Hey Neos Community!
While most people had October, there was a Hacktober in Dresden, as many people from the Neos community met at the Neos sprint in the Sandstorm offices. And Neos was presented in a great article / case study (German) by the Vogel Communications Group on IT-BUSINESS.de.
If you have ideas, feedback, or projects to share, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out anytime, especially via Slack in #guild-marketing.

Neos Foundation

- We updated the Neos foundation financials and current budget overview on discuss.neos.io to improve transparency on the budget available and how we are using it.
- Thanks to the increased funding this year from our sponsors and from the Neos Conference we were able to fund more work on new often requested Neos features and also were able to cover more time spent by core team members to do the necessary work on the Neos website, marketing, maintenance, updates and other topics.
