Here are some examples of professions you might find in an agency, and how people might find exciting ways to contribute in the TYPO3 community:

  • Marketers will expand their knowledge of TYPO3’s unique selling points.
  • Salespeople will learn more about how TYPO3 creates value for the clients.
  • Project managers can increase their understanding of solutions and best practices.
  • Content publishers will learn how to best optimize their publication workflow.
  • Testers can share their experience and help the CMS meet their needs.
  • Designers and UX professionals get a chance to make TYPO3 look and feel just right.
  • Support teams can learn how others solve problems and the best ways to debug TYPO3.
  • Accountants can increase transparency and optimize spending for the association.
  • Managers can teach effective leadership and facilitation skills.

A little while ago, I asked for quotes from TYPO3 community members on Twitter. Their responses reflect a lot of what I believe to be true, and I think it reflects the views of many people in the open source CMS business. I have included some of them here.
