• I speak mostly Canadian and American now. • I don’t speak Australian very well at all. • So if I say something that’s confusing

because of any language differences, please talk to me later because we don’t want any misunderstandings… :)

Joomla is Open Source

Software

Open source software is software whose source code is available for modification or enhancement by anyone. http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source

And that’s how we got our start. Joomla was the result of a fork of Mambo on August 17, 2005. !

Joomla won the Packt Publishing Open Source Content Management System Award in 2006, 2007, and 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla

Joomla! is Volunteers

A LOT of Contributors

SWOT Analysis• Joomla’s Strengths are outstanding. Out of the box

its one of the best CMS’s out there.

• Many of Joomla’s Weaknesses come from its strengths taken to an extreme

• There is significant opportunity for Joomla

• There are threats - both internal and external.

More coming at the Joomla World Conference and to a Community Magazine article in the near future.

Volunteers

“People are not binary. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, positives and negatives. Don’t judge people until you’ve walked a kilometer in their shoes.”

Guy Kawasaki - “Enchantment” p. 14

Volunteers need 3 things: • Purpose (their why) • Progress (their contribution) • Appreciation (their thanks)

Opportunity“Joomla does more than simple content management and allows small businesses, digital design agencies, freelancers and other entrepreneurs to create powerful websites for their clients. “
