I had a nice view of a freshly frozen lake and a fading sunset -- two things that happen too early in Minneapolis in November. The scenery went largely ignored from inside our conference room. We had more important matters to focus on: Brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and our favorite CMS. This was the first meeting of our new Minneapolis Umbraco Meetup.
I was excited to sit around a long table with some co-workers and new friends I had made over the past few months of trying to get this meetup off the ground. We recapped the Umbraco US Festival that a few of us had attended, took bets on when V8 will go live, and talked about what we want to get out of a meetup. Many of us had different backgrounds in Umbraco and have different experiences with tools, patterns, and development practices. We were all excited to learn from each other and were able to brainstorm a couple dozen discussion topics for future meetups… I’m pretty sure we have enough topics for all of
