Our tasks

Being a central contact point

The email address admin@typo3.org serves as the central point to get in contact with the persons in charge for administration of typo3.org servers and web sites. In case we are not responsible, we will delegate your email to the persons in charge. We make use of OTRS as trouble ticket system for this job.

Server Administration

We manage all applications and services within the TYPO3 universe. If you as a TYPO3 team, or as a single person, want to offer a service to the TYPO3 community, please get in touch with us to offer you some web space or an entire virtual machine for your project.

Open Source

We aim to openly publish all our work transparently. Apart from security related tasks, our current workload can be followed on our GitLab team board, and all technical configurations are stored in their respective service repository.

Used Software

Among others, the following Open Source projects are currently used by us: 

• Debian Linux
• Discourse
• CodiMD
• Gerrit
• GitLab
• Mailcow, see rules for email addresses
• MariaDB
• Matomo
• nginx
• OpenLDAP
• OTOBO
• PHP
• Redmine
• Solr
• TYPO3

Technical details can be found in the corresponding service repository.

How to become a team member

We are open for new members! It doesn’t matter if you are more interested in administrating operating systems or some of the official web sites, but you shouldn't be afraid of devops basics (Configuration Management, Monitoring). Please get in touch with us, if you are interested to work with us!

Leaving the team

If you do not contribute for more then three month, the Team Leader can decide to remove you from the team. Please note, that you are then not longer allowed to use any title related to this team.

Mail server settings

Thanks to the email autodiscover mechanism, common clients should pick up their settings by providing just username and password. If you have to configure your account manually, use the settings below:

• Username: your full email address (firstname.lastname@typo3.org)
• Incoming server: IMAP, host mail.typo3.org, SSL port 993
• Outgoing server: SMTP (with authentication), host mail.typo3.org, SSL port 465
• Webmail and configuration: mail.typo3.org

Redirects

To redirect @typo3.org mails to another address, log into webmail and create a forwarding (Preferences > Mail > Forward).
