Symphony.

Symphony CMS 2012 Boston Symposium

Open and free to all. The focus for this year's symposium will be geared to both active and new Symphony users. Additionally, it's my hope that we can come together and work as a group on a Symphony issue or two on Sunday (issues will be determined ahead a time).

Food is an unknown at this point. While much of it will be at your expense, I'm going to work on getting pizza donated Friday night and possibly lunches for Saturday and Sunday; this may also be done at the request of donations.

Look over the agenda and please feel free to make comments on this thread!

I'm interested as I will be in NY from September 26 to October 17th this year. Somewhere in that timeframe would be pretty awesome ;)

Thank you for narrowing the dates for me! Early October people.

I might be able to attend :)

Do you have a preference within Brendan's dates? :)

Any time within Brendan's dates work fine for me, really.

I wanted to visit the USA for a long time. So planning a trip around the Symposium sounds perfect and the timeframe fits me.

I'm probably going to be at Oktoberfest in Munich but I'll Skype in inbetween hangovers.

If you are there before the 26th, I'll share that hangover with you :D

I live in Connecticut/New York and I would be interested in attending

This would be awesome, Mark. Thanks for organizing this. It's too early to say whether I can commit to attending, but I will definitely look into it.

I updated the original post and will keep it updated.

That's great, it will be worth it!

I hope it works out for you, it would be a pleasure to meet you!

I guess that means I should take you out of the presentation lineup :-(

What sort of topics would people from the community like to see discussed? The preliminary agenda is just that, subject to change, and I want to make sure that Symphony CMS' core audience is not neglected.

If you've never been to Boston, here's a chance to see this historic part of America and get your geek on!

So are these dates definitely set?

I may be able to persuade my employer to send a couple of us designers/developers to the event. But I'd like to know if they are concrete.

September 28 to September 30 suit me the best. I just planned a 3500 mile road trip around them :D

I'm literally in the process now of confirming dates (most likely September 28, 29, 30) and I will have confirmed event dates sometime in the next two weeks.

I'll update things accordingly as soon as it is confirmed.

Okay, great.

As for the topics, it'd be nice if HTML5 boilerplate and its use with symphony would be nice.

I made a thread about it here http://symphony-cms.com/discuss/thread/86892/

From what I have seen so far Symphony is a superb platform for agile and modern development. So covering HTML5 would be great
