TYPO3 Talk with Karen: Data Protection Officer

I am happily married, have two wonderful children who live in Cologne and Lake Louise (CA).

In 2006 clients wanted to make a website with me and insisted on TYPO3, so I had to learn it.  Which was only for my best

Through branding and I see myself as a TYPO3 Influencer. I am involved in the organization of the TYPO3 CampRheinRuhr.  I lack resources for the work in the many TYPO3 teams. If I hear in Slack that I can contribute my know-how to the community, I do this of course.

Important is the enthusiasm of TYPO3. If you don't know it, you should take the time to have a look at TYPO3 or have it shown to you, then the enthusiasm will come by itself. Of course I don't mean that everything is easy. There are enough to cut your teeth on programming, but there are a lot of people in the community who help you. In return you have a solid website on the foundation of TYPO3.

I have small companies, schools and sports clubs as customers.  During conversations I talk enthusiastically about the clear structure e.g. in the TYPO3 page tree and the many innovations for editors. A convincing argument is, you can start small and no matter how the company develops, you can add a lot in TYPO3 and turn it into a large project.  TYPO3 allows "almost" everything.   

I think everyone involved has a wonderful hand for the right changes or conversions from TYPO3 version to version. When I think of the TYPO3 version from 2006, I am even more pleased today, what TYPO3 can do and how user-friendly it has become for editors.

I can't say much about that. However, I could imagine that user-friendliness and accessibility are also in focus.

Did we miss anything? I experience it more like this, when people want a good and stable website, they look for TYPO3 programmers. The branding TYPO3 makes advertising for me and I possibly still convince myself of something with my enthusiasm.  

In addition, from a data protection point of view, especially with WordPress, very much must be regulated via a plugin. That's why WordPress is very much in the focus of the data protection authorities. Because TYPO3 core contains many functions and is monitored at security sprints, there were not the large area audits for TYPO3 websites so far. In addition, although few, but among them many very large websites are created with TYPO3. 

I think I'm too blinded for that question.  Probably it is the training and I know that my start was also harder.  Whereas there are now great video tutorials for this, I did not have them in 2006 :-(

I think the global expansion is great. In December, there was an online one-day event: brilliant. From Australia, India, Europe, Africa to America, participants and speakers were there from morning to night. Keep it up. A big thank you to Daniel Homorodean, who organized and carried out the t3imd with his team.

The offer extends the usability of TYPO3, especially for people who don't know TYPO3 from scratch and can enjoy the solid TYPO3 foundation with a theme.

In addition, the variety of themes shows that everything is possible. A great way to make TYPO3 more visible.

This has not played a role with my customers.

The fact that the core includes many functions actually plays a role in Europe. Then the extensions whether news, store or whatever functions are also needed. Also own extensions, only for the customer. Of course, the multisite and multilingual functions are very, very important.

I know the team sizes, but I can't judge from the outside whether an even larger team can still work efficiently. I think if the team members need support this can be spread into the community via Slack or a newsletter.

Take care of social media or privacy clients at work. But besides work there is also the private and there I love working in the garden and harvesting vegetables, herbs...
