[TYPO3-dev] New opportunities with sponsored projects

[Francois Suter]

Dear Developers,

As you saw if you also subscribe to the Announce list, we just launched 
today the first sponsored projects. If you don't know what we're talking 
about, you can catch up with the news posted on news.typo3.org. 
Basically sponsored projects are Core TYPO3 v4 projects with 
well-defined goals for which we will try to raise in money in order to 
actually pay the developers for their work. This form of support should 
help accelerate the development of TYPO3.

The best thing is that you can be part of this. Sponsored projects aim 
for a greater involvement of the community. Refer to [1] for more 
information. See also [2] for a more personal view of how you can 
participate in sponsored projects and what you can gain from them.

So reach for your wallet! Alternately if you prefer getting your hands 
dirty there are currently two open positions, both for the New FORM 
project. We are looking for a developer who would also act as backup 
project leader to Patrick Broens and an additional reviewer. Please 
refer to [3] for more details.

We hope you will find these opportunities as exciting as we do.
