In the Joomla world, iCagenda is an essential extension for event management. Solid, scalable and designed with the user in mind, it powers thousands of sites around the world. But who really knows its creator, Cyril Reze? A self-taught developer based in Brittany, France, Cyril cultivates discretion as much as rigor.
They don't seek the limelight, and yet, without them, Joomla 5.4 wouldn't be what it is. Richard Fath and Heiko Lübbe embody this new team of discreet but formidably efficient Release Managers, behind this bridge release to Joomla 6. Who are they?
At the heart of Joomla's development and stability, the Production Department plays a key role in coordinating teams and managing the CMS's release cycles. Leading this effort is Sigrid Gramlinger, who has just been re-elected as Coordinator, ensuring effective organization and timely updates.
Joomla! relies on a strong operational backbone to ensure the smooth functioning of its various teams and projects. At the forefront of this effort is Carlos Cámara, who has just been re-elected as Operations Department Coordinator. His role is to provide support, foster collaboration, and help volunteers work efficiently across different areas of the project.
If you're a Joomla user, you've probably already heard of JEvents, YourSites or EasyLayouts. But do you know the man behind these essential extensions?
Happy New Year 2025, dear Joomla community!
As we step into this new year, we want to take a moment to celebrate everything that makes Joomla so special: you, the members of this caring and passionate community. 2025 is a significant year, marking 20 years of Joomla, 20 years of innovation, collaboration, and connection.
When you ask John Dagelmore, he basically tells you about his extensions.
Narcissistic? Selfish? No !
He's just proud of them, because they're his babies !
But he's also very proud of Joomla, which he considers to be the best CMS in existence,and as a good family man, he kindly explained to us the life of his extensions, which he grew up in a caring environment.
Angelika Prox Dampha has volunteered to take on the coordination of the outreach department, and she has been elected for 1 year in this position. Let's find out how she sees this mission and what she's doing to raise awareness of our magnificent CMS among even more Joomlers.
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.
