PrestaShop 1.0 makes its worldwide debut in August, shortly after the first public version (v0.9) is released. Just a month later, 1,000+ downloads are recorded and 13 translations from the Community received.
PrestaShop reaches two milestones in 2009: first, there’s the birth of PrestaShop Addons (remember “PrestaStore”?), a community marketplace that brings together the best modules and themes from (and for!) our Community. Second, the very first Community Barcamp is held. 50 attendees are expected... and over 250 show up! PrestaShop 1.1 and 1.2 are released, bringing with them Community-sourced improvements.
Thanks to the Community’s support, PrestaShop receives the first award of many more to come: the Packt Publishing Open Source Award, in the Ecommerce category. PrestaShop v1.3 is released, a month before a second Community Barcamp that draws 450+ attendees in Paris.
2011 is a year full of zeros! Between 100,000 stores, 200,000 members and a Barcamp with over 1,000 attendees, there’s a lot to celebrate. It’s also the year an unforgettable 1.4 version is released.
2012 is a very international year: a new Community website with a live map showing Community interactions across the world in real time is launched; two barcamps are held outside of France, in New-York (with 650 PrestaShoppers) and in Barcelona (with 500 PrestaShoperos).
PrestaShop 1.5 is released, bringing many long-awaited features including multi-store. The 2 million download mark is crossed, and collaboration with the Community on GitHub begins.
Phew, what a year! Half a million members and 3 million downloads are recorded less than a year after the previous threshold. A Barcamp brings together more than 1,500 attendees from 15 countries. 2013 is the year we start using Crowdin to enable more Community members to translate PrestaShop--the feedback is amazing!
The most influential version of PrestaShop is released: PrestaShop v1.6 is downloaded 23,000+ times within 24 hours of its release! We travel the world (for real!) to meet our merchants in their own stores and offices on the PrestaShop Worldtour.
That’s right, 2015 is the year of new beginnings. Preston becomes our new mascot, ushering in a completely new branding focused on what makes PrestaShop unique: our Community. PrestaShop moves to a kick-ass new HQ, right in the center of Paris, with a unique housemate: Puff Daddy.
The largest event ever takes place: PrestaShop Day brings together over 2,000 attendees and the biggest names in the industry!
Two major Community projects launch: the Addons Integration Fund and the Ambassador Program.
We’re just three months into 2016 and already thrilled to welcome the millionth member into our Open Source Community! There’s more to come, so come on and help us keep the adventure alive!
