The role of the CMS Community Team
The CMS Community Team is a group of people who contributes to the development of the Umbraco CMS by acting as a sounding board and a forum for the Umbraco CMS team, where more high-level ideas, roadmap, and strategy can be discussed. We’ll simply discuss Umbraco features, ideas, strategy, and yeah - everything in and around the CMS within a team of people with various backgrounds and roles.
Contributions
The team contributes through advice and opinions based on deep involvement with the community and broad experiences from their daily work in agencies as developers, technical leads, or directors. Here they will contribute through knowledge, insight, and opinions - rather than through code or technical work.
Team meetings and content
The team meets online four times a year and will discuss several topics at each meeting - most often considerations that look a bit into the future and where it’s essential to include both a technical and business perspective.
