These initiatives might also span over multiple versions like v9 & v10 - but it’s important to keep the focus on achieving and coming closer to the defined goals. Everyone is welcome to join an initiative and collaborate on making TYPO3 even better.

Benjamin Burse and Daniela Pohl created their first patches for the TYPO3 core, core team members Oliver Hader, Ralf Zimmermann and me supported the efforts - additionally our UX efforts were remotely supported by Rachel Foucard from France. A special thank you goes to Björn Jacob from [TRITUM ](https://www.tritum.de/)and Dirk Hildebrandt from [ internet + Design](https://www.i-d.de)  for organizing everything. ![](https://news.typo3.com/fileadmin/_processed_/3/1/csm_IMG_8674_6a533abc60.webp) **Want to join a sprint, too?** A code sprint is an event where developers meet to work on patches and reviews together. Usually between 5 and 20 people join forces in one place to code all-day-long. The events last 3-5 days and take place in various agencies around the globe - but not only developers from that agency are welcome, everybody is. Interested?
