Where can I find Joomla?
I've just returned from a very successful Joomla!Day in Germany and had an amzing time.
I will be blogging more about the event and my experience in Germany in the next few days but before I do I should explain what a Joomla!Day is.
A Joomla!Day is something fairly unique to Joomla. Other Open Source projects have global conferences or organise gatherings around generic Open Source events such as LinuxTag
. Joomla!Day is different as it is organised on a National or Regional basis.
Joomla!Day is something very close to my heart. I spoke at perhaps the first large gathering in what was then the Mambo Community in Bangkok and a few months later spoke at the first "MamboDay" event in Bonn, Germany, I then organised one of the very first Joomla!Days, in Leeds, UK.
Although each event is different and has its own unique flavour the basic concept is the same.
Joomla!Day is a place for "all" users of Joomla to gather together, listen to speakers, participate in discussions, share experiences and most importantly have a great time.
Each event aims to satisfy the needs of "all" users irrespective of their experience, level of expertise or knowledge. It does not matter if you have built a single Joomla web site for yourself or if you make your living in some way connected to Joomla. All are welcome.
In the last year we have seen a large growth in the number of Joomla!Days being held around the world. Some countries are now in their fourth year but for others it is/was the first time that Joomla users could gather together.
I have counted 22 Joomla!Day events that have either taken place or are scheduled to have taken place in 2009. That's an incredibly impressive number of Joomla!Days.
If there isn't a Joomla!Day happening near you then why not organise one yourself?
The Joomla! Events team will be more than happy to help you plan and organise your own event.
