August 2020: Developer Appreciation Day (DAD)

As August has given way to September it’s time to reflect on what the past month has brought us. Recapping the evaluation of our most recent contributions to the TYPO3 core, we find some remarkable numbers. You guys are truly amazing!

Last month we had altogether:

• 68 contributors
• 32 patch authors
• 145 reviews (88 bugfixes, 56 tasks)
• 13 documentation improvers
• 12 TYPO3.org contributors (28 issues, 40 merge requests)

We could not accomplish our goals without the support, involvement and engagement of all you dedicated developers who contribute towards the TYPO3 project. It’s important to us that you all know just how much we appreciate your work.
