On a cold December morning in the Norwegian capital Oslo, I found myself together with about 50 members of the Enonic community at their final developer meetup of the year.

Enonic is a Norwegian CMS vendor that’s been around for 20 years and has dipped its toes in foreign waters with international expansion in both the US and the UK. Unlike many others in this space these days, Enonic is both founder-led and bootstrapped without venture capital. Judging from the talks at the meetup, Enonic boasts a solid footing in their home market.

With version 7.13.5 of their product, Enonic XP just released, we saw some slides, more live demos, and as expected for a developer meetup, the source code to a number of interesting implementations.
