In-person events: the ultimate OSS contribution?

Conferences, meetups, coding retreats … we discuss all sorts of in-person events and why they’re so important for a healthy community. Organising them is a lot of work, but perhaps this type of open source contribution is the most valuable... We're delighted to have been joined by Cat Todd from Gibe Digital, and we talk about her recent experience of putting on the excellent Umbraco Spark conference. We also discuss the 3 day Umbraco developer ‘unconference’ CODECABIN and why you should get your application in before the deadline of July 7th. Join us to hear all this plus chat about tulip colours, fist-pumps and - hurray - another Laura analogy!
