As content volumes increase, organizations need to take a much more industrialized, metrics-driven, and centralized approach to content. This requires changes in technology, processes, and mindsets across different parts of the organization. If done right, it also prepares companies to take advantage of AI automation opportunities.

Drupal, Joomla, TYPO3, and WordPress are organizing a one-day track at FOSDEM, in Brussels, 4 February 2024. Attend this free event to discuss, learn, and work on issues that affect FOSS CMS projects, from policy to development, security, and beyond.

In October 2023, TYPO3 attended a Drupal conference in Lille, France. This was an opportunity to strengthen our collaboration and learn more about a fellow open-source CMS — and maybe ourselves.

I joined the TYPO3 Community Sprint held in Düsseldorf 20–22 November 2023. This was my first time attending one of these events in person. Until now, my only experience was an online Community Sprint back in July. It was cool and kinda exciting to meet all these TYPO3 folks face-to-face.

Have you ever been in a meeting where suppressed anxiety clouds everything, even the leader’s judgment? Leaders without trained awareness, emotional literacy, and meaningful purpose are poor organizational healers and can hinder a healthy workplace culture from developing. T3CON23 opened with a keynote by award-winning business book author and leadership consultant Nicholas Janni under the title Leader as Healer.

Digital agencies have experienced market disruptions for decades. The ones that adapted to the changes were the ones that survived. Today, the digital market changes the rules again. What can digital agencies do to stay in the game and come out on top?

The focus of the Best Practices Team’s first code sprint was to work on open issues for the Tea extension. For me, it was the first official TYPO3 code sprint that I have ever attended — and it will not be my last.

The TYPO3 Camp Nantes was held on 6–8 October, 2023. It was my first time attending this camp and I was the only German participant. It was the smallest TYPO3 Camp I have ever been to — with about 25 participants — and it had the highest red wine-to-beer ratio of any camp that I have attended!

The Web Engineering Unconference (WEUC) held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, is an unconference about web technologies and performance. Limited to 100 attendees, this two day bar camp-style conference creates a family atmosphere for people to share their knowledge and experience.

The four-day event was the largest Drupal event in the USA in 2023. It included talks, workshops, all-day seminars, and ample time for contribution. Conferences like these are a great way to learn about other open source projects, how they organize their events and communities, solve their problems, and celebrate their successes.
