Loving joomla, creating free goodies for the community to use. I have spoken at the Dutch Joomla Days, and my passion is front-end templating. As the organiser of the Rotterdam Joomla User Group, always active in the community! Recently written a book on Joomla!4 called Mastering Joomla 4 (masteringj4.com)
A very ordinary Joomla user. It would be too much to say I run an agency, I simply build sites with Joomla for friends, colleagues and recommendations that come from them.
I'm where I want to be. I enjoy my regular non-web related employment but also have a sense of accomplishment (and a useful 2nd income stream) all thanks to the Joomla community.
