⚡ We were fortunate to sponsor LocalGov Drupal Week 2024. It was a fantastic event that reminded us just how diverse and vibrant the LocalGov Drupal community is. 🙌 Over 300 participants from councils and their suppliers discussed using LocalGov Drupal to improve digital services. Maria Young looks back at her highlights from the week > https://lnkd.in/dRtWmr47 Shoutouts to those mentioned in the article for their excellent contributions. James Hall, Finn Lewis, Rupert Jabelman, Will Callaghan, Mark Conroy, Marios Ioannidis 🌐, Jamie Dixon, Wirral Council, Sheffield City Council, Cumberland Council, Essex County Council, Invuse, Woking Borough Council, Big Blue Door, Southwark Council. LocalGov Drupal Week featured presentations from developers, content designers, product managers, UX specialists, and others who came together to celebrate the brilliant work being done every day to improve digital council services. The LocalGov Drupal project continues to progress quickly, thanks to the incredible enthusiasm of its participants. This excitement is infectious, and we love being involved. We know it's the same for others, and that’s a large part of why the project continues to attract more contributors. It’s a virtuous circle of contagious enthusiasm and contributions that strengthen the distribution, giving councils more of what they need regarding functionality and community.

At Co-operatives UK, delivering value to our members is at the heart of everything we do. As we're a co-operative it's critical that we listen to feedback from our members. That member insight has allowed us to launch the first phase of a range of exciting new website features that make it easier to connect, collaborate, and grow together.   🔍 Explore the new Co-op Directory: A comprehensive map showcasing all UK co-operatives, with Co-operatives UK members featured prominently. ♨️ A heatmap to visualise the spread of co-operatives across the country: Enhanced search tools for easier navigation. 👥 Improved members-only area: - Manage email subscriptions and directory details with ease - Add links and soon, upload your logo to your profile. - Enjoy simple access with our new “magic link” login feature. ✨ These updates were made possible by the collaborative efforts of our members: Outlandish Co-operative conducted the research - speaking to lots of fellow members - to understand member needs. Agile Collective delivered the improvements. AND this is just the beginning! We’re committed to rolling out even more features in 2025, all shaped by member input.   💬 Ready to see what’s new? Log in, explore, and let us know your thoughts. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected co-operative economy. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eV6vs9QY #Coops #CoopDirectory #StrongerTogether
