TYPO3 Newsletter - June 2020

Welcome to the new issue of the TYPO3 Newsletter. Here you will find news and interesting facts from the TYPO3 universe.

A lot has happened in the TYPO3 world again in June. We are still living in the middle of a pandemic, but many things have now adapted more or less well to this situation. Even though the easing of restrictions over the past few weeks has made it possible to hold meetings in "real life" again, some things are still being held completely or partially online.

For example, the meetings of the various TYPO3 teams, which of course continue to work on improving our favorite CMS. The redesigned TYPO3 store has also been adapted and now also has a very stylish TYPO3 mouth and nose protector in its range. But the highlight of the month is certainly that all TYPO3 certifications can now be carried out online.

I was able to find a lot of tips & tricks in June, some of which are listed here in the newsletter. I would particularly like to mention the Nitsan agency team around Sanjay Chauhan. They alone wrote 14(!!) interesting and extensive articles on TYPO3 in June. I couldn't include them all in the newsletter, otherwise there would have been no room left for other articles. But I can recommend you to take a look at the website from time to time.

A number of events will also be taking place again soon, for example user group meetings or the "TYPO3 Online Community Event". These events offer everyone the opportunity to take part, no matter where they are on the planet. We have even had participants from India at the TYPO3 Usergroup Bodensee meetings.

Finally, please let us know once again:
If YOU know of an interesting article or extension that should be mentioned in our newsletter, please let us know! You can find out how to do this at the end of this newsletter.

So, enough chatter, now I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter!

Best wishes and stay healthy!

Wolfgang Wagner and the jweiland.net team
