JUG Round Up February 2017

JUG Round Up February 2017

Way back in the past, Ruth Cheesley used to write up a monthly Magazine article on Joomla User Group (JUG) happenings. The JUG Team is bringing that back to tell you about new JUGs that have registered, and tidbits from JUG Organisers around the world.

New registered JUGs

Since JWC 2016 the following JUGs have registered and we welcome them!

Do you know any Joomla Users in these areas? Let them know about these new JUGs so they can get involved.

Many thanks to the Organisers for their service in their local communities.

What’s happening with existing JUGs:

JUG Marseille (France) is quite busy organizing JoomlaDay in Marseille in month of May 2017. We had our last meeting where Vinod spoke about how to backup and restore joomla website manually. And we also bringing back the topic again requested by some members about how to avoid “How to Avoid Spam Filters."

From Patrick Jackson

JUG Melbourne (Australia) is rebooting in 2017 after a hiatus for 2016. With renewed interest we are trying to come up with a range of topics to meet the needs of our diverse membership, which include beginners, implementers and professionals using Joomla! in many ways. This year we'll also be regularly streaming out user groups, so like us on Facebook, twitter, and meetup to find out what is happening when.

From Christophe Avonture

JUG Wallonie (Belgium) meets every three months and we’re trying to do it each time a new location so that we can touch more people. During our meeting of January 2017, we’ve spoken about marketing and Joomla; how can we promote Joomla, what are our added values against the competition, etc. The second part of our afternoon was devoted to help our members during a Joomla’s doctor and, like always, we’ve finished the afternoon in a nice restaurant.

We will also speak about accessible websites, AMP,  and Joomla! tips and tricks. People interested in business side, learned how to work with clients, how to save a few hours a week, how to organize projects and why we all do the same mistakes!
