Putting together the Joomla Community is a very satisfying job. Each and every month, my Co-Editor Claudia and I get to see a huge variety of articles, written by you, members of the Joomla Community. So it is with great pride and joy that we present to you the June issue of the Joomla Community Magazine!

This month, you can read how you can help shape Joomla's future or make valuable contributions now, find out which new features are coming (SEO out of the box as well as a tool to migrate your WordPress site to Joomla), why you shouldn't rely on automated tools alone to fix the accessibility of your website, and how to create page transitions for your website, with CSS.

Are you coordinating a Joomla User Group? Heads up: there's a global meeting coming, don't miss out on that! And if you consider yourself a (wannabe) Joombassador, read The Pink Elephant Paradox and check how you can be contribute to Joomla's 20th Birthday Party!

The Joomla Academy, a global initiative run by Open Source Matters and the brainchild of Philip Walton, is well underway; and the momentum is only building! With the first group of students hard at work on development projects, it’s a nice opportunity to reflect on what’s been achieved, to recognise those who have made it possible, and look ahead to what’s next. 

It’s that time of year again! The Joomla User Group (JUG) team is excited to invite current and aspiring JUG organizers to our leadership meeting.

Whether you're running a group or considering launching one, this is your opportunity to connect, share, and learn with others from around the globe.

In the last issue we showed how web designers can trick out the automatic accessibility checker tools in colour contrast. In this article we shed light on alt-texts.

Have you ever been told, "Don’t think about a pink elephant”? Odds are, a pink elephant popped into your mind instantly.

Spending the last 3 days at VivaTech 2025 with AI at almost every booth and in most conversations, one could forget there is anything else today. With thousands of AI tools showcased - from oncology to climate solutions - it’s easy to assume traditional systems like CMSes are unnecessary or possibly even obsolete. Yet this assumption misses a critical point: AI and CMSes like Joomla (celebrating its 20th year in 2025) serve complementary roles, and the latter remains indispensable!

Podcasting is a powerful way to connect with others, build a community, and let your voice be heard. So a podcast about all the good things Joomla can bring could be a great idea to make get the word out. But too often, people hold back - thinking they need fancy equipment, expensive software, or a perfect studio to get started. The truth is: you don’t.

Wouldn’t it be great if Joomla could automatically generate meaningful SEO data, so you don’t have to do it manually?
