Many things happened in the Joomla sphere from the previous issue of the Magazine.

The major news is that Joomla 4 Beta 1 has been finally released! Kudos to the Release Leader, the developers and every single contributor, either with code or tests, that worked on this amazing step forward in the new major version development process.

The Community also gathered together for the first online version of the JandBeyond, 24 hours live streaming event about Joomla and its Community.

Unfortunately, the Magazine Team has been hit by terrible news, the loss of a very passionated volunteer, Aris Ntatsis, who has been an author of the Joomla Community Magazine and a pillar of the Joomla Greek Community.

In the June issue of the Magazine, we wanted to publish a tribute to Aris, with memories and comments of his friends and Joomlers, either from the Greek or the Global Joomla Community.

This issue includes several topics: Joomla 4, Privacy, Accessibility, Development, Security, Interviews and Why choose Joomla.

Acknowledgements

Once again, this release is the result of the work and the passion of the JCM Team and the authors who contributed with their pieces. Thanks to all those involved!
This issue is dedicated to Aris Ntatsis as appreciation for his contribution to the Joomla Community.
