Community Magazine

May Edition JCM

In an interview in this issue, OSM's new secretary, Philip Walton, says: "We are a massive success story, and it's so easy to forget that. An anarchic incoherent group of individuals who gravitated around an open source fork and made it work, and not just work but work for 20 years, that's a huge achievement and one that's easy to overlook."

That is exactly how I feel about the Joomla Community Magazine. Each and every month, people come up with  ideas and articles. It's a never ending flow of quality content, created by you: the wonderful Joomla community.  The May issue is no different: another interesting mix of tutorials and how-to's, community interviews, leadership interviews (read those! These people hold Joomla's future) and more. Have fun reading, and if you think: hey, this is a community I'd like to join, please reach out to us so we can find you something nice to do!
