TYPO3 Association Election 2023

What is this Election About?

In 2023 four 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:

• Oliver Dobberkau
• Petra Hasenau
• Peter Kraume
• Patrick Gaumond

In the Business Control Committee:

• Edward Lensen
• Daniel Fau (already retired in December 2022)

The Board takes care of the vision 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 up to four hours per week. For the BCC, it's one to 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.

Feel like you can’t commit to the time required? Don’t be deterred. Everyone has to start somewhere, and new members will be assisted to ramp up in small steps according to their own availability. The more experienced members will help you learn the ropes and get familiar with the position.

Starting from 12 February until 14 March 2023, anyone can nominate themselves for the vacant positions. Please use only the official nomination form to submit your nomination:
