At the most recent meetup of the Perth Sitecore User Group, we tried a bit of a new format. Given we are physically isolated (surrounded by desert and sharks) and in a timezone that bends the space/time continuum, we have come up with some plans to further engage with the community around the world and start some discussions locally.

At the last meetup we kicked it off with Andy Parry  giving a knowledgeable presentation on Universal tracker usage and installation.  Then following a short pizza & beer break we moved into what we are terming the “Sitecore community roundup”.  This is loosely based on the format of the “ASP.Net live community standup” (https://live.asp.net/), which if you haven’t checked out already….do.  I presented a curated a list of blog posts/videos, community news & events that had been shared amongst the wider Sitecore community over the past month or so.   We stepped through each link and gave a quick summary and kudos mentions to the authors before handing over to the floor for discussion.  This worked really well, with participants engaging with related issues/solutions and starting some ad hoc discussion around each topic.  It was a great conversation starter and attendees now have the chance to grab the links list and follow up on the topics that particularly interest them.

In future, we hope to try and engage with authors/contributors in a short, live Q&A or recorded interview typed format, to help foster further interaction with “the outside world”.  If you find yourself reading this and have written a cool post that you’re keen to share, get in touch on twitter of slack.  We’ll be doing this again mid-April.

Last, but not least.  Below is a onetab link to all of the blog posts, videos, community news & events we talked about.  If you wrote/recorded any of those…Thank you for your contribution! We’d love to hear from you to chat about it at a future meetup.
