The Co-Lead Editors of the Joomla Community Magazine, Alice Grevet and Dianne Henning, will present "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the JCM but Were Afraid to Ask" at the upcoming Joomla World Conference, November 16-18, 2012.

Do you know the way to San Jose?

If you haven't yet gotten your tickets to the upcoming JWC, what are you waiting for??? Join us in San Jose at the eBay Town Hall from November 16-18 for the very first Joomla! World Conference. This will be your opportunity to meet the people behind the code, the extensions, the templates, the marketing/PR, not to mention the Leadership Teams.

But more specifically, come to the session that Alice and I are giving about the JCM on Saturday, November 17 at noon in Room 5. You'll learn a lot about the Joomla Community Magazine, and how you can become a contributor.

To tempt you even more, the JCM is offering a special 15% discount off the ticket price, but hurry, it ends on November 11! http://jwc12.eventbrite.com/?discount=JCM-LASTCHANCE

We are really pleased to have a few new features for you.

The International section is growing by leaps and bounds, or "pousser comme des champignons", "met grote sprongen", "wächst und gedeiht", "crescendo a passos largos", "crecer como champiñones"... We have a HUGE Spanish section and we've added a Spanish RSS feed. We are always looking for international writers and editors, please This email address is being protected from spambots.

The JCM has teamed up with the JED for a joint venture. First, meet Matt Baylor, the new JEDi in town, then read about the Community Choice Extensions and how YOU can have your say on your favorite extensions! 

Speaking of having your say, the 2013 Goals Survey deadline has been extended to November 10 and includes links to several translations of the survey. Do it today, it only takes a few minutes! 

Thinking Bigger prompts us to think of ways to use Joomla to make the world a better place. Read more and see how you can get involved. 

I am really looking forward to seeing you at the JWC, I hope more of you will find your way to San Jose...!

    I want to thank the two ladies who carefully edit this magazine and who help that it's an interesting read from month to month. I always welcome the beginning of a new month - because there's a new edition of JCM!

    Thank you, Chris! I had posted this on my FB wall, but it is appropriate here, too.

    "This was a long day launching the mag... working with editors from across the time zones, this was our biggest issue ever. With 40 articles in several languages, the JCM is proving itself to be an international voice in the Joomla community. Thank you to ALL of you who contribute, month after month. We can't do it without you!"

    Hi Chris - how kind of you to say that! I have heard some other people say recently that like you, they look forward to each new issue of the magazine. That is so affirming of what we are trying to do. There are lots of ways we can improve, and we will keep working to make things better.

    Thanks again. The reasons you like the mag are exactly the reasons why we and the magazine team do it. :-D

    К сожалению в России пока ёще не такое большое сообщество Joomla, чтобы издавать какие-то журналы.
