Hackathons have become a staple event at Umbraco festivals worldwide and UDUF 2019 will be no different. Last year’s hackathon was an amazing success with developers making their mark by contributing over 20 pull requests to the core and the documentation. Niels Hartvig and Shannon Deminick from Umbraco HQ were on hand to provide assistance and will be there this year. The Hackathon will be held on the 28th of February and is your chance to improve and enhance your favourite CMS.

Also included in your festival ticket is the Pre-Party on the 28th Feb held at the QT Hotel. A night filled with great food and drink. This is an opportunity for you to meet and get to know other Umbracians from Australia and abroad. Share your ideas, experiences and contribute to the future of the Umbraco CMS.
