[Update] - Mayflower was so kind to offer a conference room of their office in Munich to hold a few talks, exchange know-how and talk Dojo, so our schedule is changing a little bit.
The main event will be held on Saturday, December 6th at Mayflower (times, address, schedule will be announced soon) and we will then go somewhere to have dinner and dojo.beers(). We will still meet on Friday 5th for dojo.beers() and everybody who is in town is invited to join.

Today marks a very exciting milestone for two great Open Source Products: The Zend Framework and The Dojo Toolkit. Zend aims to provide out-of-the box Ajax functionality capable of communicating directly with the Framework, and Dojo aims to provide the solution.
The animation framework in Dojo is very flexible, but because of that flexibility, using it is not a trivial task for the common web programmer. The animation system works well for the JavaScript-savvy, but what if a Dojo beginner wants to add a simple animated effect to an element on the page? What if he wants to make that animation toggle?
At SitePen, we've just added a new Dojo QuickStart Guide. This guide was developed by the SitePen support team.
The moment has arrived. I've been anticipating this since the first new fixes to trunk were made, shortly after the 1.0 release. I am proud -- no, elated -- to announce what marks another solid run of around-the-clock development: The Dojo Toolkit version 1.1
