Community Magazine

Looking back through history we can see those moments of inspiration and those ‘game-changing’ movements. We admire and respect the innovative leaders which blazed the trail and lead the way into the future. We admire them because we know it’s a difficult job. We admire them because at times they were scoffed and ridiculed their ideas were rejected and their sanity questioned. Yet they continued. They persevered and they saw what no one else saw. They saw the future. And they were overwhelmed with the burden to get us there.

This article will take a closer look at the problems and solutions related to Microdata and RDFa and why a simple problem isn't so simple.

Se tenir en équilibre à la frontière entre vitesse et précision... La vie d'un développeur n'est pas simple. La plupart pensent que la vie d'un développeur est relativement sûre et ne comporte que peu de danger. Je vous assure que ce n'est tout simplement pas le cas. Le quotidien d'un développeur implique une routine complexe et souvent difficile que la plupart ne verront ou ne comprendront jamais. Un peu comme marcher sur un fil...

Finding my way around the maze of - Product vs Project, Market vs Community, Marketing vs human resources (HR) in the awesome Community Driven Software that is Joomla! Come explore the world of Joomla Marketing with me!

What is the outlook for Joomla 3.4 and beyond? Shorter and targeted release cycles, improved stability, no more STS/LTS, solving the Bootstrap challenge, and decoupling core extensions. In a video interview, David Hurley shares plans for achieving a new, lighter, and more stable Joomla core without breaking backwards compatibility.

On the weekend of July 26th and 27th nine developers from around the world gathered in Manchester, UK to clean up Joomla's bug tracker. The project's bug tracker had grown unkempt, with hundreds of issues that were stagnant for a long time. Some issues were there for over a year. Moreover, the JoomlaCode issue tracker wasn’t really fit for the amount of growth Joomla had experienced since 2005. It was necessary to put the number of issues under control and move to an improved bug tracker and that was the goal of the Joomla! Bug Sprint.

Essa foi a terceira vez que aconteceu o Joomla Day Cidade do México nos dias 17 e 18 de julho. O evento de dois dias foi organizado pela JUG Ciudade de México. Posso resumir assim o #JDayMX14: participativo, internacional e com muitas caras novas!

For me, some of the more memorable moments of the 2013 Joomla! World Conference involved WordPress leaders being present at the event openly discussing both Joomla and WordPress and each project’s unique attributes. In my time contributing to the open source community, rarely had I seen “cross-talk” like this between projects, let alone those leading projects. After that event, my interest was peaked and one of my 2014 TODO’s was to not only attend a WordCamp, but also speak at it and share how our communities can learn from one another.

With 175 user groups around the world, there is always something exciting and interesting happening in the Joomla! Community! This is a monthly round-up highlighting new Joomla!

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Community Leadership Summit, lead by Jono Bacon and held in Portland, Oregon on July 18-20. I was joined by Sander Potjer (Joomla Community Leadership Team) and David Hurley (Joomla Production Leadership Team and Joomla's Community Manager). This was my first conference that was not a Joomla event, and it was also my first "unconference".

What kind of connection is strong enough to bring people together from Sydney, Seattle, Iquique, Oslo, Grand Case, Pune (India), Osaka or also Auxerre, to name a few? What kind of strange "madness" motivates hundreds of people to come to a German village, at the foot of a fortress, to talk about the web, code, links and free software for a few days?

A while back I discovered the heart in the Joomla logo. It’s been there all the time but for some reason I haven’t seen it. And now I can’t stop seeing it. I can’t get it of my mind. The creator of the logo has really captured the essence of Joomla. A heart. Or several hearts if you look closer. That is really smart. The heart can manifest a lot of different attributes for our community. Here are some that I see that I would like to share with you.

It’s 6:00 a.m., my alarm tells me to wake up. Not a normal time for me at all to wake up and travel to the other side of the country. But that’s just a small sacrifice for a full day of fun with a lot of people, while contributing to the project and then finishing the day with a nice pizza.

Growth, improving, expanding! Is the status of the Joomla! project meeting its demands? Where do we want to go and why? What will Joomla look like in 10 years? And where will we be on an international level?

Previamente los diseñadores de sitios web tenían que escoger entre un gestor de plantilla (CMS) con un diseño actualizado o una función específica. Algunos gestores eran conocidos por facilitar las funciones de un carrito de ventas, otros proveían opciones para blogs atractivas y responsivas; y por otro lado teníamos Joomla!, un gestor que le da cabida a los desarrolladores de agregar nueva funcionalidad continuamente a un sitio por medio de su amplio directorio de extensiones.

Para escribir este artículo he pedido a varias personas que no conocían Joomla, ni tienen demasiados conocimientos informáticos que me echen una mano. Todos han accedido al portal de extensiones de Joomla con un objetivo: Encontrar la extensión que les permita explotar un supuesto negocio de venta de galletas y magdalenas a través de internet.

En este del tutorial hablaremos de como instalar configurar y realizar nuestro primer venta con VIRTUEMART 2.6.
