development.
In the next few weeks the team want to work on the open issues in forge and want to release version 1.0 at the beginning of July. This Version will have full 4.5 LTS support and will also be tested on the current stable version. We also aim to have a "starter package" based on the TYPO3 starter package.

After the 1.0 release the next steps would obviously be to enable extbase and fluid for the rendering. This would be a major rewrite based on the current Domain Model for all Page Render Modules. This would be a 2.0 Release. For the long term we could foresee having a complete FLOW3 Commerce Package (as Version 3.0).

Planing for Version 2.0 and 3.0 have not yet started, this includes technical and conceptual work as well as funding. (A rough estimate for Version 2.0 is 30+ project days.)
We all want to continue on the development of TYPO3 commerce but we would also like the community (developers and users) to contribute more to the project.

After a short night the TYPO3 Commerce team met at marit AG on early Saturday morning. Volker, Nils and Sascha where working on the issues regarding the attribute drop downs, Dimitri, Sebastian, Erik and Ingo have been working on the open issues. David mainly worked on a demo-shop and Ralf updated commerce_coupons. The whole team finished their work after 15 hours of work at 2400 hrs.

Sunday the TYPO3 Commerce team met at crosscontent. Here the team used half of the day to work on the missing issues. In the afternoon we discussed the future of commerce and the next development steps. We agreed on guidelines how to process.

Since [MARIT AG http://www.marit.ag] is already hosting the TYPO3 Akademie 2010 at the 19th and 20th February in Munich and quite a lot of developer would attend both events, we agreed to move the TYPO3 Commerce Meeting to Munich to join the German TYPO3 Community. The Commerce Meeting will start at Friday afternoon 17:00 and will close on Sunday 17:00. This gives attendees also the possible to listen to the Akademie Tracks on Friday and us the opportunity to join the party at the Akademie on Friday. Drinks and Food will be organized by the Akademie team and would be for the whole event 50,-- Euro per Person.

A detailed schedule-2010 is released on the wiki, please add you to the list of the participants if you want to attend and write an email to team@typo3-commerce.org. Maybe also add some todos-2010 to the wiki?¶

The next TYPO3 Commerce developer meeting will be from Friday the 19th February 2010 to Sunday 21th February. The event will be hosted at e-netconsulting.

A detailed schedule-2010 will be released on the wiki, please add you to the list of the participants if you want to attend and write an email to team@typo3-commerce.org. Maybe also add some todos-2010 to the wiki?¶

Our plan is to start developing on Friday evening, we will have some geek-food ready in the office. Saturday will be packed with some more coding and developing, dinner and party will be afterwards in Hamburg. The meeting official closes on Sunday 17:00.

Please be sure what you are doing, if you are updating commerce, since a lot of changes are lost in forge.
See http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/entry/extension-commerce/trunk/change.svn for a list of changes.

The TYPO3 security team has discovered a security issue in the Commerce code. Please see the detailed security bulletin at: http://typo3.org/teams/security/security-bulletins/typo3-20081020-2/

Please update your installations to the latest Versions, if you can't update to the TER Version nor to the SVN Version, a patch file can be requested from the TYPO3 Commerce team at team@typo3-commerce.org

After the great success of the first developer meeting in Düsseldorf, we agreed to organize the 2nd Meeting again in Düsseldorf at the Weekend 15/16th November 2008. This meeting will be again in the office of the Marketing Factory.

Like in the last workshop we will split up in groups and work on different jobs and tasks for commerce, so everyone could learn from the team and everyone would bring something in into the project. The meeting will start "in official" Friday evening with a dinner and will start official Saturday at 10:00 and will finish Sunday at 17:00.

We will organize some lunch for Saturday and Sunday, so nobody will have to leave the office for this. Although this workshop is free, we would collect a small fee for the lunch on both days.

If you like to join us, please send us a mail to team@typo3-commerce.org. We also could arrange your accommodation for the night, since we do have a special rate to the hotel near by our office.

Thanks to the TYPO3 core team, all typo3xdev extensions where moved to forge.typo3.org. This gives the extension teams more features for developing and sharing their extensions. The new platform comes with a own bugtracker and a own wiki.

TYPO3 Commerce now uses this platform for the future development, all new issues should be entered in the bugtracker at forge, the SVN was already translated an new commits where made to the new SVN.

Feel free to join the TYPO3 Commerce development team here!
