Join the global Joomla movement!
Like every month, the lovely Joomla Community Magazine team has managed to write magnificent and beautiful articles on a variety of topics. To name a few: new features, how-to's, tutorials, community interviews, recap of Joomla's participation at FOSDEM and the opportunity to help shape Joomla's future.
Have you by any chance participated in Pizza, Bugs and Fun? We have PBF stories from India and Iran (yes, Iran), and a general recap - with numbers, so you can see for yourself what PBF is good for. If you couldn't join this time, make sure to participate in the next edition!
As you know, Joomla is proud to be developed and maintained by volunteers from all over the world. No big company behind it, no tech bro telling us what to do: just people like you and me. To contribute, you don't have to write a single line of code (although if you're good at that, you can). There's so much you can help with even if you're not a coder.
For instance: help Joomla get the message out. We all know Joomla rocks, but if no one else knows*, we're becoming the secret CMS no one knows about.
We can't let that happen, which is why we've planned a sprint to work on exactly that: making sure Joomla gets the recognition it deserves, so it can grow and keep growing. In this issue you'll find an article about this sprint and how you can apply to join it.
But an Outreach sprint is just one thing, and it's probably no more than 20 people. To really make a difference, we need - well, let's start with 1.000.
So why not join the global Joomla movement now? This article (from 2024, but it still applies) tells you how to do it!
Enjoy the February issue, written by Joomlers like you for Joomlers like you. And if you like what you read, don't hesitate to share it on your socials.
Thank you!
