Concrete5 is used for everything from government and educational websites to blogs and custom apps.
Jess joins PortlandLabs as a Technology Evangelist to teach the world about the power of concrete5. In her new role Dunbar will leverage her years of leadership within the open source community to further expand the project. Jess will work closely across all of the teams and collaboratively within the industry to ensure that concrete5 continues to drive developers, designers, and users to experience one of the world’s largest content management systems.
