All budget proposals must align with the goal, ***Strengthen the project***. Submit your idea before 31 December 2022. Decisions will be announced at the end of January 2023. About The TYPO3 Budget ---------------------- The Business Control Committee (BCC) is in charge of the budget. Traditionally, the TYPO3 Association annual budget is made up of membership fees plus any additional funding from the Association reserve (made up of membership entrance fees). The budget for 2023 will be the income from membership fees plus any remaining budget not spent in 2022. The forecast income from membership fees will fund existing teams and cover the costs of running the Association. Any remaining funds will be invested in budget ideas from the community. We are aware that last year's call for budget ideas did not run as smoothly as we had wished. We learned from that experience and have implemented a number of changes. We’re striving for a better and faster budget approval process this time around. The 2023 Budget Goal: Strengthen The Project -------------------------------------------- Rather than granting “money requests”, we want to work with you to connect all budget ideas with an existing TYPO3 initiative, team, or individual so that we can fund efforts that support our goals. Last year, the budget ideas focussed on the goal *to foster and grow the TYPO3 community and number of TYPO3 Association members*. For 2023, the goal set by the Board of the TYPO3 Association is ***Strengthen the project***. We are looking for ideas to increase the resources for our project, and this includes more members, more contributors, more funds, and more sustainability. We invite you as a member of the TYPO3 Association to brainstorm project ideas to contribute to this overall goal. The more a budget request aligns with the goal, the more likely funding will be granted. Submit Your Budget Idea ----------------------- Use the [Idea Submission—T3A Budget 2023](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0RLkAdedultNNdu8Y5GR9Ck5ch8xRDSw1XiTWbFtYJXhf5Q/viewform?usp=sf_link) form to submit your idea. We will read your submission carefully, and come back with questions and suggestions on how to proceed to get your idea up and running in 2023. Submissions are open until **31 December 2022**. The members' poll on the ideas will be held in January, and decisions announced at the end of January 2023.

Since then, my involvement with TYPO3 has grown steadily, both professionally and as a volunteer in the community. Over the years I’ve worked on many TYPO3 projects for customers and participated in various community activities.I have served on the TYPO3 Business Control Committee (BCC) since 2011. In this role I help oversee the finances of the TYPO3 Association and contribute to transparent processes that align association activities with the interests and decisions of its members.I’m also one of the organizers and Chairman of TYPO3Camp RheinRuhr and part of the TYPO3 User Group RheinRuhr e.V. We host an annual unconference and regular meetups throughout the year, bringing together TYPO3 users, developers, and enthusiasts from the region.A topic I’m especially interested in is Community Ideas. It enables members to submit proposals, vote on them, and actively shape what gets funded by the TYPO3 Association. I’m motivated to further increase member engagement, both in contributing ideas and in participating in community decisions.In my day job I’m managing partner at Marketing Factory (Düsseldorf), where I focus on digital projects, long-term customer relationships, and organizational development. We also contribute back to the TYPO3 ecosystem by maintaining free extensions and sharing practical insights on our blog.Outside of TYPO3 I enjoy sailing in the summer and ice hockey in the winter.Feel free to connect!
