Have you ever heard of JAB? JAB is an abbreviation of jandbeyond. An international conference about Joomla! and all things related to Joomla! The first JAB was held in 2010 and unfortunately I wasn't able to attend due to work reasons. This year I had the chance to attend JAB and I made it. Now, four weeks later, I want to share my feelings about the jandbeyond conference with you because I want to tell you the impressions I got out of the conference, and it's not as easy as I thought!
Rolduc is the name of a medieval abbey in Kerkrade, which is now a Roman Catholic seminary and an affiliated conferencing center. It is a perfect and peaceful place to meet open-minded people.
Is awesome :) I met so many people who are honestly interested in Joomla! and sometimes also concerned about the direction of the project. I listened to many OSM board members, discussing the project with the attendees.
The Companies
A lot of companies are built on Joomla! and JAB’s target group are mainly developers. So there were infinite possibilities for me to talk with them about their views on the project, their ideas of making business and much more!
The Project
The project is mainly called Joomla!. But there are two other projects around, Molajo and Nooku. All three are open source and all three are tied together because of their history, their community and their code. It would be wonderful for me to see them working together.
A big thanks to all who helped to make this event happen. I can speak only for me and for me, JAB11 was an amazing experience! Try to join us next year!
And now: your task!
