Joomla! Community Magazine™

Holding a Pub Night "north" at the top of the Yonge subway line, in 2009 I ventured south to my first Joomla User Group Toronto (JUGT) event.

There’s not much time left until the start of the JoomlaDay™ events for the month of March, 2013 so I hope you have your tickets booked for: JoomlaDay Gabon (March 07), JoomlaDay Boston (March 16), and Joomladay France (March 22). You won't regret it! There are many more events for April and May 2013.

Back in 2012 a group of crazy folks got together and decided it was high time that a Joomla User Group be founded in Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro is a city in in Brazil, located in South America. Interest in the Joomla platform is growing in Rio, thus the need for those of like Joomla mind be joined together so that knowledge can be growing at the same time as interest in the Joomla platform.

JoomlaDay™ events are officially recognized, but not organized, by the Joomla! Project and Open Source Matters, Inc (OSM). Each event is managed independently by a local community.

At the end of Kevinjohn Gallagher’s very impressive online bio is his down-side - “He’s a little blunt.” And, in his keynote at the Joomla! World Conference, he did not disappoint! But, something about a guy in a kilt, we really don’t expect subtlety.

The JUGs (Joomla! User Group) would like to create a category on the Joomla Community Magazine in order to have an open channel between the JUGs and the rest of the Joomla community at large. What is your JUG up to? Become an author and submit an article and share what your JUG is doing with the Joomla! Community.

On 13th October, Joomla User Group Bangladesh arranged a meetup for the first time in Bangladesh. The event was held at the Priyo Tech Office and arranged by some energetic Joomla enthusiasts. Not all of those attendants were Joomla users, and so that was a great way to introduce more people to Joomla through this meetup. It was really mass attendance beyond our imagination and we were tight for space!

The fifth JoomlaDay Italy took place on September 29th in Turin.

JoomlaDay Poland was held on Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, 2012 at the Malta's Training and Conference Center in Poznań, Poland's fifth largest city. I would like to share with you a few impressions from this inaugural event.
