First Community Barcamp

Barcamp

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.

2 million downloads and 2 international Barcamps

Barcamp

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.
