The ideal night out is ...
Having a beer and a laugh with some good friends

45, and it's getting better every day

My philosophy on life is ...

How did you get involved in Joomla?
Mambo got forked during my vacation in France. Instead of enjoying my holiday I was online all day discussing Joomla with my clients. BTW: Thanks Brian!

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.
