We're back in Brisbane for another round of Umbraco goodness - this time, we're exploring creating custom extensions for the Umbraco BackOffice with uUI in Umbraco 16, as we start preparing for the upcoming release of the next Long Term Release - Umbraco 17 in the new year.

Rob will be digging into the anatomy of a custom backoffice library, the new management API, and how it all fits together from start to finish.

👏 Special thanks to our Sponsor Zero Seven - host for this month.

Your Customers, Your CRM and Your Umbraco

To support Umbraco's Autumn Contribution Challenge, Candid Contributions and friends are hosting a virtual hackathon, and you're all invited! Join us at any time throughout the day for a relaxed, friendly environment where people can share ideas, seek inspiration, get guidance, find collaborators, or just have some company whilst hacking away...

We expect lots of conversations and collaborations, but also some periods of quiet achievement. So don't worry if you join the Zoom call and nobody is talking, please turn your video on and say hello: we'll say hello back! We want everyone to feel welcomed, just as we would if you walked into an in-person event!

We shall start at 10:00 CEST / 09:00 BST. At the moment we aim to finish 9 hours later, i.e. at 19:00 CEST / 18:00 BST. If you're in a timezone that isn't within this schedule - and you're willing to help with hosting duties - please contact Lotte Pitcher ([email protected]) and let's see what we can do to fix that!

Sign up on this Meetup page if you're interested in joining us so you have the Zoom link that you will need on the day.

We want this to be safe space for everyone in involved: all attendees will be agreeing to Umbraco's Code of Conduct.

Note: the time for this meetup group is set to Odense, Denmark. So if you're joining from the UK, it will be 7PM, from NYC: 2PM, and so on.

After the success of various iterations of this event recently in Leeds and Manchester, we have decided to run the same event online!

AI coding assistants are changing how developers work—helping with everything from unfamiliar projects to debugging and performance improvements. In this session, we’ll look at several leading tools.

• Ali Graham: Explore how GitHub Copilot can help you with projects you don’t know, speed up onboarding, and improve performance, security, and readability. It’s not just about writing code for you.
• Phil Whittaker: Learn about Claude Code, an agentic, terminal-first coding assistant that brings the power of advanced Claude models directly into your workflow. Whether you’re fixing bugs, generating features from descriptions, or managing complex codebases, it works right where you work—your shell.
• Ollie Picton: A quick-fire tour of how we use Cursor from Playwright wizardry and Umbraco MCP magic to the rules that keep it all running smoothly (ish)

Who Should Attend Developers and tech enthusiasts interested in AI-powered coding tools, whether you’re exploring them for the first time or looking to level up your current workflow. Why It’s Worth Attending Discover practical ways to boost productivity, improve code quality, and reduce repetitive work. Network with peers and join discussions about the future of AI-assisted development.

Agenda After your hosts Ali, Phil, and Ollie will show you how they're using various AI tools, the discussion is open to ask all your questions and share your own experiences.

🔴 This event will be recorded, we'll post a link to the recording here afterwards.

Be among the very first to get hands on with the new long term supported version of the CMS!

You will gain a strong understanding of customising the new Bellissima backoffice, new backend and C# features, and how to upgrade from Umbraco 13 to 17.

This is a hands-on, practical workshop – you won’t just be watching demos! You’ll be working directly with code and will leave with real-world working examples running on your own machine, ready to take back to your team or project.

Hi Umbracians,

We have many things to hack on during this hackathon. Traditionally, we focus on the many "up for grabs" issues on the Umbraco CMS repository and try to fix some of them. This means cloning the Umbraco source code, finding the area we need to look into, making changes, and sending a PR.

We also encourage you to help out package developers in improving their packages, and we'll have a list of participating packages ready for you.

No previous experience is required (although we do expect you to have used Umbraco before), and remember: no pull request is too simple or too small.

Sebastiaan Janssen from Umbraco HQ will also be on-site to help guide your contributions.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Note: This is an in-person event.

We’re excited to welcome Paul Seal, Umbraco MVP, to share his knowledge with the community at our next meetup! 🎉

Paul will introduce Bulk Upload, an open-source package released by ClerksWell. This package makes uploading content in bulk to Umbraco simple, powerful, and fully extendable – and it’s designed with community contributions in mind.

✨ What you’ll learn in this session:

• Why and how the Bulk Upload package was created
• A live demo of how it works inside Umbraco
• Ways you can extend it by writing your own resolvers
• How to get involved by contributing PRs and ideas

This is a great chance not only to see a practical new package in action but also to learn directly from an Umbraco MVP about building, sharing, and contributing to the open-source ecosystem. 🙌

Bring your questions, ideas, and let’s explore Bulk Upload together as a community!

Are you new to Umbraco? Are you Umbra-curious? If so, this casual workshop is for you!

We'll start by chatting a bit about what kinds of technical problems a content management system solves. You'll get a basic walkthrough of what Umbraco does as a content management system. You'll learn about creating content models and templates, and about using those models and templates to create and manage content on a basic website. We'll work through things together, and you'll leave the session with a foundational understanding of how to be productive in Umbraco’s Backoffice, as well as next steps for learning more or getting more engaged with the Umbraco community.

Prerequisites

• To make the most of this session, it's helpful for you to have the latest .NET SDK installed on your computer. We'll be using that to create and manage a local site to work from, and while there is no pressure to follow along during the session, this will help you hit the ground running when you're ready.
• While prior experience with C# and .NET is not strictly required for this session, it is very helpful to have a foundational understanding of how websites work, as well as basic knowledge of programming concepts like objects, properties, variables, templates, conditional statements, loops, etc.
• For sharing work and interacting on the Umbraco Forum, you'll also need a GitHub account.

Can't make it to this session? If you can't make it to this particular session, fret not! We are holding them monthly on the first Thursday of the month (generally). Send us a message and let us know, and we can make sure you get an invite to next month's session.
