Community Initiatives
TYPO3 Business Control Committee
The TYPO3 project is predominantly funded by the TYPO3 Association in Switzerland. Membership fees are used to further develop the software and establish and support the community.
The task of the Business Control Committees (BCC) is to monitor the Association's work to ensure that it is in the interests of its members. This involves, among other things, reviewing and evaluating its expenditure and the success of teams and projects. As of 2022 the BCC is also responsible for organising and overseeing the annual selection process for projects to be supported. One of the BCC's main tasks is to increase transparency for members.
Ingo Schmitt has been a member of the BCC since 2011, and Chair since 2013.
Rhine-Ruhr TYPO3 camp (T3CRR)
The T3CRR is one of many barcamps focusing on TYPO3. It is held every year at the start of November, usually in the Unperfekthaus venue in Essen. In recent years, some 250 people have attended the camp. It was conducted as an online barcamp for the first time during 2021, the year of the coronavirus.
The Barcamp is organised by the TYPO3 User Group RhineRuhr e.V., with volunteers from the community making up the organising team. There are always a number of MFC employees who volunteer to help organise the TYPO3 camp alongside User Group Chair Ingo Schmitt. Marketing Factory is also a long-time Platinum Sponsor.
