The e-Commerce Convention 2009 in full swing!
Today was the last day to meet us on our stand at the e-Commerce Convention 2009, at Porte de Versailles in Paris. After two intense days of meetings and presentations, the last day of the exhibition also looked very promising.
Yesterday, facing a large audience, Patrice Cassard, founder of Archiduchesse.com, and Xavier Poitau from Axome agency, which has produced the website, explained their experience, alongside Bruno Lévêque and Igor Schlumberger at the conference "Design and launch your e-commerce website: Discovery of the Open-Source e-commerce software PrestaShop".
They discussed the flexibility to customize and to use our software and the very recent partnership between Axome and PrestaShop.

Our Gold partner Profileo will represent PrestaShop during the Open Days, taking place from today. Tomorrow, Xavier Bonnaud and Tristan Jacques will intervene for a presentation of PrestaShop, by the functional and technical aspects.
Workshops will also be organized, animated by Profileo, to discover our solution in action.
More about the Open Days and ProfileoAbout the development: modifications on the SVN version
No release this week, but several corrections were done on the SVN version of PrestaShop. Among the modifications, the correction of the bug encountered on volume discounts when combining multiple versions of products. We have also fixed a problem with taxes, which occurred after the removal of one of them. Finally, changes have been made on sending mail via SMTP, and PaypalAPI.
We invite you to visit the SVN to know all the bugs fixed. PrestaShop 1.2.4 is always available ;-)

As promised last week, a wave of moderators' recruitment has been realized. First, moderators already in place but inactive have been contacted and removed if necessary. Next, calls have been done in every forum without moderators. Answers were not long to arrive, with interesting candidates and a balanced distribution, which has made selection far easier.
There are now 31 moderators assigned to the different community forums. Thanks to them all! Only the Polish and Lithuanian forums actually remain without any moderator due to the lack of volunteers. A word to the wise! ;-)
If you consider that some forums are understaffed concerning the moderators, please don't hesitate to let us know.
