Umbraco London April: Blocks, Bellissima and GitHub Actions

Join other Umbraco folks for an in-person evening of knowledge sharing, project updates and conversation!

AGENDA

A GitHub Actions-Centric Approach to Deployments - Matthew Hart
Matt will be giving us a preview of his Codegarden talk covering all things GitHub Actions: running concurrent jobs, Linux vs Windows, automation, custom tasks, and more!

Block to Basics - Callum Whyte
Callum will share his approach to building block list & grid based layouts for large Umbraco sites, with some key principles to follow for a great editor experience.

Plus Lotte Pitcher, Developer Advocate at Umbraco, will be giving us a progress update on the new major release on the horizon, Umbraco v14 aka Bellissima.

HOSTS
Novicell - an Umbraco Gold Partner and Cloud Powerhouse - have kindly agreed to host us for the evening, and provide refreshments, in their offices in Shoreditch. If you think you will be making it, please RSVP as soon as you can to help us manage numbers.

NEWCOMER?
If you have not been to one of our meetups before, you will find us a friendly bunch. Please seek out the designated host(s) of the event so we can welcome you on arrival, and introduce you to other attendees.

GETTING THERE
Novicell's offices are 21-33 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3EJ in a building called Fora, approximately an 8 min walk from Liverpool St and Old St stations. If you arrive between 6:30 and 7pm there will be someone to meet you in reception with instructions. If you have any issues getting in please post a comment on the meetup page, we shall keep an eye out!

We aim to finish around 9pm but if the conversations are still flowing then we can relocate to a nearby pub.
