TYPO3 Association Election 2024

What is this Election About?

In 2024 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:

  • Boris Hinzer
  • Stefan Busemann
  • Rachel Foucard
  • Mathias Bolt Lesniak

In the Business Control Committee:

  • Ingo Schmitt
  • Jochen Weiland

For one position in the Board election  no candidate was found. As defined in our by-laws the Board needs to have at least six members. With this election, the Board will shrink from eight to seven members. So only three postions are up for vote now.

What Does the Work on the Board and the BCC Entail?

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 at least four hours per week. For the BCC, it's at least two hours per week.

Why You Should Nominate Yourself

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.
