Open Source Communities & Giving Back - Backstage with Fred An episode of the Backstage with Fred video podcast: During Umbraco Spark, Fred had the opportunity to discuss with Joe Glombek, Umbraco MVP & Umbraco Developer at Bump Digital. Taking advantage of the beautiful weather in Bristol to record the interview outside, Joe told us a bit more about the conference, and gave us the main take away from his talk titled “Developers, Assemble! Community is your team's superpower”. It prompts a great discussion between the two about the importance for individuals but also for companies, to give back to the tech and open source communities out there.

At #UmbracoSpark I had the opportunity to chat with Frédéric Harper about the value of #OpenSourceCommunity, watch the 10min clip here!

Unattributed meme. A nine-square alignment chart, featuring signs. Going left to right, and then top to bottom: Done with this shit / I have questions : sign riveted into a tree in a forest reads "Your GPS is wrong turn around" Done with this shit / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "128 persons have drowned in this lake. 2 wearing a life jacket. 126 not wearing a life jacket." Done with this shit / Vivid: sign reads "Danger, not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying" Ominous / I have questions: sign reads, " if you can read this you're in range" Ominous / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "Warning! Evacuate the island if you hear 8 short blasts" Ominous / Vivid: sign showing a palm tree and three people being chased by flying black circles, reads "Beware falling coconuts" Do not test the gods / I have questions: sign reads, "if elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after" Do not test the gods / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "road may be subject to sudden catastrophic sinkhole collapse" Do not test the gods / vivid: sign crushed by falling rock reads "Falling rock"

Government to go “further and faster” in becoming energy secure The Energy Secretary outlines measures to protect consumers and make Britain energy secure.

Brilliant news! The UK's Labour Government are going to make "plug in solar" legal.

Grab some panels from Lidl, hang them off your balcony or out your window, plug them in to your mains. Done!

The Umbracian's Guide to Bristol (2026) Are you heading to Umbraco Spark and hoping to explore Bristol while you're here? I live near Bristol and now consider myself a Spark veteran, so thought I'd share my insights!

It's that time of year again where I share my tips for the #UmbracoCommunity about what to do in #Bristol in and around the #UmbracoSpark conference (featuring a map of venues as usual!)

A new Share button Have you ever wondered why news articles around the web have buttons to share to some of those other social sites, but not on Mastodon? There used to be a legitimate reason for this: unlike legacy social, Mastodon isn’t a single monolithic website you can link to; there are over 8,000 places where a person could have a Mastodon account! Their account could be on `mastodon.social`, the large, official server run by us. Or `hachyderm.io`, a sizeable server for tech enthusiasts operated by Nivenly. Or `social.coop`, a Mastodon server operated like a co-operative, where all members pay towards the costs and vote on decisions together. Some people run their own Mastodon servers, on their hardware at home. The distributed nature of the network is the greatest strength of Mastodon, but it also means that having a share button that takes you to the “correct” Mastodon server for your account, is a lot more involved than a simple hyperlink. Third party solutions have existed before now, but none of them have become ubiquitous, or easy to discover for website owners. This changes today, with our new official Share tool. If you are a website owner, you can go to share.joinmastodon.org to find instructions describing how to integrate this on your website. Of course, we’ve also made the code available and open source, the same as the rest of Mastodon’s code. That means you can check how it works, and even host a share page of your own (you don’t need to host anything, but you can, if you don’t want to use the version that we’re hosting - it’s your choice). To try out what sharing something looks like right now, click “Share on Mastodon” on this very blog post (there’s a button to do it, at the top right of the page). The tool itself works entirely in your browser: there is no tracking data, and it does not store any information on the server. If you have multiple Mastodon accounts, you can add more than one, and choose which one to share to when you post. One more thing to mention here: back when we released Mastodon version 4.4, tucked away in the release notes, we mentioned that server administrators have the option to send a referrer header when a link is clicked. If the owner of your server has enabled that setting, then websites whose links get shared will see traffic coming from Mastodon - yet another way to share how the community is growing. We’re looking forward to seeing the Mastodon logo on more websites - possibly, alongside other social media platforms; and maybe even as the “main” sharing link, like here on our blog.

We've got something to Share! We hope you'll find it useful. blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/03/a-new-share-butt...

GitHub Actions .NET and Azure workflows locally with Act Act is a fantastic tool for testing GitHub actions locally instead of pushing that 10th commit in a row called Testing GitHub Actions (again) but configuring it to work correctly can be a balancing act, so here are some tips for getting Act working with your .NET CI/CD flows.

On Friday I #Blogged about running #GitHubActions locally using #act, with a particular focus on #DotNet and #Azure.

Although my idea for a package fell flat, I learnt a lot about Umbraco in the process, and helped others get packages into the competition!
