Join us in improving our community management

The TYPO3 Association wants to improve our way of doing community management. For that we invite everyone, from inside and outside our TYPO3 community to send in ideas, concepts and out-of-the-box solutions of how community management should be for the next 5 years. Consider this an alternative job application, since the best idea will be selected to do the job.

TYPO3 Association seeks Executive Secretary

Each organisation renews itself after a while. The TYPO3 Association was born almost 10 years ago and a lot has changed. Not only the amount of people working with TYPO3, but also the way we foster the TYPO3 Community. Last year the Expert Advisory Board and the Board started out on a journey to look for ways to better our organisation, and to strengthen our vision for the future of the TYPO3 Association.
