Why was this team gathered today ?

This meeting is inline with the continuous will from eZ Systems to focus on the eZ Community. This focus is up to 100%, the dedicated Community Manager (Nicolas Pastorino) is here to grow the community, make it an even more attractive exchange place, and make sure it is a helpful, fun place to step by when working with eZ Publish.

The newly born http://share.ez.no is a tool for you, by you. Getting involved in making it evolve gives you the chance to share a bit of your skills and motivation in a concrete manner, keeping in mind the will to address the prominent needs of the whole. All participants to this meeting volunteered to be part of the share.ez.no team by answering positively to the call for participants here http://share.ez.no/blogs/ez/welcome-to-the-new-ez-community-portal. Five of them are not eZ employees, are long-time, active members, and decided to give a hand when they can, sharing their time to make share.ez.no yours. And they do have busy schedules, as we all do.

On behalf of the community: thank you.

As any team, some organization is required. This first meeting helped nail down the main ideas and objectives, sketch out the organization, and understand how we'll work together. Enforcing total transparency and openness, all meeting minutes and activity reports will be published on the dedicated "Share.ez.no team" blog on this website.

We need more hands and volunteers. So if you want to get involved, even for small tasks, drop an email at community [at] ez [dot] no, we'll happily share the job :)

And don't forget to share your thoughts: post a comment under this blog post!

This webinar will show and explain, step by step, how eZ Find, the enterprise-search plug-in for eZ Publish, helps you address the challenge of having a functional, performing, relevant search in a site. Register here.

Given the fair amount of feedback we received from you ( including the "get yourself an issue tracker so that we can fill it up" one ), we finally got a hold on one: http://issues.ez.no/ProjectSelect.php?Id=6.

A few hints to get you up and running quickly on this site.

To report issues, use the dedicated issue tracker.

Here you are, on share.ez.no 'alpha', the new portal 100% dedicated to the eZ Community.

The process was started some time before the conference this year, materialized by this forum thread : http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/new-community-site-basis-and-ideas. We received many replies on the topic, signs of a tremendous energy in here, and a great openness. We thought having a base for this community site, running a modern version of eZ Publish (4.2), would be the best way to start. Here it is today, for you, and soon....by you ! An idea is to gather a commitee of volunteers who will be actors in the development of this new portal. What you are seeing here and now is only the beginning! If you would like to actively participate in the evolution of this platform, contact community [at] ez [dot] no.
