You’ve probably heard or read it more than once: Joomla needs volunteers. Without people, new releases take longer and have less exciting features, documentation remains incomplete and bugs take forever to get fixed. But who do we need, and what would they be doing?
The JCM Team is proud to present you the January Issue of the Joomla! Community Magazine, the very first edition of 2025. Check out what this issue has to offer!
Happy New Year 2025, dear Joomla community!
As we step into this new year, we want to take a moment to celebrate everything that makes Joomla so special: you, the members of this caring and passionate community. 2025 is a significant year, marking 20 years of Joomla, 20 years of innovation, collaboration, and connection.
The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and sustainability is no longer just a buzzword – it's a necessity. As businesses and developers strive to reduce their environmental footprint, sustainable web development has emerged as a critical focus.
When developing websites or extensions for Joomla, sometimes tasks arise that have already been solved by someone. In the development world, such solutions are designed as libraries - sets of files and classes that make it possible to simply plug them into your script and use code written and well-tested by other developers. These can be php libraries for image processing, working with PDF, connecting to third-party services via the REST API, and much, much more.
Hello everyone. I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2025! (I would also like to add Creative.) I have always been a great fan of creative people.
When you ask John Dagelmore, he basically tells you about his extensions.
Narcissistic? Selfish? No !
He's just proud of them, because they're his babies !
But he's also very proud of Joomla, which he considers to be the best CMS in existence,and as a good family man, he kindly explained to us the life of his extensions, which he grew up in a caring environment.
Angelika Prox Dampha has volunteered to take on the coordination of the outreach department, and she has been elected for 1 year in this position. Let's find out how she sees this mission and what she's doing to raise awareness of our magnificent CMS among even more Joomlers.
