Fifth CMSc User Day
On Tuesday 23-th March 2008 the fifth CMSc user day took place at Finalist at Rotterdam (see presentation). In the morning frontend developers had an opportunity to train their skills in working with the CMSc layout, views and stylesheets. In the afternoon the 1.4 release (see release notes) was presented with a demo of the Personal Pages in the website of the National Comitee in rememberance of May 4 and 5. The personal pages is the first module that uses the new community module in the CMSc. The roadmap for the new releases will be centered around the newsletter module, which is also based on the community module, and improved asset management. The user day closed with a presentation by Jon-Paul Sistermans on www.ikbouwmijnhuisinalmere.nl and the possibilities of Flex/Flash in the CMSc by Diederick Lawson.
