CMS Kickoff is an international conference dedicated to the global CMS community. It is one of multiple annual digital leadership conferences organized by Danish internet entrepreneur Janus Boye and Boye & co. The event prides itself on bringing “together top-notch speakers, our renowned learning format, and engaging social events,” and asks you to “picture this event as a unique blend of masterclasses, insightful talks, interactive discussions, impactful learning sessions, and authentic networking opportunities.”

TYPO3 is a member of Boye & co’s CMS Experts group. This is a forum where CMS analysts, thinkers, practitioners, experts, and vendors meet to discuss and share thoughts and ideas. For TYPO3, CMS Kickoff is a chance to begin the year with an in-person experience and a chance to reflect on recent trends and hear stories from a diverse CMS community.

Benni Mack, leader of the TYPO3 Core Team, will attend the event.

The EU Open Source Policy Summit calls itself “the world’s largest assembly of policymakers, Open Source businesses, community members, developers, foundations, and experts engaged in diverse digital policy matters”. Even though it takes place in, Brussels, Belgium — in many ways the center of European politics — the conference attracts international representation and is marketed as “the only global conference of its kind”.

OpenForum Europe (OFE) is the event organizer. Founded in 2002, OFE is a Brussels-based not-for-profit, independent think tank, the organization works to “explain the merits of openness in computing to policy makers and communities across Europe”. It works with the European Commission, the European Parliament, and national and local governments.

TYPO3 is joining this event as a bronze sponsor. Open source policy is increasingly important for our free and open-source (FOSS) CMS. This led to our participation in awareness campaigns, such as the open letter to the EU regarding the Cyber Resilience Act and collaboration with other FOSS CMS projects. TYPO3 Association Board member Mathias Bolt Lesniak will be present at the event.

Event participation is free and can be attended online. You can choose to request a spot at the onsite event during registration.

FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels, Belgium.

On Sunday 4th February, this devroom will be filled with talks and opportunities to discuss, learn, and work on issues that affect FOSS CMS projects, from policy to development, security, and beyond.
