We take a look back at the best of 2022 (spoiler alert, July was THE month for us) and look forward to 2023. We discuss how we plan to spend our energy and how to do so without draining our reserves.

We talk about his experiences at GitHub, how he defines developer relations, what he's looking forward to in the year ahead, and what not to name your record label...Find Allen on the Umbraco discord server: https://discord.gg/umbracoAllen Smith's Linked In profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loranallensmithAllen Smith's Twitter: https://twitter.com/loranallensmithDeveloperWeek, San Francisco : https://www.developerweek.com/Umbraco Spark, Bristol: https://umbracospark.com/Lotte's cryptic crossword article: https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2022/christmas-crossword/If you have any feedback, comments or questions you can tweet us @candidcontribs, email hello@candidcontributions.com or join the Umbraco Discord server!

Over 30 years ago Vanilla Ice told us to "Stop, Collaborate and Listen". Considering Ice Ice Baby hit the charts the year before Linus Torvalds released the Linux kernel, Robert Van Winkle (aka Mr Ice) won't have been talking about open source development. But maybe he was onto something... Join us as we discuss why we should all stop, collaborate and listen our way to open source success.
