Umbraco in the Headlines | November Edition ??
We're running out of ways to say, "This month has been amazing for Umbraco." ??
Every month, the Umbraco CMS hits the mark with its reported positive product direction, juicy upgrades, product updates, HQ announcements, and community contributions!
So, what's been going on in the last 30 days?
A lot, as usual.
Here are our top 3 newsworthy takeaways:
1. Umbraco 15 is released: Could this version be a marketer's and content editors' dream? ??

2. Umbraco Introduces Umbraco Engage: Personalisation made simple.
Umbraco recently acquired Umbraco Engage (formally known as uMarketingSuite).
We've been working with uMarketingSuite since day dot. It was an incredible platform then, and it's an even better platform now.

3. A talk at the Umbraco UK festival that left Umbraco Partners inspired about sustainability.
While there were many amazing talks, one talk, in particular, seemed to go down a treat, leaving the audience with food for thought. ??
Asim Hussain (Executive Director Green Software Foundation ) presented "Doing for sustainability, what open source did for software", Adam Shallcross summed it up perfectly:
"Just wow. I haven't seen such an inspiring talk in a long time. It was funny, insightful, and packed with actionable ideas to make the software more sustainable—starting with better ways to measure and reduce its environmental impact.
I'll be taking these ideas back to the COGWORKS team immediately. We all need to do our bit, and ICT has a key role in making software use less power and, therefore, less carbon."
Other attendees were equally impressed. Jenny Bradshaw called it an "incredible talk" with takeaways for individual and business-level sustainability. Others described it as "thought (and action!) provoking" and "exciting."
Why did we pick this as a "headline"?
Frankly, these enthusiastic responses power the ever-present spirit of collaboration and innovation within the Umbraco ecosystem!
Inspired by talks like these, partner agencies and contributors work to improve Umbraco all year round, helping to elevate digital brands everywhere and solidify the positive product direction that Umrbaco is known for.
