André Richter - candidate for the 2025 board election

When I founded my first company back in 2000, I was already convinced that a powerful tool is needed for managing content. In 2004, I got in touch with TYPO3 for the first time, and — although the CMS wasn't as cool as today — the system convinced me in a glimpse. Since then, we used the software for quite a lot of websites, and I found myself engaging more and more in the community. I love to talk to different kind of people, either at the events or when speaking to prospects. I am a member of the marketing team, and one of the hosts of the Berlin TYPO3-camp. In both roles I benefit from my studies in media and informatics where I had the chance to speak in front of many people.

Hi,

I indeed have some questions about topics I find important:

I’d really appreciate if you took the time to answer these questions (or some of them, depending on which topics you find important). Thanks!

Contributing to the TYPO3 Board is a significant responsibility, demanding an average of 0.5 to 1 day per week. This involves (list is not complete and not sorted by amount of work):

  • Regular board meetings
  • Virtual and in person meetings with teams and groups
  • Quartarly multi day in person meetings with the board
  • Attendance at key TYPO3 events
  • Actual board-related work

Do you have the ressources to fullfill this?

Hi Ingo,

sorry for answering so late. I’m pretty much aware of the amount of time. Since I already work in the marketing committee, and attend a lot of meetings regarding TYPO3, it will be more like a shift of time. At the TYPO3 camp in Jena I had the chance to talk to some of the board members, I think I got a better picture of what ressources are needed. I have the ressources to fulfill this.

Best regards,
André
