Its in portuguese maybe get lost something when translate to English but is something like that: Who see the good wiskies that I drink dont see as much as I fall down.

How did you get involved in Joomla?
In my first trainee job, I got involved with CMS in that time Tikiwiki. I have this CMS than I decide looking for something that I really like to work with. I found Mambo and Xoops, after some tests I realized Mambo would be the best choice.

What one feature would you like to see in Joomla?
ACL working nicely and com_content being used as labels.

What is the first extension you install in Joomla?

Complete the sentance "Joomla rocks the world because ..."
...Is the best CMS, and always will be the best one.

A new version of the Joomla 1.5 series was released today, which is possibly the last release before 1.6. This is a minor security and bug fix release and you should ensure that you upgrade all your installations.

NOTE please check the FAQ of known issues with 1.5.11 before upgrading

Its code name is "Vea" and so far the only reference to its meaning I can find is a Peurto Rican gossip amagazine.

You can download update packages at joomla.org

26 bug fixes, two moderate-level security fixes and one low-level security fix.

There are no Additions

As always thanks to everyone who submitted bugs (and fixes) and to the Joomla Bug Squad for testing and approving the fixes.

You may remember that on the now defunct Joomla Weekly News I ran a series of "5 Minute Interviews" with people in the joomla community and I now plan to resurrect this here.

Sometimes you can have seen a screen-name on a forum, twitter or skype for a long time but have you ever stopped to think if you really know the person behind the screen-name.

I plan on publishing one or two of these each week and I hope that you enjoy reading them.

... and Wordpress is better than both.

Back in January of this year I made the first call for votes in the annual Linux Journal magazine Readers' Choice Awards.

The results are now in and in what looks like a pretty close race Joomla came second.

Favorite Content Management System

WordPress (25%)

Honorable Mention

Joomla! (23%)

Drupal (19%)

No surprise that the blog publishing application WordPress once again wins the category Favorite Content Management System with 25% of the vote. In the Honorable Mention department, your same two favorite Web content managers, Joomla! and Drupal, are present only to flip in popularity. This year, Joomla! reached an impressive 23% to Drupal's 19%. Drupal got our vote—LinuxJournal.com runs on it.

Obviously any vote is subjective and in many ways has little substantive meaning but it's still nice to see.
