Rooted Together: What WordCamp Europe in Kraków Showed Me About Open Source

When I travelled to Kraków for WordCamp Europe, I was not quite sure what to expect. I come from the Joomla community, so I assumed I would be something of an outsider at a WordPress event. Instead, from Contributor Day onward, I kept running into faces I already knew, many of them from CloudFest. It felt less like arriving somewhere new and more like continuing a conversation that had been going on for a while.

Episode IV - A new User Interface for the Joomla Backend

On November 17, the first Alpha for Joomla 4 was released. Whilst this release was intended for developers to check their extensions as soon as possible for their compatibility the Joomla 4 User Interface Team has something nice in store for you. In the last few years, we have been planning, discussing and drafting different concepts of the Joomla 4 backend. First of all: the chance to work on the overall backend user interface is a really big honour for us and we say thank you to all those that welcome us to such a great team. It’s a pleasure to work with such passionate people. Our challenge was to design a backend that mostly fits into the given technical structure of Joomla and to change as much as needed, but as little as possible. We want to invite you to take a ride through the draft of the Joomla 4 Backend design.
