Announcing the Partner Program
We are all very proud to announce the SilverStripe Partner Program! This is a big deal for us for a number of reasons:
- Through our partners, we are able to provide local development and support services to the SilverStripe community throughout the globe.
- Our partners are trusted providers who have demonstrated a commitment and ability to provide excellent SilverStripe-related services to their clients. All together, our partners offer marketing, design, development, and support for your SilverStripe needs.
- We're answering the call: more businesses (and individuals) around the world will be able to attend local SilverStripe meetups, talk to local SilverStripe service providers, and get support when they need it.
Here at SilverStripe headquarters we're still providing the same services as always, but starting today, our partners will be able to offer their SilverStripe design, development, and support expertise with the backing of SilverStripe HQ here in New Zealand.

A flurry of meetups
Over recent weeks there's been a flurry of great meetups. These have provided us with a great sense of what people are doing with SilverStripe in London, Germany, and (pictured below) in Wellington.
We're very pleased to learn what people are up to, and what they want. We have taken feedback on board in either our development list or as one of the many new tickets in our bug/feature tracker.

Wellington meetup and v2.3 pre-release party
Join us on Monday 17th November from 6pm at the Southern Cross bar!
We're interesting in meeting up with the local web community and those who use SilverStripe, so that we can listen to your ideas and answer your questions, technical or otherwise.

Webstock 08
What an awesome time we had last week at Webstock 08. For those of you not in New Zealand, Webstock is web-industry conference held here in Wellington every two years. This year the speakers included the likes of Tom Coates, Kelly Goto, Liz Danzico, Peter Morville, Michael Lopp, Kathy Sierra, and New Zealand's own Nat Torkington and Russell Brown, among many others.

Barcamp Wellington
Last Saturday I (Brian) went to the NZ egov barcamp here in Wellington. It was a wonderfully informal event attended by about 80 or so of the New Zealand website creation crowd and government representatives who care about how government websites get built.
I gave a talk on the RFP process, while others spoke about Agile techniques, microformats, identity management, open source issues in government, accessibility, multi-output rendering based on single document source, risk management theory and practice, and more. Here's a mindmap of many of the ideas presented.

Webstock, Wellington, Feb 2008
For anyone who is deliberating on when to visit New Zealand, the decision is now really simple: February 2008! Not only does our late summer finally kick in, but Webstock 2008 is on, and it will warm your soul!
It will be will be a bigger and better repeat of our previous conference for the website industry, featuring an impeccable line-up of international speakers and workshops over a week. We're also auctioning off the first ticket, which gives you dinner with the speakers.

Wellington Events
It's a great time to be a geek (or around geeks) in Wellington at the moment... with all the lousy winter weather setting in, everyone's putting on events. The Unlimited Potential event, and the new website we created them, went very well last week, and now there is...

Tara's in town
The Wellington web scene is in for a treat. Tara Hunt is in town. She's well known for her HorsePigCow blog, and a list of passions too numerous to list here. Here's an attempt: BarCamps, Coworking, Creative Commons, EFF, Microformats, and defining marketing in a way I wish everyone exercised. She's flown from San Francisco to be a keynote at GOVIS, and should you be willing, to meet you at Vivo Wine Bar tonight at 9pm... :)
Update: Photos of the night added :)

April PHP meetup
Last month SilverStripe hosted the Wellington PHP meetup. Sam Minneé and Sigurd Magnusson demonstrated how to build a SilverStripe-powered website. Lots of questions were asked, and beers and chips consumed.
