Thanks to all those whom participated in the Sitecore User Group meeting in Sydney last week. We had a great turn-out and it was good to see a mix of developers, partners and clients. We discussed the new and exciting features of Sitecore 6.2.
We also had a guest presentation from Gruden. Mark and Joel went through some of the implementation phases of Sitecore and talked about some of the custom functionality that they built into the Sitecore Desktop. It was really interesting to see that they had built a File-Output application that was able to do things like “Create an ISO file out of content Items”. Once again, thanks to Mark and Joel for taking the time to create their presentation.
We also gave away the prize for our first User Group Module competition and the winner was Steven Lim. Steven create a module that added functionality to the Content Editor for tasks that are often used within Sitecore, but are not built in functionalities. The module is available from the Shared Source Library. Steven won a Logitech Di Novo Keyboard for creating his module.
We also announced the prize for the next User Group Module competition which is due on the 22nd of February 2010. The winner will get this funky laser keyboard, for which practical use is yet to be determined, but on the coolness level is out of this world. I can’t wait to see what new modules come through this time.
Even if it recycling an old module that you have had lying around in Sitecore for a while, I recommend packaging it up and sending it through to myself. (tiw@sitecore.net )
Thanks again to all those whom attended and those whom have a 100% attendance rate!
Here is a link to some of the pictures from the night
