Howdy Umbracian pals,

For our March meetup, Sebastiaan Janssen from Umbraco HQ will be joining us to chat all about the new community forum for Umbraco.

For folks who haven't heard yet, the Umbraco forum is moving to Discourse, and Seb is going to walk us through why. There are a host of different reasons, from better spam control to improved search; this change is all about making things work smoother for the community.

Let’s talk about what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and how this move fits into the bigger picture.

Matt Swain - Unlocking the Power of Umbraco Commerce

Join Matt Swain, Umbraco Commerce Community Team member for a session on Umbraco Commerce, Umbraco's in-house e-commerce solution. Whether you're new to the platform or looking to explore its advanced capabilities, this talk will provide a comprehensive overview of what Umbraco Commerce has to offer.

We'll start with the fundamentals, covering costs and the key features that make Umbraco Commerce a compelling choice for developers and businesses. From flexible product management to order handling, you'll get a high-level understanding of how the platform is structured and the benefits it brings to e-commerce projects.

From there, we’ll take a deeper dive into product and order line customisation, exploring how developers can implement custom pricing models, extend the order, and order line functionality to meet complex business requirements. You'll see a real-world example of how this all fits together. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a look at the Umbraco Commerce roadmap, discussing upcoming features, planned improvements, and what you can expect from the team in the year ahead.

Andy Boot - Upgrading Umbraco: From 8 to 13 LTS and Beyond to 15 STS

Is your Umbraco 8 site stuck in the past? With its end-of-life behind us as of February 2025, now’s the time to upgrade—but where do you start, and what are the challenges? Join Andy Boot, an Umbraco MVP, for a practical guide to modernising your Umbraco site codebase.

In this talk, we’ll walk through the essential upgrade path from Umbraco 8 to 13 LTS via 10, exploring the shift from .NET Framework to .NET Core, key code changes (like Nested Content to Block List), and handy tools like uSync Migrations and GitKraken Worktrees. We’ll also dive into why Umbraco 13 LTS is the sweet spot for stability—supported until 2026 with broad package compatibility—versus the cutting-edge Umbraco 15 STS. Then, we’ll map out the next step: upgrading from 13 to 15, tackling .NET 9, and any features plus breaking changes you need to be aware of.

Whether you’re a developer, tech lead, or Umbraco enthusiast, you’ll leave with a clear plan—and maybe a few tricks up your sleeve.

Engaging Presentations:

Our speakers will present on two key topics: the powerful capabilities of Umbraco Commerce and the essential upgrade path from Umbraco 8 to 13 LTS and beyond. These sessions will be filled with real-world examples and essential concepts, delivered in an engaging, interactive setting

Who Should Attend:

Whether you're new to Umbraco or a seasoned professional, this event is perfect for anyone interested in the platform. It's a unique opportunity to gain insights into the latest developments, share experiences, and network with peers in the industry.

Why It's Worth Attending:

This meetup is more than just listening to talks. It's a chance to connect with the community, learn from experts, and engage in meaningful discussions about Umbraco and software development. Attend to expand your knowledge, meet fellow enthusiasts, and be part of the vibrant Umbraco community.

Agenda:

18:30 - Open for Mingling + Pizza + CAKE!?!? 19:00 - Talk: Matt Swain : Unlocking the Power of Umbraco Commerce 19:45 - Talk: Andy Boot : Upgrading Umbraco: From 8 to 13 LTS and Beyond to 15 STS 20:15 - Open Social

The Umbraco Down Under Festival (UDUF) is back in 2025, reuniting the Australian Umbraco community after several years apart. This is your opportunity to connect with developers, designers, marketers, and content creators who rely on Umbraco to power their digital projects—and to be inspired by what’s possible with the platform.

UDUF is a gathering for learning, sharing, and collaboration. It’s not a trade show or a platform for sales pitches; it’s an event built by the community, for the community. Whether you work on the technical side or drive the creative and strategic outcomes, you’ll find a diverse mix of sessions tailored to both perspectives.

A highlight of the event will be the community hackathon, where you can collaborate with peers to tackle challenges and create innovative solutions. Adding to the excitement, representatives from Umbraco HQ will be present, offering valuable insights and connecting directly with the community they help power. This is your chance to hear about the future of Umbraco straight from the source and to share your ideas with them.
