Umbraco 7.0.0 launch party tips

Written by @marcemarc on Thursday, 21 November 2013

Well I had a bit of a headstart, at least I did, but then had loads of problems upgrading from the Release Candidate to version 7.0.0 proper, although it hadn't been an issue switching to the Keiras (Knightleys that is), so in the end I've just created a new fresh build of 7, and brought the blog across and things seem ok.

If anything this version seems a little faster than the release candidate!

It's fair to say there are probably a few more issues to uncover, now that more people will be using it and on different setups but the main thing is I'm pleased I can insert images via the rich text editor again, and thankfully the annoying S bug 7 has disappeared... (thank you Per)

Think the community really appreciate how hard the core team have worked on this...

...but...

... and I know it's a joy to use and everything...

... but ...

...I can't help feeling, and this is the main disappointment for me, it's not a criticism but maybe instead of fixing all those show stopping bugs in the last few days, that perhaps the core team's time could have been better spent putting together a video with tips for hosting your own Umbraco 7 launch party, I now have no pointers as to how to structure the evening, or what activites to run...
