Just Sitecore Things

Few weeks ago, exactly 17th May, me and my "Sitecore" friends went to Amsterdam to SUGCON 2017. It was first time when I was attending to this event and I have to say it was really good time there. I've gather news from presentation, meet new friends and see in 'real life' old ones ;)

In this short post I would like to share with my SUGCON 2017 memories :)

First impression ?

Amsterdam of course, before Sugcon I was only on Schipol airport during transfer flights. But it was nice to visit other places :) Lots of bikes, beautiful canals and lovely architecture. After this everyone of us was in good mood to start with Sitecore part of the trip.

Conference

So many kind person which love Sitecore, the atmosphere of celebration was in the air. I've have a few talks with guys from other countries and share our experience and ideas according to particular Sitecore topics.

I have to highlight food.. nobody was hungry I assume :)

Presentations

The main part whole conference, presentation. It was so motivating to hear information about JS services in Sitecore or Publishing Services also great presentation. I hope that nobody will be angry on my but I admire Bas Lijten & Rob Habraken who has build own robot to show each conference that channels in Sitecore means everything. we can say sky is the limit. Amazing job Bas & Rob and of course say hello to Robbie :)

Afterparty

we had great opportunity get to know each other more on afterparty organized by Mirabeau

company. The made their office available for all conference attendees. It was a pleasure to be there :) Especially they serve even the food :) Really good job guys !

At the end I'm in 100% sure that was good decision to went to Amsterdam. Great place, great news and what the most important great people. We gonna meet on the next conferences I hope. Remember, if you are not sure, it means you should go!

See you there !

I had a great opportunity to be a part of Sitecore Hackathon 2017 team member. It was my first time in this event and I have to say it were unforgettable 24 hours :)

Team

In our team expect me were: Wojtek Urban and Tomek Juranek. Two awesome guys which with I have pleasure to work with. We called our team "Error 404" and start as a 1 of 3 teams which has been entered into competition.

Topic

We've chosen topic with "Habitat Module" according to which we would like build user report module, called "User Report Module" :) The main idea was to create a place in Sitecore where will be available reports from conent work. In that case we had to use xDB part and make it with Speak from UI side. 

Work

I can say, that in my age is not easy to work for 24h :) I had one break to sleep a little bit, but besides that we were working on our application and were still in touch with other hackathon attendees.

Finish

At the finish we checked in as only one team from Poland :) We achieve our goal and made every rule, hence results could be send for jury ! :) First time with that success :)

Module in Speak looks like:

If you would like see hackathon results could be find as a video:

It wasn't easy but our achievement has been completed :) We hope it's only first step on our road and we would like to attend in next year as well.
Moreover of course we would like to find time and extend our module to make it as best as we can.

Exactly, satisfied, the best word in that time. Looking forward to meet you on next #SitecoreHackathon !
