At the little Umbraco HQ we've been discussing how we could make
a Christmas Calendar that would work throughout December. As we're
busy working on v4.1 it couldn't be too ambitious and the idea was
to offer Contour at a random discount between 1-24EUR that changed
daily. That was until Pete Brown
Twittered this:
If there's one thing my parents always have told me, it's to
respect anyone who has a Commodore 128 as their Twitter background,
so that's what we're going to do and that's what the Christmas
Calendar 2009 is all about:
Making an awesome blog4umbraco version 2 with daily
progress
The dogme manifest for this calendar is very simple: One guy in
the HQ have to spend an hour every day working on the package with
45 minutes devoted to dev/design and 15 minutes on blogging about
the progress. When we reach December 24th this means that not only
will we have a stunning free blog package for Umbraco, but we have
also shown how fast it is to build and improve things in Umbraco
and how suitable Umbraco is for agile team development.
Stay tuned as Per will blog about setting up our build and
package environment for this project.
Merry Christmas!
