As the seasons change, with cooler weather signalling the end to a very hot and dry summer here in Cape Town, and the Spring Equinox in Northern Hemisphere is upon us, we look forward to some of the larger Joomla events of the year.

Joomla events during the Spring of 2018

• JoomlaDay Netherlands 2018 - 13 April 2018
• JoomlaDay Texas 2018 - 28 April 2018
• JandBeyond 2018, Cologne, Germany - from 11 May 2018 to 13 May 2018
• JoomlaDay France 2018 - 18 May 2018
  

If you have never been to a JoomlaDay or to JandBeyond, I encourage you to do so. You won’t be disappointed.

In this edition of the Joomla Community Magazine (JCM), we have another installment in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) series, that will help you to understand more about this European Union law, and how it may affect your website, and your business.

We also have an interview with Sandra Decoux, the Marketing & Communication Department Coordinator for Joomla, and there is an article from the Joomla Vulnerable Extensions List (VEL) team regarding abandoned Joomla extensions.

Lastly, we have a German translation of a A new visual language for Joomla 4.
