Just Sitecore Things

This year we had a pleasure to be a part of Sitecore SUGCON 2019 conference in London. It was 3rd time when I was participating in this event which was a big pleasure for me :)

Location

I think it's hard to find more business and representative place than London to organize such a conference. The main event was organized in London City, so there wasn't an issue with transport, etc. Inside SUGCON everything was prepared in a perfect way and there was enough amount of space to feel comfortable for, everyone.

  

Presentations

 During the whole SUGCON there were a lot of great presentations. Each of the participants had to choose one from a few which were presenting simultaneously. From my point view I remember very good presentations regarding Publishing Services, Commerce and JSS, JSS and SXA, Azure and SIF. But probably other people had different paths in the agenda so they will have different memories ;)

Besides presentations, it was a brilliant time to meet guys from other countries, with whom we got to know a few years ago. Socializing, networking, discussing, keeping relations, that is a fantastic time.

Thank you guys and see next time! :)

It's the 3rd year in a line when I, I should say even "we", are starting Sitecore Hackathon. Last year in 2018 we have won this competition in xConnect module category with a team called "Las Vegans". This time we also tried to make everything to write something cool.

Team

In this year we agreed that we keep "LasVegans" name for the team. But one of our previous members couldn't attend in this year, so we have invited our friend Rafał Dołżyński. Hence we started competition in the below composition

Topic

After last year and winning the xConnect category, we wanted to change something so in this year we choose UI module category.

Our idea was to prepare special mechanism of tagging connected with NL services. We have extended default SXA approach to very manageable tags with big possibilities to customization.

Work

We decided to take the same "sleep approach" like last year when it worked :) Lot's of discussing, coding, talking and writing :) But it was worth it!

Finish

We did it! it was very close because we have finished uploading video and link to it around 3minutes to deadline ;) But we manage to do it ! Success tastes amazing :)! 

Materials

Github Repo

Third, year but still a new experience. But one thing is not changing - exhausted and satisfaction of finishing everything at the end :) 

See you next year!
