April’s edition features a new Association board, spring events, announcing the TYPO3 conference, updates of community budget projects, and inviting every TYPO3 enthusiast to connect, contribute, and celebrate our CMS’s ever-growing open-source heartbeat together.

The TYPO3 Best Practices Team gathered for another Remote Day. This time Bernd Sengupta and Eike Starkmann joined the team members Oliver Klee and Daniel Siepmann. We focused on some long-standing issues with the Tea Example (tea) extension, as well as TYPO3 v13 compatibility.

In his talk at T3CON24, Janus Boye shared the challenges open source content management systems (CMS) face in the present and future- and how we can adapt.

Each month, we celebrate TYPO3 contributors in our Developer Appreciation Day post. Please take a moment to share gratitude for their continued passion and time.
