On wednesday, 24th Sept. 2009, the second Virtuemartday took place in germany as a part of the german joomladays (Website: joomladay.de, Twitter Hashtag: #jd09de). We were part of the organizers of the whole event and also speaker on all days.
On the virtuemartday we had a training-track “Virtuemart from A to Z” with an additional FAQ for all things that were not answered in the training. In the second track we had a session about the current virteumart status (1.1.x), the next step (1.5) and the future (Virtuemart 2) which was very interesting. The slides of this presentation (german) are available for download soon. After that, our partner “Paypal” has presented the upcoming Paypal Platform and the Paypal Express Checkout we have developed for Virtuemart.
The guys from Joomla-Remote have presented their solution for managing Virtuemart and Joomla from a windows application.
After the delicious lunch the “Virtuemart A to Z” track continued and we started our session “Getting the most out of Virtuemart” where we showed what can be done with virtuemart by showing live examples followed by the tips and ways how to realize it in the themes and upcoming userclasses (VM 1.1.4)
The last session of the day was held by a lawyer about “the law compliant online shop” (is there a better translation?). This session was very popular, so the other planned session wasn’t held.
Overall, it was a very successful day and we have received very nice compliments (but also suggestions for improvements) from the audience.
Pictures, slides and additional information coming soon…
