For us, TYPO3 is not just a system. It is part of a large ecosystem that is supported by an active community. Anyone who works with TYPO3 on a daily basis knows that stability, further development and lively communities don't just happen by themselves.
A good community is created when people take responsibility. That's why Jens Krumm is running for the board of the TYPO3 Association.
Not for a title. But out of a deep connection and commitment to the TYPO3 community.
It's about the substance
The TYPO3 Association creates the organizational framework for the community and the TYPO3 product. Decisions made there influence key issues for everyone who works with TYPO3:
- What priorities are set in the product roadmap?
- How are certifications developing?
- How visible are partners in the market?
- How strong are the community, events and international groups?
When people like Jens from the daily TYPO3 practice are represented on the board, decisions are made that remain close to the community and its real requirements.
This benefits everyone who uses, develops or works with TYPO3.
Part of the community
Jens Krumm is a real TYPO3 veteran and has been part of the TYPO3 community for many years. He supports TYPO3 events, is involved in the exchange with international communities and is particularly committed to making TYPO3 internationally visible.
As CEO of +Pluswerk, he has been working in the digital technology environment since the 1990s and is now responsible for teams in several European countries. He would now like to contribute the organizational experience he has gained to the TYPO3 Association.
