No doubt you will have heard of the successful Joomla 8 sprint that was held last autumn to roadmap Joomla for the future. And I think it would be fair to say that we, as a community have a good idea of what Joomla is and what it can do.
The Joomla community has once again proven the strength of open‑source collaboration. The latest edition of Pizza Bugs & Fun (PBF) brought together more than 150 participants across 14 countries, uniting contributors of all skill levels for two days of testing, documenting, fixing, learning and yes, sharing pizza.
You don’t need a badge to polish to contribute to Joomla. You just need to roll up your sleeves and do it.
Over the last twenty years, the Italian Joomla community has undergone a period of radical transformation, with significant changes in many areas.
When a core component like Weblinks was decoupled, it created a maintenance challenge. My Google Summer of Code project had a clear mission: bring this useful extension up to modern Joomla 5 standards, not just for end-users, but as a public example of high-quality development and testing practices.
Joomla is a super powerful, flexible, fast, accessible and secure content management system that lets you create any kind of website. We all know that. And we all keep wondering why it’s not the most widely used CMS (since it is the best open source CMS there is 🙂). We can grow Joomla together, and here’s how.

Our open-source community thrives thanks to dedicated people, lived transparency, and open exchange – all fueled by a shared passion for Joomla! It’s not just about technical knowledge and expertise; it’s equally about how we interact as people. This combination of competence and personal connection is what makes our community strong, vibrant, and Joomla! successful.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of being recognized by your peers. I learned this firsthand in 2011, when my colleague Isidro Baquero and I discovered our Spanish Joomla blog had been nominated for a J.O.S.C.A.R award at JandBeyond. We were just two engineers passionate enough to write about Joomla! in our native language. We didn’t win, but that moment of validation was unforgettable: it felt like we had achieved something amazing.
