If you have never attended JAB, you are missing out on a great opportunity to meet and get to know the Joomla community of developers, programmers and designers. This year JAB will be held from May 30 - June 1 in Königstein, Germany. And, they have a new concept...

Investing in our future at J and Beyond 2014

In recent years J and Beyond has offered extensive bug-squashing events and even some development sprints. But they've been in the evening each time or at other semi-unscheduled times. Working groups have been organized and met but they resulted in a lot of talking and discussion but not much else.

This year, a completely new format has been created. The second day of J and Beyond will have a unique structure - in the morning you will be able to join prep sessions, discussions, or workshops but after lunch everyone will form into groups and work together to get things done. Hands-on things (and not just coding), an opportunity to immediately get involved and invest in our future as a community!

That's pretty exciting and a brand-new concept. And with no mandatory stop time, the momentum can carry long into the night. It's completely up to you. Take up the challenge to be a part of our future.
