Changing the default...

Who would believe that there would be an open source CMS based on Microsoft's ASP.NET?

A CMS that can support any modern browser and that even allows editing with Microsoft Word.

One where designers can create accessible and valid xhtml with their markup left intact.

Where developers can integrate any .net based control right out of the box.

If someone tells you "won’t happen", then they have never used umbraco...

Umbraco MVPs 2010

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 by Niels Hartvig

Earlier this year we reached out to the community to help pick the 2010 Umbraco MVPs. The results have been processed and we're happy to announce the lucky five. In random order:

All five have done a tremendous amount of community work in 2009 by helping people on the forums, blogging about hidden gems in Umbraco and producing killer packages. On behalf of the HQ and the rest of the community I can't say thanks enough and I'm looking forward to giving you a cheesy diploma at CodeGarden '10.

Over the next couple of weeks we'll post profiles of each of the five along with community testimonials on what makes this bunch extra special.

Congrats, guys and thanks again!

Time to vote for the 2010 Umbraco MVPs

Friday, February 05, 2010 by Niels Hartvig

Umbraco got the worlds most friendly community. Period. With more than 5.000 individuals helping each other every month it can be hard to pinpoint who's doing more than others, but there are Umbracians who're putting an almost unbelievable effort in answering questions on the forum, producing killer packages and sharing knowledge in the wiki and blog posts.

To show how much we appreciate their work, we made the Umbraco MVP - Most Valued People (*not* professionals) program in 2007. If you take a look at the ten different people who've previously received the MVP award, I'm sure you'll find out that they helped you when you started with Umbraco and that your Umbraco sites are using their packages.

Previously it was Per and I who decided who got to be MVPs, but last year we decided to change that. Let the people who've received help be the ones who choose the MVPs. So we invented the Karma system on Our and we've used that to make a shortlist of the twenty candidates for the 2010 MVP award:

Cast your vote before March 1st 2010

To narrow this down to five MVPs, please take your time to vote for your favorite candidate. For more details, please check the voting page on Our Umbraco.

Congratulations to all twenty people who made this list and let the best five win!
