A Joomla hobbyist and active contributor on The Joomla! Forum™.  In a nutshell, his career in Information Technology spans over 40 years, nearly all of that working in various Australian Government departments and agencies.  For the last 15 years of that time, he’s had a keen interest in developing intranet sites and this naturally evolved into the Internet space. His experience covered most activities in the IT field:  systems analysis and design, programming, testing, project management, customer relationship management, knowledge management—you name it and he’s probably had something to do with it (or he managed teams of people who had the subject-matter skills).  He retired from the workforce in January 2007 and, if he thought he was busy when he was working, he’s been busier now than ever—mostly he’s busy having a great time!  When he’s not thinking about world events, Australian politics or making sure he’s not far away from coffee, Michael is involved in helping people make the best use of Joomla.

Most people will recognise Michael by his handle "sozzled".

Ahmad Moussa is a Joomla! Webmaster since 2013 and has acquired the Joomla 3 Administrator Certification when he visited JoomlaDay Madrid 2017 event in Madrid, Spain. He has a Bachelors Degree (BA) in Computer and Communication Engineering and looking forward to achieve more.

His Joomla! story started in 2013 when he was looking for a CMS, he had read about Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal but was more drawn to Joomla! and decided to build a website for his Village (Lala, West Bekaa, Lebanon) after taking some tutorials. That was the start...after 2 years he wanted to give something back to the community so he started answering few unanswered questions in the forum and just kept going. After that he decided to help more by joining Joomla! Showcase Directory Team, Volunteer Portal Team, Joomla! User Groups Team, Joomla! Community Translation Team, Joomla! Certification Ambassador Team, Joomla! User Research & Strategy Working Group Team, and Joomla! Community Magazine Team...He is really proud to be a Joomler!

I run a small website design agency in Farnham Surrey and work almost exclusively with Joomla.

Soren is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Jensen Technologies and Component Creator. He is an active volunteer and contributor to the Joomla project and has served on the board of directors.

I have been a software developer for more than 40 years and became a Joomla! extension developer by sheer coincidence: I was using a very fine extension called SQL2Excel, when the developer of that extension suddenly disappeared. As Joomla 2.5 was around the corner, somebody had to jump in and migrate that extension for the new Joomla! - so jDBexport was born. Since then, I developed several other Joomla! extensions, mainly because we needed them ourselves, like payment plugins for various webshop systems. We don’t develop just for Joomla; we also create solutions for lots of different environments.

I run my own IT company (Schultz IT Solutions), in Vienna, Austria
