A ROADMAP FOR MODX

A ROADMAP FOR MODX

It’s not easy to lead a big, international community. That’s something we know all to well at MODX. There’s no lack of great ideas and developments but it’s sometimes quite difficult to make sure this is all regulated in the best way. But that’s going to change, because as of now, we’ve created the MODX Advisory Board. Thanks to this Advisory Board, there will be a clear structure in the processes at MODX, as well as a roadmap for the future.

Structure

At Sterc, we’re closely involved in the development of MODX. This also means a very close connection to the international MODX community, that regularly comes together to talk about developments and the future. During the MODX meetup in Munich, last november, it was decided to give these talks more structure. The plan was extended in Minsk and after that, the MODX Advisory Board was created, which could count on great support of the community.


Roadmap

The Advisory Board doesn’t only advise MODX but also the community working on MODX. The entire community now has a central place where they can leave their ideas and recommendations, which will be tested by the Board. Now, everyone knows what they can do with their creativity. The Board also makes sure MODX places the focus more on useability, instead of just working on backend development. This will create a better balance.


A ‘Sterc’ chairman

The Advisory Board is great news for MODX. Clear guidance in the creative process makes sure everyone involved has a good view on what’s going on, what’s going to come and what the fruits of their labours are. Sterc will obviously take its responsability in this and delivers the Chairman with Gauke Pieter Sietzema. Christian Seel - an important figure within MODX, with a vast international experience - will be the Vice Chairman. With this, nothing will stand in the way of a great roadmap.

How it’s set up

The Advisory Board from MODX contains twelve members of the MODX community and three members of the MODX Leadership. The current planning runs for six months, after which there will be a vote for new members. Those new members will stay on for twelve months. The complete Board will exist of:

  • A maximum of 3 contributors, whose knowlegde of code will be of great value;
  • A maximum of 3 members of digital agencies, who will be developing websites and have lots of client contact;
  • A maximum of 3 vendors, who sell MODX products;
  • A maximum of 3 freelancers, developers or contributors to agencies that work with MODX on a daily basis.

All meetings will be attended by either the president or vice president. These will be chosen by members of the Advisory Board.


‘A great development’

According to chairman Gauke Pieter Sietzema, the creation of the Advisory Board is extremely valuable. “It’s a great development for MODX”, he stated. “All the enthusiasm of the international MODX community will now be structured and lead in the right direction. This means we’ll get to the best possible product and every MODX user will enjoy this great CMS even more.”
