<p>Our new website is up and running! When Ura was founded we were just 2 people trying to build something in our free time. Since then, we came a long way and others have joined us too. It was time for us to move away from WordPress to a more contribution friendly platform, such as Jekyll.[…]</p>

<p>During last weekend the Ura team traveled to Brussels, Belgium to attend FOSDEM. We had the chance to be present at one of the largest conferences in Europe (and probably the largest Free Software/ Open Source one).

<p>Chaos Communication Congress or simply CCC , is a four-day conference focusing on technology and social issues of our times.
