Joomla User Group - Organizers

97 Hits
2024-01-JUG-Leadership

It is about that time of year again.  Twice a year the Joomla User Group team meets with anyone that is organizing their own Joomla User Group or thinking of organizing one.  

Remember virtual user groups are REAL user groups!

This is a chance for you to discuss with other Joomla User Groups what makes their groups tick, what makes them work and what doesn't work. Although our user groups may be spread all over the world and we all have different cultures, traditions and languges, we all have Joomla in common. We all have a need to collaborate, network and know that we are not on our own little island.

This year's meeting will be:
Monday, January 22, 2024
11:00 am EDT | 16:00 UTC

Register at: https://bit.ly/jug-leadership-2024-01 

We also have a special guest attending, Cryrstal Dionsopolous the president of Open Source Matters.
