From August 23 to 26 2002 a Mir Developers meeting will take place in Berlin Germany. It will be a technical conference mainly focused on developing a roadmap for futur developement of Mir.
A Mir Developers Meeting from August 23rd to the 26th 2002 in Berlin,
Germany. The aim of the conference is to gather several users/developers
of the Mir CMS software together and to discuss the weaknesses/strengths
of the software as well as upcoming useability/feature needs in the
context in the ever growing CMS landscape. The meeting will primarly focus
on unifying diverse views to come up with a clear roadmap of what needs to
be done and how it should be implemented as well as dividing tasks and
setting priorities. For more information on topics of discussion please

interfaces will also take place to introduce new developers to the
software as well introducing the new Producer layer.
Some "proof of concept" programming and testing will most likely also
take place.
