TYPO3 Association Election 2026

What is this Election About?

In 2026 three positions on the Board of the TYPO3 Association will be re-elected. In addition, there are two positions on the Business Control Committee (BCC) up for re-election.

The term of office expires this year for the following members of the Board and the BCC:

In the TYPO3 Association Board:

• Boris Hinzer (Vice-President)
• Stefan Busemann (Treasurer)
• Rachel Foucard (Board Member)

In the Business Control Committee:

• Jochen Weiland (BCC Member)
• Roberto Torresani (BCC Member)

The Board takes care of the vision and the day to day business of the TYPO3 Association. Furthermore, the Board is part of the Supervisory Board of the TYPO3 GmbH.

The BCC works to increase transparency. It manages budgets and the application & contracting process. In addition, it monitors the TYPO3 Association's activities and finances to secure confidence and trust in both the processes and elected bodies of the TYPO3 Association.

Find out more about roles and responsibilities on the Board and the BCC on the Fields of Responsibility page.

The average time commitment for a role on the Board is at least four hours per week. For the BCC, it's at least two hours per week.

You don’t have to be a developer or software engineer to hold a position on the Board or BCC. If you are a dedicated member of the community and have a vision for the future of TYPO3, you will be a valuable asset to the team.

A breadth of work and life experience means that you can better represent the community and help make decisions that govern TYPO3 and its ecosystem.

Starting from February  until 10 March 2026, any member of the TYPO3 can nominate themselves for the vacant positions. Please use only the official nomination form to submit your nomination:
