It's been an exciting April for Umbraco Meetup organisers and attendees - come and see why!

April’s Meetups 

Filip and Kristian are sitting on two bright yellow chairs. Filip is answering a question from the audience, while Kristian listens on.
 

H5YR to Paul Seal and the first Umbracalong!

Paul Seal hosted his very first meetup this month; Umbracalong First Event. The Umbracalong group is a bit untraditional in the sense that the format doesn't centre standard talks, but hands-on work, where each member can work on their individual project. Here's what Paul has to say about the meetup:

"The meetup was a success! There were around 9 people online the whole time and we stayed on for 2,5 hours. We were chatting all night about all sorts of topics whilst we worked on our projects. Every now and then someone would share their screen to show what they were working on or to give examples of what they were talking about. Several people used it as a chance to get help with something they were stuck on. "
