The CMSMS Dev team is proud to announce the release of CMSMS 1.10.3 - Hyacinthe. This is primarily a bug fix release on the 1.10 series, and fixes some important issues related to the wysiwyg editor and other minor inconveniences. We recommend that you upgrade your site(s) as soon as possible.

Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and an early Happy New Year to all the dedicated CMSMS web professionals out there. The CMSMS dev team would like to take this time to thank you for your continued support of your favorite open source content management system. We thought that since it is almost the end of 2011 that we should take some time to review what has happened in the past year and outline some of the things that are coming up.

The CMSMS Dev team recently discussed some difficulties that appear from time to time with projects registered on the forge. Individually they are minor problems to the Dev team but can accumulate as we have seen in the past. Also, these problems may have major implications for our user community. To that end we as a group have come up with some rules for forge projects that are in effect as of now (the following will soon be inserted as rules to read when registering a new project in the forge). In the coming days we will also be sending an email out to all registered project administrators.

We need to raise some funds to allow some of the team members who volunteer thousands of hours to your favorite content management system to travel and participate in the GeekMoot 2012 and to meet you personally.

Hello CMSMS Professionals! We dont often reach out to professionals, because like us: you are often busy working on your next greatest project. Your coffee is often cold and you often work way too late (on weekends even) because of pressing deadlines, or interesting challenges. You are always molding your favorite content management system to do something different, or solving a problem that you know you would find difficult with other packages. Here is your opportunity to share some of the things you have learned, some of the techniques you have developed, and a few of your secrets with your colleagues, and to make yourself known.

It's that time again. The developers of CMS Made Simple have finalized plans for our yearly user conference. On Mar 9th and 10th, 2012 CMS Made Simple will host the third public Geek Moot event at The Lime Trees Hotel in Northampton in the UK, with a preceeding workshop day on the 8th. There will be plenty of presentations by the devs and other members of the community, events, networking and just general geeking out. There are plans for evening events in the works and they will be announced soon. Come spend time with the CMSMS devs and other people just like you for a few days of fun with the system you love. For more details on the event, see http://geekmoot.com/2012.
Presentations We are looking for people to do talks and presentations on CMSMS related and web development topics. If you'd like to do a presentation (and promote yourself as a CMSMS know-it-all or your company), please contact us here. Proposals are due by 15th December.
Workshops We are also looking for people who want to host a workshop on the 8th of March. Workshops will be an extra fee and even after covering the cost of the room, should easily pay for the trip for a half of day's worth of work. We'd like to get this setup as quickly as possible, so if you would like to host a workshop, please contact us so we can see if it will work and book a time slot. Once these are setup, we will announce them to the community and beyond.
Sponsors In addition, we are looking for potential sponsors. We've created several sponsorship packages, but of course, if you have other ideas for sponsorship, let us know. Sponsorship details are found here. We would love to get several sponsors if possible.
Donation Drive We will also do our yearly donation drive in a month or so. The money for this will go to paying for several devs to travel to the conference, as they normally wouldn't be able to. We'll announce that when we're prepared to handle the influx of funds -- and figure out who needs them.
Early Bird Discount Register by 30th December and receive a discount! We'll have some other deals as well as we get details. Stay tuned! Thanks! We hope to see you in March!

CMSMS 1.10.2 is more of a ‘smoothing out the rough edges’ release. Only one of the issues we addressed could be called ‘critical’.. but some of them were rather annoying and caused confusion. As well, some were old issues that we finally addressed. So it was time to get them out of the way.

As usual, straight out of a major functionality release there are always some bugs spotted. And usually important ones. 1.10 has been no different, even with a longer than normal, and public beta process. This is an important bug fix release...
