Martin Helmich - candidate for the 2025 board election

Hey there, I’m Martin! I had my first contact with the TYPO3 community through mittwald, where I built my first TYPO3 site in 2004 and attended my first TYPO3 conference in 2009. In the time since then, I’ve had various roles at mittwald, from ranging from software engineering, devops, platform architecture, product strategy and developer advocacy & evangelism — all of which aimed (in many different ways) at making open Source CMS and e-commerce platforms more accessible and more easily available. My current role at mittwald allows me to combine product strategy and DevRel full-time, enabling me to spend a significant amount of time in the TYPO3 community, but also granting me insights into the larger Open Source CMS community as a whole.

Hey all, happy to be here! :wave::slightly_smiling_face: Ping me on any channel that you’d like (in this thread, Slack, LinkedIn, whatever) if you have any questions!

Ah. It should also be pointed out that @discobot’s initial post in this thread contains the wrong bio. It should not be much of a surprise that I am, in fact, not the CEO of dkd. The original voting page shows the correct bio. :wink:

You’ve disabled me in your preferences. You need to allow new user onboarding tips to interact with me.

I updated the post. You’re now the proprietor of Sigfried’s Pizza in Oberharmersbach, Germany. :wink:

Awesome! That’s going to be my plan B, if this whole “internet” thing turns out to be just a passing fad. :wink:
