When this issue of the JCM comes out, Joomla 6 has just been launched. A new major version of your favorite CMS has seen the light of day 🎉. And if you know our awesome, well-structured roadmap, you're probably not even a bit surprised by that, because it was announced ages ago: major new versions every two years. Which is, you guessed it, now, for Joomla 6.

Joomla keeps getting better, with automated updates, more options to tweak the built-in template, new custom field types and extended content versioning. 

Are you excited about Joomla 6? Interested in making Joomla even better? Join the global Joomla movement!

Check out this wonderful video, made by people from various Joomla teams:

There's always room for new volunteers, so if you see something in this video that appeals to you, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's work together and push Joomla forward!

Part of pushing Joomla forward is getting the message out to the world: if you're looking for a flexible, stable, safe and fast CMS that's completely yours, Joomla is it. And that's exactly what our authors do each month. They get the message out. They tell you about features, opportunities, clever tricks, ways to enhance your website. Every. Single. Month. And I love them all for this 😍. 

Enjoy the October issue - it's put together with you in mind, so if you see anything you like: share, share, share!
