CloudFest Hackathon is three days of coding, collaboration, and creativity. The organizers call it “a blend of learning, networking, and impact.” The event takes place in the days preceeding Cloudfest, a major international internet infrastructure event that is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

TYPO3 Core Team Lead Benni Mack joins team members Christian Kuhn, Oliver Bartsch, and Stefan Bürk together with experienced TYPO3 core contributor Jochen Roth. Together with developers from other CMSs, they will work on a CMS Health Check that will “collect, analyze, and provide additional data from websites with a better understanding of their health to the respective operator” as an addition to traditional uptime monitoring.

Their participation costs are covered by the Hackathon organizers, while TYPO3 covers travel costs. The hackathon is still looking for more sponsors, presenting a agreat opportunity for willing TYPO3 agencies to contribute to the collaborative effort.

TYPO3 is a PHP-based open-source CMS, just like Drupal. The structure and backend experience differs, but, under the hood, our two communities solve web publishing and content management with similar tools and third-party dependencies. DrupalCon is a place to meet, exchange ideas, and discuss solutions to the challenges faced by open source software today.

DrupalCon Portland is the biggest open-source event in North America in 2024. The conference features many tracks and numerous sessions over four days, 6–9 May.

The Drupal Association is the event organizer, and the event will be an opportunity to strengthen the collaboration in the Open Website Alliance, where the TYPO3 Association is also a member.

Mathias Bolt Lesniak, TYPO3's project ambassador, will be present at the conference and host the session Drupal and FOSS CMS Collaboration in a Competitive Market.

You’re Invited: Join Our Remote Sprint!

The Best Practices Team's inaugural remote sprint is happening on 7 May 2024. We'll meet on Slack for a day of general housework and working through our backlog.

While we may not complete all our goals, this sprint is an excellent opportunity to learn and collaborate. If you are a newcomer to TYPO3 development, come along to gain insights into teamwork, GitHub, bug resolution, and automated testing.

When

The sprint will take place on 7 May 2024. We’ll kick off at 9am (UTC) and we plan to finish at 3pm (UTC).

Where

The sprint is fully remote. We’ll meet in the TYPO3 Slack Channel, #best-practice-team

Come prepared, we have collected all preparation steps at our GitHub Wiki.

What

Daniel Siepmann will host the sprint. We’ll start with a quick check-in of participants, make sure everyone is set for success, then we’ll distribute the tasks among the attendees. If you’re a newcomer, there will be people to support you and answer questions.

We plan to work on these topics in the following order:

  1. Continue with the tasks that got started during the last sprint
  2. Finish the open runTests.sh tasks
  3. Work on 13.x support
  4. Do the other breaking changes

We probably won't complete all the goals, so the remaining tasks will be carried over to future work and sprints.

Your Benefits

Whether you are an experienced TYPO3 developer, or new to the CMS, there is always something to learn. Come along to this sprint and get real-world experience working with focus inside a team on an open published extension.

Participants of this sprint will learn-by-doing, in particular:

  • Using GitHub as a Git hosting and CI platform.
  • How to catch and fix bugs, covered by tests.
  • Best practices for extension development.
  • Fast end-to-end tests via TYPO3 testing framework functional tests.

You Can Meet:

  • Daniel Siepmann
  • Oliver Klee
