All four of us were together in-person - for the first time over two years - at Umbraco in the City, a community-organised event in Manchester. We talked about what contributions look like to a mature open-source product with a team of full time engineers working on the codebase. Are code contributions still the “gold-standard”, were they ever? We discuss this and what other types of contrubitions make a meaningful difference to the Umbraco CMS in front of a wonderful live audience.<br />Thanks to our guests - Michael Latouche, Paul Seal and our new best friend Kieron McIntyre - for taking the microphone and sharing their contribution stories.<br />High five to them and the audience, we had a lot of fun! <br /><br /><b>Links</b><ul><li><a href="https://www.umbracointhe.city/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Umbraco in the City</a></li><li><a href="https://community.umbraco.com/learn-about-the-community/community-teams/the-core-collaborators/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Core collabs team page</a></li><li><a href="https://our.umbraco.com/packages/starter-kits/clean-starter-kit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paul Seal’s starter kit</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/paul-seal-3064892_umbraco-activity-7386779278002003969-SoU-?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAAW74_YBV3u9EQnwiLbNY-AGuarbE2fo6O0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">post about the PR from Andy</a></li><li><a href="https://umb.fyi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UMB.FYI</a></li><li><a href="https://umbracospark.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Umbraco Spark</a></li></ul>
