Even though it received some good response and the amount of bug reports went up quite a bit, we still didn't hit 200 yet.

Looking back at the CMS Expo & Chicago!

Mark Hamstra — Tue, 29 May 2012 02:06:00 -0600

You probably noticed MODX was represented at the CMS Expo in Chicago, already a week and a half ago. I was there too! For me personally, this was a week of ”firsts”: First time on an 8hr flight, outside Europe, in the United States, first time visiting Chicago and first time meeting my employers (fun story).
