A screenshot of a virtual Umbraco Community Hour meetup with 17 participants. The top rows show attendees with webcams on, including Sebastiaan Janssen, Owain Jones, Matt B, Corné Hoskam, Richard Thompson, Paul Seal, Ravi Motha, Mike Chambers, and Aaron — most are smiling and waving. Some participants, including Markus Johansson, Deepak, Steve Morgan, and Dean Leigh, have either their video turned off or profile pictures displayed. The background settings vary from home offices to blurred or colorful backdrops. The atmosphere is friendly and engaging.

We had an awesome @umbraco.com Community Hour virtual meetup today! 🙌

Our next one is in two weeks, at 12:00 BST on Wednesday, August 20th!

A group of eight people sitting around a long wooden table in a pub, smiling at the camera during the UmbraCymru summer social. Drinks are on the table, and a large screen in the background shows a Formula 1 pit lane scene. The venue has exposed brick walls decorated with beer signs and posters, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

We had a brilliant time at our #UmbraCymru summer social last night! 🙌

Thank you to Aspire Systems (Method4) for Sponsoring! 🍻
