Joomla! Community Magazine™

One of the presentations I was most interested in during the Joomla World Conference 2012 was Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the JCM (But Were Afraid to Ask) by Alice Grevet and Dianne Henning. They promoted the magazine and how it can be an asset for people with different interests related to Joomla! It made me wonder, how much of Joomla.org is still invisible to the vast majority.

En l'any 2013 hi haurà més dispositius mòbils capaços d'accedir al web. Com presentar el teu lloc web Joomla! a tots aquells usuaris que hi accedeixen des dels seus dispositius mòbils? Un lloc web mòbil, és un lloc web que ha estat optimitzat per funcionar en un navegador mòbil.

Durant la reunió conjunta de líders a la cimera de Sant Josep, Califòrnia el 15 de novembre de 2012, un tema que els membres dels equips de Joomla Production Leadership (PLT), Community Leadership Team (CLT) i la Open Source Matters (OSM) van estar d'acord , va ser a intentar concloure els objectius de l'equip per al 2013 abans del 31 de desembre de 2012.

The Joomla Community Magazine is like a box of chocolates…

En començar el nou any, sempre hi ha algun moment per pensar en ... "Si posa límits en el que fas, tant física o en qualsevol altre nivell, aquest s'estendrà en el seu treball i en la seva vida, no hi ha límits només existeixen altiplans, i vostè no ha de quedar-se aquí - .. ha d'anar més enllà d'ells ." Bruce Lee

La Conferència Internacional de Joomla ens dóna el seu suport. Sempre és gent meravellosa quan es reuneixen presencialment. És en aquests moments quan es poden discutir les coses en detall i poder arribar a una solució ràpida i eficaç. A la versió 3.0, tenim problemes d'accessibilitat a la part frontal, així com l'administració. L'objectiu s'ha d'establir pas a pas. No va a succeir durant la nit.

The big news in leadership in recent weeks is the new kids on the block. Meet them!

Here is an easy and fun way for you to share your feelings about Joomla! with the rest of the community: Simply write a haiku about Joomla! below in the comments area of this month's page.

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.

Desde 2005 utilizando a ferramenta e acompanhando o crescimento dos usuários (comunidade) do CMS Joomla, no Brasil, resolvi obter um panorama da "indústria joomleira" a partir do convite recebido para atuar como curador da Sala 3 – Conteúdo, SEO e Mídias Sociais no Joomla! Day Brasil 2012 (JDBR12). Realizei uma pesquisa exploratória e semi-estruturada para identificar o cenário tupiniquim em torno da ferramenta. Até então não existia qualquer dado que pudesse revelar o perfil dos usuários e/ou nortear estratégias mercadológicas.

This is the first article in a four-part series, based on my presentation at the Joomla World Conference. We've all been there. You deliver that shiny new website to your client; they are excited to have this new outreach on the Internet; and you're ready to get that final payment when they ask you the question:  "So, how do I change this word here?”   While the wording may differ from client to client, the underlying question remains the same:  “How do I keep my site up to date?” At that point, you probably realize once again that your least favorite task in web design and working with clients is something that once again you have forgotten to finish: documentation.

The Holiday Joomla! Extension Potluck was held December 5, 2012 at the NextSpace Union Square in San Francisco. An Extension Potluck is something we made up last year where at the end of the year, we meet together and bring a food dish to share with each other and each member shares a "mini-presentation" about a specific extension they enjoy using. 12 members were in attendance which was perfect from a time perspective - only a couple did not share.

Maintaining a secure web site is a top concern for many people. Everyone is looking for the one way to make sure their site is always running, safe, and secure. When someone expresses concern about the security of their site, I usually ask them how old their most recent backup is. Most don't know, or don't have any backup at all.

If you have been using Joomla for an period of time, its easy to forget what it was like to take Joomla for its first test drive. Andrea Dace is the owner of Aesage, an eLearning startup, and this year she chose Joomla to build her company website with Joomla.
