In the era of keywords, if we would have to choose one for the month of May at the TYPO3 Association we would go for “change”.

May 18: announcement of Neos starting an own community
The TYPO3 Association and the Neos team have come to the <link http: typo3.org news article typo3-project-focuses-on-typo3-cms-neos-to-start-its-own-community _blank>common decision of separating the community into two. This crucial decision has been based on the fact that TYPO3 CMS and Neos grew apart in the last years and represent two conceptually distinct product. With the aim of enabling each project to focus on an own strategy and efficient use of resources, this decision has been considered the best viable choice. The TYPO3 Association and the Neos team are still discussing the details for the transition period. As the TYPO3 Association wants to further develop into a more democratic and transparent organization, it will be asking its members soon to vote on how much support the Association should give the Neos Team in the transition period and beyond.

May 22: Improving the membership listing
Improving our services in all levels is the focus of the TYPO3 Association. Therefore, we have started the process towards a new shop solution in April 2015. Unfortunately, this switch has had some side effects: currently our member listing is in a frozen state. We are however planning to integrate an updated listing within the next four weeks; this will translate also in the complete shutdown of our subdomain. At the moment all our content (execpt the the memberlship isting) has been moved already to <link https: typo3.org association _blank>
typo3.org/association.
