You may know it already: Joomla will celebrate its 20th birthday next month, on August 17 to be precise. Twenty years of working together to make every new version the best Joomla ever, twenty years of enabling people to learn, contribute and rise up above themselves, twenty years of community, friendship and freedom. That calls for a celebration. But actually, the Joomla Community Magazine is doing that every month. With each new issue, with each article, we spread the Joomla love, share our knowledge, and encourage people to join us. We have how-to's and tutorials as well as stories and news from our community and interesting reads about what's happening around us. I hope you enjoy this month's issue, and don't forget: Joomla is worth celebrating every day!

In a world where core digital infrastructures are controlled by a few large tech corporations, digital sovereignty has become a major topic.

In the world of open source, leadership is less about authority and more about influence. It is not defined by job titles or organizational charts. It is about creating the conditions for others to succeed. One of the most important lessons for any open source leader to learn is this:

Being a leader is not about doing everything yourself.

It is tempting to try, especially if you care deeply about quality or feel responsible for the project's reputation. But leadership is not about being the sole engine of progress. It is about building trust, communicating clearly, and knowing when to step aside so others can lead.
