For many years I've been one of the developers of TYPO3 Rector. When I heard about the call for funds for community projects at the end of last year, I applied. Thanks to the TYPO3 community, my proposal to write at least ten new Rector rules got accepted and the funds were approved.

The UX Team helps to improve and maintain the TYPO3 User Experience. The main goal of this team is to work on UX improvements for TYPO3 existing features and also to collaborate on building any new feature during the concept process if help is wanted.

TYPO3 Conference 2024 will be held between Tuesday 26th and Thursday 28th November 2024. The TYPO3 Award Ceremony will be held on the closing night of 28th.
