The 2024 TYPO3 Awards Gala and the 16th TYPO3 Conference are approaching at the end of this fall. The TYPO3 Project is excited to introduce this year's distinguished jury members, who will be evaluating TYPO3 projects across 15 competitive categories.

The call for community budget ideas for the fourth quarter of 2024 was successful again: 9 of 14 ideas have made it to the poll. The ideas can now be discussed and TYPO3 Association members can cast their vote.

When we first planned the TYPO3 ACL (Access Control List) improvements back in 2023, we split them into four parts. The first part was delivered in Q1/2024. It provided documentation with best practices on how to set ACLs in TYPO3 and a command to automatically generate default backend user groups with required permissions already set.

TYPO3 attended the conference for the second time and we made many new connections at our popular booth. Our focus on governance, digital sovereignty, and digital infrastructure in the Global South is creating much interest.
