The Umbraco Package One.

Who has the meetup.com password? - after a global pandemic has rendered the whole concept of meeting up regularly in a specific locality somewhat debunk and 'virtual' meetups have made it possible for you all to get your Umbraco fix from more interesting people in exotic locations such as London, Copenhagen and Leeds...

you may have wondered...

'what fate the legendary umbLiverpool?'...

... well, dear reader, fear not ...

Although, I've always thought of umbLiverpool as a virtual meetup... on account of it virtually never happening - we are going to have a go at a virtual meetup?

Why? well Umbraco HQ, are keen to maintain their regional outreach program, and V9 has launched, and although there are lots of the key packages available on V9, they wanted to shine a light on package development on V9...

... and well, ladies and gentlemen, Merseyside IS the home of Umbraco packages, with 35% of the most popular Umbraco 8 packages were made on Merseyside...

So we volunteered to help out, or Emma Burstow coerced us into it... (you decide).

"We're back and we're looking forward to hosting our next event - 'Merseyside: the home of the Umbraco package'. Join us for a live panel, bringing together package devs and Umbraco legends including Dan Booth (God Mode etc), Kevin Jump(uSync + Translation Manager etc), Matt Brailsford (Vendr, Konstrukt, etc) and Marc Goodson author of the famous uCssClassNameDropdown. Hosted by Emma Burstow, we hope to talk about Our years as package devs, the Umbraco ecosystem and what it is that makes Merseyside deserve the title.

Budding package developers, curious souls and Umbracians from all corners of the community can join us for learning, entertainment and a chance to ask their burning questions to the panel and other attendees. We'll also take the opportunity to catch up or to get to know you better."
