Slowing down and actually seeing the things, places and people around them.

A phrase I use far too often is ...
AWESOME!

The most suprising thing that has happened to me is ...
I recently went on vacation to The Netherlands with my girlfriend who is Dutch. It was life changing, I never expected to go there and I almost didn't want to leave. What a wonderful and beautiful country!

My philosophy on life is ...
Enjoy every single minute and don't take anything or anyone for granted!

How did you get involved in Joomla?
I took on a contract job for a company who had a basic Joomla site that needed much functionality built on to it. I never have looked back since.

I am involved in Joomla because ....
It's a fantastic and satisfying experience to work with Joomla on a daily basis, pushing the envelope, experimenting with new plugins & components, and seeing the final result and ultimately making the client happy with their Joomla site.

ACL / Roles

What is the first extension you install in Joomla?
Artio JoomSEF

Complete the sentance "Joomla rocks the world because ..."

About Brian Teeman

  • As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

    Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.

    But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
