Today’s episode of Application, the TYPO3 Community Podcast, features Volker Graubaum, the Chief Product Officer of TYPO3. Volker sees his role as CPO as being responsible for, as he puts it, “the product TYPO3.” We get into the idea of community software and a community product, his vision for serving the TYPO3 community, and how he is working with Benni Mack (and all of us) as a market tester and solution promoter, “to bring focus to further development.”

Silver, Gold, and Platinum members of the TYPO3 Association now receive credits and a free business account at SkillDisplay.eu to manage, track and verify internal skills and optimize preparation for certifications.

The version 10.4.15 of the TYPO3 Enterprise Content Management System has just been released.

Patrick Gaumond was elected to the Board with three reelected veterans. Daniel Fau and Edward Lenssen are joining veteran Ingo Schmitt in the Business Control Committee. Congratulations!

One of the goals of the TYPO3 Association is to safeguard our brand, TYPO3. We run an active program to advise community members about the usage of our brand, and take action when we see misuse of the trademark.

The aim of the TYPO3 International Mentorship Program is to expand the reach of TYPO3 CMS, to grow the community and market. The coordinating committee conducted a successful pilot program in 2020, supporting young web developers from five countries to make their first steps into the TYPO3 world.

This year, a special interest group was formed to update screenshots in the official TYPO3 documentation. Updating screenshots manually is tedious and boring. This article explains the really cool automatic solution we have devised, and we’re looking for people to help us make it even better.

Today we speak with Sybille Peters, a Germany-based developer who’s responsible for the web presence at the University of Oldenburg. She is also very active on the TYPO3 Community Documentation Team. We talk about the joys of open source community, contribution, and collaboration in the TYPO3 community, her favorite features TYPO3 has to offer, and improvements for developers in the future. Please note, there are small sound quality issues in this episode that we apologize for.

In 2020—we, as the Marketing Team—decided and announced that we wanted to focus on creating a variety of fact and figure-based materials, which should help agencies sell TYPO3 better. Our biggest project was to create the Comparison Cards, comparing TYPO3 to the most popular alternatives on the market.

The TYPO3 Documentation Team is continuously working on improving the TYPO3 documentation—keeping it up to date, finding new and better ways to document and—equally important—removing outdated information.
