Release Team for TYPO3 version 4.5
At the core team meeting in Elmshorn the new release team was formed.
Month of the Phoenix
May was the month of the first sprint of TYPO3 Phoenix, the new next gen CMS, currently under development. May also saw the special General Assembly where we changed the bylaws of the TYPO3 Association. From the last General Assembly onward we now have three extra people under contract of the TYPO3 Association. To continue and even speed up the development more funds are needed and some initiatives are in the works to finance this.
April 2010
April started with a fresh new focus on the TYPO3 project. The first sprint for TYPO3 Phoenix was started, lots of work is in progress for TYPO3 version 4.4, the month was closed with the revived bug days and it was my first full month as TYPO3 Product Manager and Chairman of the Steering Committee.

Google Summer of Code 2010 application accepted
This last week the projects for GSoC 2010 were announced and TYPO3's application for Google Summer of Code was amongst the accepted projects. We are again participating and have already determined ways on how to improve the experience of working with the TYPO3 community. We already got quite a number of student applications, but are keen on also having you on board.
