I think it was during the Core-Team Meeting before the TYPO3 Developer Days 2009 when Jens Hoffman told the core team of his idea to make a meeting dedicated to the TYPO3 UI.

He planned a meeting with designers, developers and managers to work focused on usability tasks. The event should be free for all attendees and it was limited to 30 people. Now this vision becomes reality. From November 14th till November 21st a jury will elect a team of 30 people you will hopefully make the vision not only a reality but also a success.

I already applied for the event and I hope I get selected for it. Not because it's free but because it's a very important task that was disregarded the last years.

If you want to get more information on the project check out http://t3uxw09.typo3.org. Don't forget to send your application for the job if you think you can bring it forward.
