Session proposals

Name: Frans Saris
Session description:
During development of TYPO3 8 a lot changed concerning RichtTextEditing in TYPO3. The default behaviour of the saved data changed and we got the an new editor; CKEditor. In my talk I will go through a lot of these changes and show you how to change your site and/or extension configuration to use the new stuff.

Name: Karen Falkenberg
Session description: The example of planning a TYPO3 camp demonstrates how to increase the perception of a camp with social media. As you remember, last year a camp had to be canceled due to a lack of participants. In addition, it has to be questioned how to reach TYPO3 users who have never visited a camp? The different social media platforms can be used for different functions. At first, you get a brief overview of the current social media landscape and you will discover the benefits of several platforms. Afterwards you are introduced to a possible editorial plan for your event planning. In the practical part, we look at actual posts of event announcements as well as answers and participants' posts. How could the shown posts be optimized? How would you rewrite these posts? As a participant, you are invited to actively join the dissemination of event information.

Session description:
Besides all the large topics there are many small features added to TYPO3 version 8 which are worth to be in the spotlight. We'll take a look at the little things that make the life of editors, integrators and developers a bit better.

Session description:
There is momentum to moving container based systems instead of the traditional single machine (or virtual machine) model. Where does that leave your mission critical LAMP stack application? Can it be containerized? Without tremendous amounts of pain? Of course it can.
Containerizing LAMP stack apps is pretty straight forward, once you know what you're doing. The goal of this session is to get you there. This session will walk you through setting up a LAMP app on an existing Kubernetes cluster using Replica Sets, Stateful Sets, Persistent Volume Mounts, and other Kubernetes tools you need to run the LAMP stack in a container based system.

Session description:
As TYPO3 developers, integrators, users and managers we face more and more channels and notification systems. While some of them are absolutely needed, others may be total useless. As every active channel and notification may disrupt one's attention the result of the interruption is likely to decrease productivity. In my session I would like to show tools to handle information overload. Most of them are technical, some are strategies. The session is not about organizing a workday however, or how to be more productive in general.

This talk was inspired by a discussion on Twitter about the notification integration in the TYPO3 backend.

Name: Benni Mack
Session description:
Configuring the Rich Text Editing part of TYPO3 was always
considered a big and painful task.
Core Team leader Benni Mack will take us back in history and
show why it's been a problem for such a long time, to understand
the reasons for so many options... With TYPO3 v8 and CKEditor, we're having fun again. Benni will show what you can do with CKEditor and TYPO3 v8 - using it in your next project.

Name: Benni Mack
Session description:
Benni will give an introduction to the performance tool Blackfire,
and show real-life examples what could make TYPO3 really slow... and TYPO3 really fast.
Concentrating on TYPO3 frontend requests, it's all about identifying bottlenecks and bad-code-smell in plugins and extensions.

Name: Peter Foerger
Session description:
Overview of the current deployment landscape regarding web applications and especially TYPO3.
We will have a look at the most common tools available and how they implement best practises and stick to proven software development principles. Of course we will have a demo section showcasing dkdeploy, our open source tool we use for years at dkd Internet Service GmbH and how to implement it into other services like platform.sh for instance.

Name: Oliver Klee
Session description:
This session aims to be a step getting our community more diverse in terms of gender, race, (dis)ability, country of origin and other aspects.
In a short talk, we will have a look at the following things:
What is diversity? And in the TYPO3 community, where do we stand concerning diversity?
What hinders diversity? What are some of the hard factors, and what organizational problems and behaviors discourage people from participating?
What do other organizations do to increase diversity?
After that, we will have a workshop/discussion where we will collect ideas about what we can do the TYPO3 community to increase diversity. We will also plan the first steps.

What to bring for the Threema scanning (if that's what you're interested in): a smartphone with Threema on it
Please create your GPG key and Threema account before the session. The session will not be an introduction to GPG, and there is no time planned for creating GPG keys.
The session will take about half an hour.

I want to show how to configure and set up custom content elements using mask and mask_export. You will learn about best practice in storing your configuration and templates in an own extension.

Session description:
TYPO3 Console has a wide user base already, but not everybody is using the newest features. This means however not tapping the full potential.
In my session I will present how some of these features will simplify and thus speed up development and deployment processes. You will learn to have time to drink a coffee or do more important stuff, because TYPO3 Console takes care of the boring tasks.
Basic composer knowledge is not strictly required to follow my session but very helpful to get more out of it.

Session description:
For TYPO3 extension developers there is a catch-22 situation to be solved, since it is hard to generate an acceptable income based on open-source software that has already been shared for free.
With donations, association budgets, crowdfunding and service level agreements we have got several ways of financing available.
We need to find out, which of them is most suitable for extension developers, so they can make a living based on their creations, while providing trustable solutions for TYPO3 agencies, integrators and users.
With our new project Coders.Care we are providing solutions for these tasks that we are going to present during the session.

In this session we are going to give you an overview of the results of T3UXW17, which took place end of March. Get some insights on things that have been planned, started or finished by the participants since 2014. If you want to join one of the teams, this will be your way to find out, which topic would be interesting for you. Additionally we will give some information about the lessons learned. Based on these lessons we will slightly change the concept for upcoming T3UXW events, so we will give people who want to participate or invest in the next T3UXW a preview on the plans.
