This month we have with us another amazing woman of Joomla. The lady who, for more than a decade now has been the voice of Joomla’s social media, Alison Meeks. I always liked to call her the Angel of Joomla because Alison saved the day in multiple instances, a fact that serves as a demonstration of her dedication to her role and her love for Joomla. Alison has been one of the most valuable and devoted volunteers in the Joomla community.

Hello everyone. I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2025! (I would also like to add Creative.) I have always been a great fan of creative people.

As we have already seen, there are many women volunteers in Joomla. Amazing women, who look after the Joomla project, and the community that surrounds it.

This month we have with us another amazing Joomla woman. Her name is Christiane Maier-Stadtherr.

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. 

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.

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.
