Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Salsa

It’s been a pleasure to work with our fantastic clients and partners this year to deliver some amazing work. We also actively participated in DrupalSouth (in-person again!) and hosted some great Drupal Meetups.

We’re looking forward to doing it again, bigger and better, next year!

Opening hours

During the Christmas and New Year period, Salsa will be open on all days except the public holidays of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. The official weekday public holidays are:

  • Monday 26 December (Boxing Day)
  • Tuesday 27 December (public holiday for Christmas Day)
  • Monday 2 January (public holiday for New Year's Day)

While many members of the team are away during part of December/January, there will be some Salsarians on duty!

Donating to charities and open source projects

In lieu of hampers, socks or ‘knick-knacks’, each year Salsa donates to charities and projects on behalf of Salsa and the ‘extended’ Salsa family (our partners and clients). This year, we’ve made the following cash donations:
