At the Umbraco MVP Summit and Codegarden, Umbraco HQ introduced Umbraco.Automate, an event-driven automation engine. Inspired by its capabilities, Owain.Codes developed OC.Automate.Mastodon, a third-party package enabling automated blog sharing to Mastodon. The open-source project aims to expand with more connections, enhancing user workflows in Umbraco.
Owain Williams reflects on their seven-year journey as an Umbraco MVP, highlighting the evolution of the MVP application process and the community's supportive nature. They emphasize that the award should be a recognition of genuine contributions rather than a goal, encouraging others to engage passionately with the community.
