Neos Marketing Sprint, July 2022

As one of the largest Neos CMS agencies, it’s very important to us to support the project’s continued development. In addition to development, however, marketing also plays a very significant role. We at punkt.de were represented at this year’s Neos Marketing Sprint.

In this post, you’ll learn what we did at the Neos Marketing Sprint.

Reading duration: approx. 1 Minutes

During the week of July 18–20, 2022, the Neos Marketing Sprint took place at Sebastian Helzle’s office in Rheinstetten, near Karlsruhe. Some members of the Neos Slack community also joined remotely. Sprints are very important because anyone can participate, even without extensive knowledge of Neos. Plus, they’re a great way to connect with the Neos community and meet wonderful new people.

There were several topics to cover, but two took center stage: the Neos website and the new Neos demo system.

The Neos CMS Website

Part of the sprint involved completing small tasks for the www.neos.io website. Among other things, we:

  • replaced the Google Forms with forms built using Neos and styled them
  • added a display of the awards won to the partner pages
  • made some improvements to the Marketplace
  • implemented minor bug fixes

The Neos Demo System

We’ve been brainstorming ideas for a new Neos demo system. The goal is to allow users to create a limited-access account in the demo instance. This will help them get to know Neos better and take a closer look at the Backend. Perhaps this will even spark interest in your next project. This demo resets automatically every Monday to ensure it remains clean and organized. Additionally, users should not be able to publish changes to the live site, for example.

Currently, the demo system is available in beta at https://demo.neos.io/.

How does punkt.de support the Neos project?

During the sprints, punkt.de assigns some of its employees from the consulting and development teams to participate in the sprints and supports the Neos project not only through direct financial support—such as providing refreshments for sprint participants or making donations—but also indirectly.

Conclusion

What I like most about the Neos Sprints, aside from the work itself, is getting together and chatting with other people from the Neos community. You’re welcomed with open arms right away. As the newest and youngest member of the Neos Core Team, I’ve also learned a lot about the workflow for resolving open Neos issues and how the Neos Core operates.
