October 2024: Developer Appreciation Day (DAD)

As October has given way to November 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:

• 52 contributors
• 31 patch authors
• 246 reviews (1 feature, 90 bugfixes, 138 tasks)
• 17 documentation improvers
• 10 TYPO3.org contributors (21 issues, 14 merge requests)

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 people involved in the our open source project–people 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 contribution to make a difference! Stay tuned for November’s recap that we’ll be publishing on somewhen next month.
