The Umbraco CMS community is one of a kind ❤️ Not only is it the friendliest community, but it also consists of some of the most dedicated and talented Umbracians 🙌 And this year, we’ve introduced you to 13 of these lovely people.

The year is coming to an end, and last week we got to publish the last uProfile of 2019. It’s with enormous joy and honour that we each month got to share a unique Umbraco story written by one of our many dedicated community members.

Each uProfiler has been asked more or less the same questions, but as you’ll discover in a minute, each of them has their own story to tell! 

Some of them are newbies, others are “seasoned” Umbracians, but each and every one of them has their own experiences, favourite moments and interests which all highlight different aspects of what it means to be a part of such a diverse community! 

We’re sending out our biggest SuperTak’s and H5YR to all 2019 uProfiles. 

Now, if you missed any of these, this is your chance to catch up, as we’ve collected them all for you. Happy reading 🕶

12 awesome months - 13 wonderful stories - H5YR ❤💙

So how about 2020?

Well, we know our community is bursting with talented and dedicated people ready to share their Umbraco stories, so we will, of course, continue! 

Do you know someone who would be perfect as a uProfile (maybe even yourself 😉 )? Then go to Our and find a description of what it takes and how you're able to nominate a uProfile candidate who you think deserves to be given some spotlight due to their Umbraco journey or difference they make in the Umbraco community 🙌

Loved by developers, used by thousands around the world!

One of the biggest benefits of using Umbraco is that we have the friendliest Open Source community on this planet. A community that's incredibly pro-active, extremely talented and helpful.

If you get an idea for something you would like to build in Umbraco, chances are that someone has already built it. And if you have a question, are looking for documentation or need friendly advice, go ahead and ask on the community forums.
