Activity report - TYPO3 community Japan

TYPO3 activities in Japan: July - September (Q3/2011)

It was a long, hot and humid summer this year. During the summer months, the participation at exhibition and conferences were limited. Yet, we all enjoyed summer, including BBQs and cold beer!

Still, we inspired more people to get to know TYPO3 in Japan and were participating in the 2nd biggest open source conference in this country - the Kansai OSC, this time in held in Kyoto.

Open Source Conference Kansai/Kyoto - 15 & 16 July 2011
TYPO3 was present with a small booth. And TUGJ community member Hidefumi Okumura demonstrated the newest version of TYPO3 4.5 LTS with long time support to the audience.

Outlook (Q4/2011)

As calm and enjoyable the summer was, the more busy and exciting the next autumn quarter will get. In the months October to December 2011 we plan the following events and conference participations:

Open Source Conference Tokyo/Fall - 19/20 November 2011
TYPO3 is present with a small booth at the autumn conference in Tokyo.

TYPO3 Community Day in Kyoto - 26 November 2011
The TYPO3 community in Japan organizes a 2nd edition of the TYPO3 Community Day, this time in Kyoto, in the Kansai region of West Japan.
We will have speakers and presentations in the afternoon. Before that we start-off with the TYPO3 certification exam for developers to test their skills to become TYPO3 Certified Integrators. And in the evening, all participants are invited to join the social gathering in beautiful Kyoto.

TYPO3 Community Japan - activity report 1st half-year 2011

TYPO3 Association in contact with Japan

The TYPO3 Association (T3A) has been publishing regularly activity reports, including updates of the international activities of communities worldwide... namely in Germany, France, Italy, USA, Canada, Romania, Cambodia and Japan. In 2011, these T3A activity reports received a focus of activities only at the association. But the community gets a new and more frequently updated (most probably monthly) news container for publishing and announcing their updates.

I think, it's a good move to bring more attention to the community, the many worldwide activities and also its members.

I've been asked by Ben - TYPO3 Community Manager at T3A - about activities held in Japan. While writing the activity report, I was very happy to see that the TYPO3 Users Group Japan (TUGJ) - and we at snowflake as a part of that - have had a good and active first half-year 2011.

Here an overview of TYPO3 activities in Japan 2011:

T3SKI11: 18-20 February 2011

In addition to last years T3SKI in Inawashiro (Fukushima Prefecture), we wanted to add in 2011 a day with speeches, broader range of information and international exchange.

On Friday 18. February 2011 the T3SKI11 event started with the first TYPO3 Community Day held in Tokyo. During the early morning session on that day, we also organized the certification exam. 3 developers attended, 1 lucky winner (or hard studying student?) made it to become Japan's first TYPO3 Certified Integrator.

Same evening, the group of about 20 enthusiasts headed by bus to the snowy mountains in Hakuba (Nagano Prefecture), where we enjoyed snowboarding, skiing and the hot springs in beautiful winter weather conditions.

Earthquake: 11 March 2011

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was the most powerful earthquake ever hit Japan. More than 20'000 people lost their lives, the world got shocked by the nuclear accident in Fukushima just about 200km north of Tokyo, with 32.5 million citizen the largest metropolitan area in the world. Life had stopped for a moment.

Thank you TYPO3 community, for all your supportive messages during the days and weeks after that crisis.

Open Source Conferences

Life goes on, so does the activities of the TYPO3 Users Group in Japan (TUGJ). We continued to participate in the Open Source Conferences (OSC) organized in many Japanese cities.

TYPO3 was exhibited at the following conferences:

TYPO3 Training in Shanghai

English and Chinese corporate website

Last week, I have been traveling to Shanghai for a TYPO3 training. It's for a website project of a newly developed bilingual corporate website, both in English and also Chinese language. The clients web team consists of Swiss staff at the Headquarters in Switzerland and also Chinese marketing communications specialists at their Shanghai office in China. The purpose of my visit was to train the Chinese project team.

Both Swiss and Chinese staff work on the same TYPO3 CMS system, initially installed and managed by the server administrator team at snowflake in Zurich. Certainly a technical highlight of the server setup is its double location in Switzerland and Japan, both servers in sync. Content editors can manage updates on both TYPO3 servers, the changes will be synchronized automatically to both server locations. And European and Asian website visitors will get the best possible performance.

This setup may be also of interest for more clients from Europe, where Asia is already a big and important market having many website visitor access their web presence from Asian countries.

snowflake offers server locations both in Europe (Switzerland) and Asia (Japan).

Shanghai 上海

The largest city by population and certainly China's international business hub with the busiest container port in the world. The municipality counts over 23 million people, GDP of ~250 billion US$ and an annual growth of 9.9% in 2010.

It is located ~1'800km west of Tokyo, connected by many daily flights. Flight time is slightly less than 3 hours, and only 1 hour time difference.

An amazingly busy metropolis, also famous for its skyline of Pudong sky scrapers seen from The Bund.

Location: City Center offices in Shanghai

tt_news in Japanese available

日本語 for most popular TYPO3 extension

We have successfully completed the Japanese translation of the most popular extension for TYPO3: News.

The tt_news extension has been downloaded over 300'000 times to date and is - of course - also popular among Japanese TYPO3 users. So, now a fully translated version is available to our Japanese clients and the TYPO3 community.

Feel free to get the Japanese tt_news translation via a translation update from the extension repository.

First TYPO3 Community Day in Japan

Japanese TYPO3 community is meeting in Tokyo

Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower

Night view from Tokyo Tower

Coming Friday February 18, 2011 - and for the first time in Japan - snowflake as member of the local user group is organizing a TYPO3 Community Day with sessions of Japanese and international speakers.

We feel, it's important to bring up-to-date knowhow from the international community into Japan so that web developers get to know TYPO3 better and understand the power of this very successfull community-driven Enterprise Open Source CMS.

This is what we have planned for the day:
