You may know it already: Joomla will celebrate its 20th birthday next month, on August 17 to be precise. Twenty years of working together to make every new version the best Joomla ever, twenty years of enabling people to learn, contribute and rise up above themselves, twenty years of community, friendship and freedom. That calls for a celebration. But actually, the Joomla Community Magazine is doing that every month. With each new issue, with each article, we spread the Joomla love, share our knowledge, and encourage people to join us. We have how-to's and tutorials as well as stories and news from our community and interesting reads about what's happening around us. I hope you enjoy this month's issue, and don't forget: Joomla is worth celebrating every day!

Full list of this month's articles:

About the author

Before I got my current job as Coordinator Communications & Digital, I ran my own company for 25 years. The first 15 years I was a writer / editor / journalist / writing coach, but then I created my first website with Joomla... and I was hooked. I switched careers and became a website developer. My current job combines these two skills, so that's a win-win 🙂

Why I contribute to Joomla

To many people Joomla is just a tool. But if you look a little closer, you'll notice it's much more than that. It's a living system, raised and nourished by a community of volunteers dedicating their time to make it the best CMS ever. Without volunteers, Joomla wouldn't exist. It's not 'just a product'. Everyone who uses Joomla, can do so because someone, somewhere, contributed to it. I want to give back to the community that keeps Joomla alive.

And, probably needless to say: I love being part of that community. 

Contributing to Joomla by volunteering brought me so much: valuable experience, more knowledge and a better understanding of Joomla and its community, and the opportunity to work together with a crowd of lovely people all over the world.
