If there's one person who represents action in Joomla, it could be Roland Dalmulder. For a long time now, he's been moving forward without looking back, even running, wearing the Joomla colors! And when he stops to take a breather, it's only to set off again! 
This marathon coder is back this year with the firm intention of helping users of his renowned extensions, as well as getting even more involved in the Joomla! project.

There are jobs, behind-the-scenes jobs, that not many people want to do, because they require hard work, rigor and seriousness, but also the ability to work as part of a team without necessarily being in the spotlight and reaping the glory. Nadja Lamisch possesses these qualities and has successfully carried out the mission entrusted to her: treasurer of Joomla.
At the end of her term, she stood for re-election and was re-confirmed in her post. This well-deserved re-election was well worth an interview to get to know the woman who holds the purse strings.

The passion for computer science was always one of my favorite topics to discuss. With this in mind I would like to present Ane Miren Alvarez, a talented Web Developer who has implemented the Joomla API within the automation tool Make, an “integration that allows for automated workflows and processes within Joomla” as she describes it. 

When it comes to videos, podcasts and Joomla streamers, one name always stands out: Tim Davis!

Is it any coincidence that this real-life pastor is so enthusiastic about sharing both his knowledge and his passion for Joomla!
We asked him about his relationship with the community and how he came to produce such interesting and valuable videos.

The amazing, unstoppable women of Joomla are always here for all Joomla users. They never stop impressing us with their power and achievements. This month we have another amazing woman with us: Elisa Foltyn. Elisa has answered some of our questions to let us get to know her better.

Most joomlers have visited one of Steve Burge's sites at some time, whether it's OSTraining for training or Joomlashack for extensions. What most of his tools have in common is their use in education.
We were curious to know why this former schoolteacher decided to devote his professional life to providing quality Joomla tools, so we asked him, and Steve kindly replied :

At the moment of writing, it's Joomla’s birthday, a celebration day for all Joomla volunteers and especially for the women contributors who continuously leave their mark on our favourite CMS. With this in mind I would like to present the Treasurer of Open-Source Matters Inc.

Wonderful news! At the moment of writing, it's Joomla’s (19th) birthday. 

But what is Joomla, and what are we celebrating? 

Joomla is a content management system (CMS) as we all know. However, beyond this, Joomla is all the people who support it. A huge community of volunteers who are there to build, develop, extend, teach, communicate, advocate, and so much more. 

Yannick Gaultier isn't an SEO consultant, but it's an area he loves and he's one of the most knowledgeable people in the Joomla world.

Tassos is a Greek first name which, thanks to the hard work of a Joomla user, has become a well-known brand of extensions in the community.
Tassos Marinos now leads a company which provides a number of useful extensions ( some say essential ) in free or pro versions, and always with the same desire to be useful to Joomla users.
Let's take a look at the origins of this project, and find out who the man behind the developer is.
