In June, Allen Smith celebrated 20 years of Codegarden, highlighting its welcoming Umbraco community, where nearly 40% of attendees were newcomers. Smith emphasizes the importance of mutual benefits in contributions and outlines various pathways for participation, encouraging individuals to explore their interests and connect with others in the community.
Umbraco is transitioning its aging community forum to Discourse, a modern, open-source platform, to enhance user experience and manage spam more effectively. While Discord will continue to serve for real-time chats and events, technical discussions will migrate to the new forum, allowing for better organization and searchability of content.
