Initiatives consist of independently working teams, driving a specific research area or improvement forward. With initiatives it’s possible to simultaneously handle the development of several bigger topics spreading contribution over more people and therefor relieving the burden on mergers. Framework and component mergers as well as the strategy group have the task of coordinating and mentoring the development. Initiative topics will overlap and initiatives might profit from exchange between the teams. While the strategy group will foster this kind of exchanging in an ongoing effort, we decided to introduce a dedicated event, too: The TYPO3 Initiative Week - T3INIT19. The TYPO3 Initiative Week is a 7 day full-time event for active members of initiatives. For one week participants will come together in one location to exchange ideas, work diligently on pushing the product forward and have fun together away from the demands of daily business. ### When and where? T3INIT19 will take place from 20. - 27. October 2019 in Festenburg, Harz, Germany - the location known for the last T3UXW events. It’s organised by Petra Hasenau together with the TYPO3 Strategy group. **What about T3UXW?** We are changing the format of the User Experience Week into more focussed and smaller UX Sprints organised by the project UX lead, to ensure better integration with the current development schedule and coordination between our UX experts. If you are interested in working on UX topics, please contact Benjamin Kott directly or join a fitting initiative. - If you are a member of an active initiative, [register now](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/t3init19-tickets-58931208832)! - If you are interested in sponsoring, [look for your opportunity here](https://t3init19.typo3.com/sponsors). - If you want to join a fantastic event but you aren’t actively participating in an initiative: [Join one today, or start your own.](https://typo3.org/community/teams/typo3-development/initiatives/) Get even more info on our event website: [t3init19.typo3.com](https://t3init19.typo3.com) ![](https://news.typo3.com/typo3temp/assets/t3g/blog/gravatar/c16177e5d1052723ec4bf4860a2c6d36.jpeg) About the Author [Susanne Moog](https://news.typo3.com/article/author/susanne-moog) COO at TYPO3 GmbH,Jena, Germany [Website](https://susi.dev/)[Twitter](https://twitter.com/sasunegomo)[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanne-moog)[Xing](https://www.xing.com/profile/Susanne_Moog) Susanne has been part of the TYPO3 project for over ten years.
