    Last week we met with a group of more than 40 members of the core and security team plus additional active members of the community for the TYPO3 Codesprint Berlin.

    Ten years ago, I'd never have thought that an Open Source project could give me enough fuel to stay for such a long time. And although being part of it can require a lot of energy at times, it was certainly the friendly community which made me eventually quit my old job and dive into TYPO3 completely. Diversity and common value is what drives us ahead personally and in the end also TYPO3.
