Celebrating the Amazing Women of Joomla with Alison Meeks

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.

Alison has been one of the most valuable and devoted volunteers in the Joomla community.
