The HolidayFirehose

December, 2023

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄

It's that time of year – where some of us bundle up by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa to get away from the snow and others have to reset their GFCI circuit breakers when the sprinklers trip the Christmas light strings strung across their palm trees.

We're looking forward to a two week break and hope that you too get a nice relaxing break from work, the internet, and all drama. Spend some time with your loved ones. Make some memories. Eat too much food at least once. Tell someone you love them. Give a stranger a hug. Sleep in. Wear ugly sweaters. Watch It's a Wonderful Life.

We'll see you in 2024! 🎉

Flat Camp EU 🇮🇹🤌🏻

Mark your calendars, Flat Camp EU is coming in June 2024, June 11th-14th to be precise! The contract has been signed and we're excited to announce that we'll be taking over a retreat center right outside of Rome, Italy for a few nights. It'll be an all-inclusive get-away with the Statamic Community, including a private chef even.

More details on activites, talks, and tickets available on flatcamp.com soon ✌️

Statamic at Laracon AU 🦘

Marty Friedel from Mity Digital gave a talk at Laracon AU about Statamic for Laravel developers and the recording is finally up on YouTube. It's a great introduction to Statamic for those who are new to it, and a great refresher for those who have been around for a while. Laravel developer or not. Make sure to give it a watch over the holidays.
