March 2018: Developer Appreciation Day (DAD)

As March has given way to April, 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:

• 76 contributors

• 53 patch authors

• 330 reviews (13 features, 105 bugfixes, 212 tasks)

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.

Your contributions are the foundation of the TYPO3 open source platform - thank you!

This month, a special thank you goes to Jörg Bösche, Steffen Frese, Tobias Kretschmann, Sybille Peters, Stephan Jorek, Stephan Großberndt, Daniel Goerz, Mathias Brodala, Alexander Schnitzler, Michael Oehlhof, Guido Schmechel, Kevin Appelt, Patricia Tiedemann, Mathias Schreiber, Benjamin Franzke, Sascha Maier, Stefan Frömken, Wolfgang Klinger, Simon Gilli, Romain Canon, Anja Leichsenring, Łukasz Uznański, Paweł Rogowicz, Oliver Klee, Robert Wildling, Alexander Stehlik, Manuel Selbach, Sascha Löffler, Pawel Cieslik, Ralf Zimmermann, Björn Jacob, Daniel Lorenz, Saskia Schreiber, René Pflamm, Hendrik Stender, Josef Glatz, Pascal Rinker, Wolfgang Wagner, Jurian Janssen, Marcus Schwemer, Felix Buenemann, Christian Heindl, Sascha Rademacher, Mona Muzaffar, Christian Toffolo, Philipp Gampe, Oskar Dydo, Sascha Egerer, Joonas Kauhanen, Claus Due, Michael Stucki, Sven Burkert, Paul Golmann, Kevin Ditscheid and Daniel Gorges for your ongoing dedicated work.

All of your contributions, reviews, testing and reports on issues are highly appreciated. They’re what make TYPO3 into such a powerful and stable software solution.

We’d also like to thank the following core team members for their ongoing committed support and faithful collaboration: Nicole Cordes, Alexander Opitz, Stefan Neufeind, Frank Nägler, Christian Kuhn, Georg Ringer, Andreas Fernandez, Tymoteusz Motylewski, Frans Saris, Jigal van Hemert, Riccardo De Contardi, Susanne Moog, Benni Mack, Markus Klein, Jan Helke, Oliver Hader, Andreas Wolf, Wouter Wolters, Benjamin Kott and Helmut Hummel.

For many developers, programming is a labor of love and you’ll spend many hours programming away from work. But a day only has 24 hours. We highly appreciate all of the employers who support the TYPO3 open source project by giving you time off work. Without their generous support, TYPO3 wouldn’t be where it is today. Does your employer give you time off work to contribute towards TYPO3’s core? Contact us so we can get your company listed here!

We’re grateful to have so many developers involved in our open source project–developers who believe in bringing good ideas to life, and who are truly passionate about our powerhouse content management system TYPO3. Remember: all it takes is a single patch to make a difference! Stay tuned for April’s recap that we’ll be publishing on somewhen next month.
